Eagles' Wings says it was founded in the 1990s by Stearns and grew out of his "profound experience in Jerusalem".[3] His biography on the ministry's website describes him as its founder and president. It also calls him founder and co-chairman of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, "a grassroots prayer movement now observed in over 175 nations". It says he meets with "global leaders … to offer support, counsel, and strategy". His books include Prepare the Way, Keepers of the Flame, The Cry of Mordecai and No We Can't.[1]
