Dear friends,
This is our first update since the C4I International Leadership Forum held last March in Jerusalem. The Forum was an amazing event. One of the highlights was the "Celebrate Jerusalem" reception at which, together with so many Jewish friends, we gave thanks to the Almighty for His work in rebuilding Jerusalem.
We give thanks to God for the wonderful Christians for Israel leaders around the world who are sacrificing much, and devoting themselves to bringing the message about God's faithfulness to Israel into the church, and comforting Israel and the Jewish people through prayer and action. As this edition shows, the Christians for Israel ministry is growing and deepening in many nations. It is exciting to see the Lord raise new leaders who are prepared to "stand in the gap" for Israel and the Jewish people. It is our task, as Christians for Israel International, to train, empower, equip and commission these leaders and speakers in all the regions of the world in which we are active. We believe that the Lord is calling men and women to bring the "gospel of the kingdom" into all nations, in preparation for the great harvest when Jesus Messiah comes (Matthew 24).
Yours in Christ,
Andrew Tucker
Executive Director Christians for Israel International

Aliyah from Lille, Lyon and Marseille
By Rachel Poot.. The work that Ebenezer does in France, is not only limited to its capital as it may seem. Out of the 600,000 Jews that live in France, indeed, the largest community is to be found in Paris and its surroundings: 450,000 persons. However, the other 150,000 find themselves within other cities in France. "The work of Ebenezer in France is quite new", National Director of Ebenezer France, Xavier Darrieutort, explains.
