Dear Friends,
2015 has been a special year in so many ways. We thank God for all His blessings over the last year, including -
- A successful C4I Leadership Forum in Israel in Jerusalem in May 2015
- Amazing commitment, perseverance and creativity of our Regional Directors – Marie Louise Weissenböck (Europe), Wilson Ng (Asia), Graeme Lee (Oceania/Pacific), Drake Kanaabo (East Africa), and Elemi Samson (Central/West Africa)
- Continued health of our International President Willem Glashouwer as he travels the world preaching God’s word
- Ongoing work of the C4I leaders, staff and volunteers in more than 40 nations throughout the world
- A new generation of C4I leaders and teachers arising in many nations – including USA, Brazil, Albania, Denmark, Myanmar, Fiji, and Cook Islands.
As we celebrate the coming of Christ in the flesh in humility, we also look forward to His coming again in glory - for Israel, the church and the nations.
We wish you a Blessed Christmas and prosperous 2016!

Israel & Christians Today Int. Version, December 2015 Published
The international version of the Israel & Christians Today newspaper of December 2015 has been released. The main purpose of Israel & Christians Today is to explore the relationship between the Church, the nations and Israel (the Jewish people) from a Biblical perspective. The newspaper takes the position that God is faithful to His promises and that the restoration of the nation of Israel in our generation is a sign of Hope for the Church of the Coming of the Lord. Our message is intended for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to discover God's promises for the Jewish people and the Church and the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy of which we are called to be part.

Food parcels Ukraine: Jewish Roza has to survive on 23 euro cents
We received a phone call from Roza, whom we’ve known for a while, late one evening this week. An acquaintance informed her that we were handing out food parcels, and she wanted to know if we could give her one. I said to myself: ‘Why?"...Rosa does not need that!’ But we always have extra food parcels in our buses and so we drove to Rosa and she told us her story.

Bring the Jews Home - An emotional farewell, also for us!
We have known Liliya Presler for many years. She was the right hand of Holocaust survivor Rita Schweibes, who is responsible for the small Jewish community in Tulchin. Liliya always accompanied us whenever we visited the mass grave in a forest close to a small village in Ukraine, to listen to Rita’s horrific story! Liliya knew what Rita was talking about because her mother too had survived the Holocaust.
