Dear friends and partners,
As this monthly newsletter goes out, we as Christians for Israel leadership are preparing for major events in Jerusalem in May 2015. This year we are organizing three different kinds of events:
- 6th - 10th May 2015: Christians for Israel International Bi-annual Leadership Forum - we expect over 50 of our national leaders from more than 20 countries to attend this three-day event. The focus of this conference is on leadership training, strategic development, prayer and fellowship. We are excited to welcome new C4I representatives from Ethiopia, Cameroon, Switzerland, Albania, Brazil, Philippines, Vietnam and Fiji!
- 10th - 13th May 2015: Global Prayer Call (GPC) conference - organized in partnership with Ebenezer Operation Exodus and European Coalition for Israel (ECI). A full program of teaching, prayer and worship under the leadership of Harald Eckert. We expect about 250 people from many nations to attend this unique prayer conference.
- 13th - 18th May 2015: several tours are being organized, together with our local partner Keshet, for different groups including from New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries.
There are still limited places available for the Global Prayer Call conference and post-tours! Do consider joining us in Israel!
BOOK TODAY
One senses that we are on the eve of major developments which will deeply affect the nations, the body of Christ and Israel. On the “negative” side: growing anti-Semitism, the challenge of radical Islam, lukewarmness in the church, etc. On the “positive” side: the Jewish people returning in unprecedented numbers (not always for positive reasons); Muslims coming to faith in Christ in Iran and other nations; church growth in Africa and Asia. And much more.
We all know the difficulties of staying “awake". Like the wise virgins, we need to be “carrying our jars of oil”. Our task now is to be prepared and equipped to meet the challenges ahead.
Please pray with us that at these meetings in Jerusalem - the city of the great King - all those who attend will experience ever more clearly the love of Christ, the wisdom of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for your continued support. We wish you a blessed and peaceful Passover / Easter.

Bring the Jews home - Update Ukraine March 2015
The situation in Eastern Ukraine is worsening by the day, and most people do not know which way to go! You need a special pass, often only valid for a single day, to leave the war area and enter the area under control of the Ukrainian army. Once life became impossible, the young couple Igor and Iryna decided to leave their beloved city Donetsk (see photo below). They collected a few belongings and some documents, closed their flat door and left, with a few Jewish refugees who had a day pass for the shelter in Dnepropetrovsk, 230 kilometers away.
