In a surprising spectacle, a group of Christian natives from Papua New Guinea recently chanted together, in Hebrew and English, one of the most central Jewish prayers – Shema Yisrael.
Those unusual moments were documented on video by missionary Yakov Damkani, who claimed, “We came to Papua New Guinea and found a real, genuine love for Israel.”
Shema Yisrael is a Jewish prayer first found in the Five Books of Moses,  copied by Christians and put in the New Testament .
Shema Yisrael is central to the morning and evening Jewish prayer services. Morning services mandate reciting it by a specific time called "zman kriat Shema", the time up to which one may say the prayer as part of the service.
The complete “Shema” prayer includes three parts taken from Devarim (Deuteronomy) 6:4–9, 11:13-21, and Bamidbar (Numbers) 15:37–41. Read the rest on: Arutz7
