This Journey session explored what it means to build through relational warfare — remaining grounded in God’s peace when relationships become complicated. Participants were reaffirmed in their identity, emotional maturity, and the calming influence of God’s peace during stressful times. Reflections centered around navigating imperfect people with grace, cultivating curiosity over assumption, and responding from identity rather than insecurity. The call carried a strong invitation to become builders shaped by compassion, humility, and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.

Beginning with this weeks Torah portion: Parashat VayishlachUli led a Shabbat table discussion around the passage. Questions asked throughout the reading led to personal reflections of encounters with God that have left His imprint on our lives. There was a time of praying for one another and ending with Uli singing a blessing upon everyone.

The Watch closed with focused prayer, a moment of consecration, and a call to trust God’s leading as 2026 approaches.

Today, the German Watch came together as one to declare the Light of the World over Germany!Prayers and heart felt declarations were made that even in the current darkness and rising of a violent political party within Germany, the truth that the government is on His shoulders would be known to party leaders. Prayers were made that as people throughout the nation celebrate the Advent Season, The Light of the World would be revealed! Specific prayer was requested for the DEW group as they are gathering together from across Germany for 3 days this month to pray and seek the Lrd for His guidance in the year to come, Friday- Sunday, December 12-14, 2025.This watch ended with a worship song by Carolyn Hyde, reminding us all to Keep the fire Alive…..especially in this season of Advent!

The Watch was opened by Ros C and a truly beautiful worship song centring around grace sung by Al Rain - “Only one Grace”. Al Rain had given his apologies as he was hosting a Christmas Party for 300 kids. Ros had a past email come to her attention which outlined a word received by Susan Rowe in 2015 when she and a group from Australia went to Myanmar to a gathering of 400 pastors and impassioned worshippers. A very significant word came from the LORD “who will answer the cries of the babies in Heaven?”. “Myanmar will give birth” was heard many times. They also gathered to encourage the raising up of Houses of Prayer in Myanmar.Many scriptures and impassioned intercession were demonstrated throughout the Watch. It seemed to be a time to wait and to see what the Lord desired to be brought forth amid the watchmen present. A crying out for His grace and mercy, and glory upon Myanmar during this time of darkness, of great pain and tumult. A plea for souls.The plight of 700 misplaced people, who the LORD miraculously released, having been imprisoned due to having been involved with the cyber scam hub in Myanmar, was highlighted. Ones who were innocent victims of these scams and had numerous needs as well as enabling them to return to their homes in other countries. A reminder of Sweet December was given - a time of rejoicing, a time where people freely receive the gospel, even the Buddhists. Time to pray for the harvest to go forth. An amazing time. They may be at war but love to celebrate it - the joy the LORD has put in their hearts.Other prayer points were raised – one specifically relating to the removal of temporary protection of young Myanmar citizens within the US by the Trump Administration. Repatriation to Myanmar would threaten lives or imprisonment for those without the proper paperwork. The Watch concluded with the weight of the word brought forth in 2015 “who will answer the cries of the babies in Heaven”? Together with questioning what does it mean as watchmen that come on the watch for Myanmar to take hold of the altar.

Josie Silver brought a compelling and deeply anchored Aliyah message from Mount Carmel, opening our eyes again to the power of the seed of Abraham. She traced the rising tide of global antisemitism, the prophetic movements at play, and Israel’s growing preparation for mass return. Through stories of seeds, exile, gathering, and God’s unbroken pattern, she called us to mercy, readiness, and alignment. The prayers that followed carried a sense of alertness, urgency, and hope—watchmen rising in step with God’s timing.

This final International Watchman Call of 2025 featured Chris Mitchell, CBN Middle East Bureau Chief, joining live from Jerusalem. With clarity and spiritual depth, he shared frontline insights on Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, and the significance of watching through a biblical lens. His testimony carried the weight of lived experience and faithful reporting through decades of conflict and prophecy unfolding. United in prayer, the Global Watch community blessed Chris in his calling, covering him as a modern-day “son of Issachar” whose voice shapes understanding in a critical hour.

Continuing our Journey series, “Building Healthy Community", this week’s topic covered "The Abundance of the Mouth:” the importance of how we communicate Communication is a vital instrument in building healthy relationships. It is the mortar that holds and helps us build as watchmen. How, when, and why we communicate has everything to do with the results we experience. Proverbs 18:21 wraps it up with "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."

This Shabbat opened with The Hebrew Amplified Aaronic Blessing. Then Hilary expounded upon each verse in Numbers 6:22-26 as each participant prayed into each verse. The call ended with Hilary leading us in communion and closed with the worship song: Your Presence is Heaven.
