Monica Stenberg

Monica Stenberg serves as the ICEJ USA Prayer Coordinator, where she is dedicated to mobilizing intercession for Israel and the nations. With a deep passion for prayer and a God-given ability to connect and organize people, she leads the weekly Rosh Chodesh Prayer calls, strengthening and expanding the ICEJ USA intercessory prayer network. For Monica, this work is far more than a position—it is a calling. She uses her gifts to help raise a united team of believers who stand together in prayer for God’s purposes.

Israel holds a special place in Monica’s heart because it is at the very heart of God’s redemptive plan. “From the covenant with Abraham to the promises spoken through the prophets, Israel is central to the unfolding story of Scripture. God chose this land and these people to reveal His faithfulness, and He has never revoked that calling.”

Her love for Israel began as a young believer when she encountered the Scriptures declaring God’s love for the Jewish people: “My pastor at that time, Jack Hayford, further inspired my love for Israel through his passion for the land,” she recalls. “I first went to Israel in 2012, and that trip further increased my deep passion for Israel and birthed a longing to bring people to the land.”

Monica treasures her work with the ICEJ because its mission aligns so closely with her own heart. “The central focus of everything the ICEJ does is to bless and comfort Israel and the Jewish people,” she says. “I have the added joy of focusing on raising intercessors who diligently pray for her. Being able to do this is amazing!”

Beyond ministry, Monica is married to Charlie, and together they have four sons, one daughter, and five grandchildren. She loves spending time with her family, creating special memories for her grandchildren, and serving alongside Charlie at The Salvation Army, where they are passionate about seeing people set free from bondage and addiction.

A verse that continually inspires her is Isaiah 50:4: “The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned.”
