Dear friends and partners,

We send you our best wishes for 2015 with mixed feelings.

It seems the global church is growing. Many have come to faith in Christ in the last year. A body of Christians worldwide is growing in awareness of God’s purposes with the world, and seeking to bless and comfort Israel and the Jewish people. For example, the 300 Christian leaders who have gathered in Krakow in recent days to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and enter into 100 days of prayer and fasting for Israel, the church and the nations.

But there are dark clouds on the horizon.

The tragic events in Paris several weeks ago, including the slaughter of four Jewish people– following the recent killings in Toulouse and Brussels - are perhaps just the tip of the iceberg. The cataclysmic combination of lukewarm indifference and open anti-Semitism in Europe in the 1930’s seems to be repeating itself on a global scale today. There is great unrest in the world.

Our vision as Christians for Israel is that God will raise a generation of Christians who understand the signs of the times, repent for the past, and (re)commit themselves to “stand in the gap” for Israel and the Jewish people.

On behalf of the Christians for Israel’s affiliates, representatives and partners in over 50 nations who are laboring tirelessly to make this vision a reality, we thank you for your support for our ministry in 2014, and look forward to partnering with you in 2015.

Maranatha!

Global Prayer Call 2015 (GPC); 6+6+3 Guide Lines for Prayer for Israel, Our Nation and the Church in Our Nation

70 years ago the greatest tragedy of 4,000 years of Jewish history reached its climax and then – finally – its end. On January 27, 1945 the infamous concentration camp of Auschwitz was liberated. 100 days later, in May 8/9, 1945 World War II came to an end in Europe – and with it the genocide of European Jewry.

Interview Rev Willem J.J. Glashouwer by Hizki Laluyan

What brought you to join Christians for Israel (C4I)? The founding father of Christians for Israel Netherlands asked me to step into his shoes as Chairman of the Board of Christenen voor Israel – Nederland. In the years that followed I wrote a book WAAROM ISRAEL that was translated spontaneously by people around the world. After the first translation “WHY ISRAEL’ over 30 other translations followed so that Christenen voor Israel developed into an International ministry: Christians for Israel International.
