Be part of the miracle work God is doing

Dear Friend,

Shalom from your Friends of Zion Center in Jerusalem.

There is joy in Israel like nothing I’ve seen in the past 45 years. I flew to Israel to be here when the hostages were released, and it has been overwhelming. 

Together we have done so much to help the families of these precious people, and it is an amazing answer to prayer that they are finally home.

I was invited to the Israeli Parliament for the speech by President Trump. They gave me the best seat of any American besides the president’s team. 

 I shared a word from the Lord while I was in Israel about Cyrus. It was covered by all the media throughout the world and was seen by virtually the entire nation of Israel, including the president.

A lot of things have changed since I made my first trip to Israel. That was over 200 trips ago, as I have gone to Israel over and over again as your ambassador.

That first trip changed my life and set events in motion that have changed the world. 

In 1980, I met with Prime Minister Menachem Begin and told him God wanted me to build a bridge. I’ll never forget his response. “Like the Brooklyn Bridge?” he asked. “No, a bridge of love and understanding between Christians and Jews,” I said. “Then let’s build it together,” he replied.

It was also on that trip that I met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time and prophesied that he would one day lead the nation of Israel. He was just a young man, then grieving the death of his older brother and hero Yoni and not involved in politics at all. But God was speaking, and when I asked Mr. Begin to give “Bibi” a job in the government, he agreed, and today the prophecy of 45 years ago has been fulfilled.

In just a few weeks, I will be returning to Israel to host the first 1,000 pastors and leaders taking part in our Ambassador Program. 

This is truly going to be a world-changing, destiny-altering, Holy Spirit-empowered event, and it is so important. 

We’ve seen the world turn against Israel. A few weeks ago more than 150 countries voted to recognize Palestine as a nation. And tragically, we’ve seen support for Israel dropping fast — not just around the world, but here in America, and that drop is especially large among young people.

Even within the church, young evangelicals support Israel at rates less than half of what the older generations do. 

This is a problem today, but it is a deadly threat tomorrow because today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders.

If this trend is not reversed, Israel’s safety and stability will be undermined in dangerous ways. 

My friend Prime Minister Netanyahu has told me personally more than once that the most important thing we can do for his nation is reach the next generation with the truth.

And that’s exactly what the Ambassador Program will do. 

We are training leaders and equipping them to reach young people, countering the lies being told about Israel with the truth and effectively speaking out on behalf of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. 

The leaders have signed up. The government of Israel has stepped up in a miraculous and unprecedented way, partnering with us on this event, and they are paying for all the travel and lodging expenses, which is almost 90% of the total. 

 What an answer to prayer! What favor from God! You and I are in partnership with Israel in a way no Believers have ever been before.

But the total expenses for this event are about $5 million, and that means we must raise $500,000 immediately…on top of all the other things we are doing to bless and help suffering Jewish people.

This is an urgent financial need. We can’t let Israel down. They’re doing so much at a time when they need our help desperately, and I cannot do this without you. Please be as generous as you can. It’s urgent.

The costs for venues, lighting, audio/visual equipment, cameras, staging, signs, and so much more are staggering. 

The eyes of the entire nation of Israel will be on this event. The Jewish people are going to see a massive demonstration of Christian love and support…something many of them have never seen before. 

We have to do this right, despite the financial burden.

When I took this challenge — and it is impossible in the natural for us to be able to do all that needs to be done — to the Lord in prayer this morning, He directed me to share the need with you.

Today you and I have an opportunity to do something truly great for God…something that will shape the future and change the course of nations…and something that will have an eternal impact. 

 But the only way that can happen is if friends like you share the vision and help provide the resources to make it possible.

This first meeting of new ambassadors and leaders and voices for Israel is just the beginning. Next year we are working and planning for 10,000 more…and even more in the years beyond.

God has given us a 100-year plan…something that will be impacting the world long after we are gone.

So today in obedience to God’s direction, I am laying this need before you and asking for your help. 

I am praying that thousands of friends and partners will give $50 or $100. 

I am praying that hundreds will give $500 or $1,000. 

And I am praying that God will touch the hearts of a special few to give $5,000 or $10,000 or even more.

This is the most important thing we can do for Israel right now. This is a powerful investment in the future of Israel, of America, and of the entire world. 

This is God’s work, and I’m asking you to be part of making the miracle happen.

I’m so excited to see what God is going to do through the Ambassador Program and all the rest of the work of the Jerusalem Prayer Team in Israel and around the world. 

Please be as generous as you can and send your special gift today. God bless you for being part of this outreach to bless and defend His Chosen People.

P.S. Please be in special prayer for our team on the ground in Jerusalem who are working day and night to pull everything together. Pray for them to have strength and wisdom. And pray for their protection. At least once a week they have to stop working and rush to the bomb shelters on campus when the warning sirens sound for another missile or drone attack.

P.P.S. Please prayerfully consider how God wants you to invest in this great ministry and an outreach that will truly change the world. I believe if you and every friend and partner will respond as God leads, the need will be met in full. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
