Biblical understanding about Israel
C4I African trip to Israel a great success!
As a result of the conferences which Christians for Israel International organized in Kampala and Mbarara in Uganda in October last year with Rev. John Tweedie and Jos van Westing as main speakers, and the official opening of the C4I East Africa office in Kampala, a selected group of pastors, politicians, lawyers, teachers and businessmen signed up for the Israel Study Trip 21-28 March. Among them was the President of the Evangelical Alliance in Uganda, Alex Mitala. Besides attendees from Uganda there were 2 evangelists from Japan and Brazil, a lawyer from Nigeria and 2 pastors from Ethiopia, as well as an American observer with C4I International, living in Holland.
All along the trip there were very special meetings with rabbi's who take care of the poor and the hungry, messianic Jews, a retired Israeli Ambassador in Africa, a holocaust survivor who gave his testimony, a Palestinian pastor who believes the Land belongs to Israel according to the Bible, and representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Keren Hayesod and an exceptional and impressive visit to the Border Police.
Above and beyond being in the Promised land and walking in the footsteps of Jesus, the group got extensive training about Gods’ everlasting Covenants with Israel and through Israel the blessings for the Church. The unique meetings with so many people living in the Land were revealing to all of them and no doubt have deeply changed their opinions about the rights of the Jews to live in Judea and Samaria and the way the mass media manipulate the history and the facts.
This intensive Study Trip was an illuminating experience and a blessing for both Jew and Gentile.
