Jerusalem Centre for Peace and Truth
The Prayer Tower
A beacon of prayer and intercession on the 20th floor of City Tower, overlooking the Holy City of Jerusalem.
History & Vision
The Israel Prayer Tower was founded by the late Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran, a man of extraordinary faith who received a divine calling to establish a centre of prayer in Jerusalem — the city of God. His vision was to create a place where believers from every nation could come together in continuous intercession for Israel, the nations and the peace of Jerusalem.
On 4 November 2013, that vision became reality when Dr. Paul Dhinakaran inaugurated the Israel Prayer Tower on the 20th floor of City Tower, 34 Ben Yehuda Street, Jerusalem. From this vantage point, intercessors enjoy panoramic views of the Mount of Olives, the Old City, the Temple Mount and the surrounding hills of Jerusalem — a constant reminder of God's promises over this land.
Today the Prayer Tower stands as a living testament to Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran's faith, continuing his legacy under the leadership of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Mrs. Evangeline Dhinakaran, with intercessors from more than 20 countries serving in prayer.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”— Psalm 122:6
