Prime Minister Harper has landed with his wife Laureen and a large delegation of Canadians in Israel. Though the Prime Minister has shown unwavering support for Israel over the years this is his first actual visit. This is an exciting time for Canadian and Israeli relations.

Please keep the Prime Minister and delegation in prayer as they journey through the nation of Israel.

Welcoming Remarks by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Prime Minister Harper, my good friend Stephen, welcome to Jerusalem. It's a pleasure for Sara and me to welcome you and Laureen here to our country. It's a pleasure for the ministers of the Israeli government and the people of Israel to welcome your ministers and your entire delegation to Israel. It's been long in coming, this visit. We've spoken about it many times and we're delighted to see you both here. I have to say, Stephen, that you are a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people. I'm not just saying that – I mean it deeply from the bottom of my heart and I speak for all the people of Israel.

This world is often cynical and hypocritical, and you have shown great moral leadership. When it comes to fighting terrorism, you know that there cannot be any politically correct double talk, but only unequivocal condemnation and united international action.

When it comes to anti-Semitism, you have stood up unabashedly at the side of Israel and the entire Jewish people, I think at the side of decency and fairness to everyone: Jews and non-Jews alike. And when it comes to Iran's repeated calls for Israel's annihilation and its unrelenting development of nuclear weapons – you and Canada have stood unflinchingly on the right side of history

And finally, when it comes to peace, you recognize that a genuine peace, a lasting peace, must be based on mutual recognition and sound security arrangements on the ground. I think in all this and in so many other things, you have shown courage, clarity and conviction. And in standing up for the truth, your voice, Stephen, has been an indispensable one. So the people of Israel and I deeply appreciate your friendship and the friendship of the people of Canada to us. And I look forward to discussing with you the many ways, so many ways, that we can deepen this friendship to the benefit of both our people and we look also forward to showing you our country. Now, I have to confide to you that it's somewhat smaller than Canada – a little – but it has a huge heart and this heart has endless affection and sympathy and the deepest appreciation to you and to Canada, so welcome all of you to Jerusalem. Welcome to Israel."

Many morally upstanding Canadians (like you) have been feeling the draw to consider running for office in the next Federal election, or supporting great candidates. The first question often is "Where do I start?"

You deserve this opportunity.

This past week it was announced that the Supreme Court of Canada will hear an appeal by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) that could grant terminally ill Canadians the right to assisted suicide. This is another attempt to swing wide the door to euthanasia in Canada.

When it comes to swaying the Supreme Court of Canada towards life on this issue our most powerful tool is prayer.

The case will likely be heard later this year. Please begin to cover this important case in prayer.

Please also continue to keep Quebec's Bill 52 in prayer. The Quebec law is expected to be voted on in the spring.
