Biblical understanding about Israel
Rev. Dr. John Tweedie
Chairman
As you will quickly realize by reading this latest issue of The Messenger, Christians for Israel International is on the move and active on many fronts. Having just returned from our third international tour to Israel, I can report of our growing influence on the continent of Africa. Our latest tour to Israel included more than forty African participants, among them several church leaders and others who will have significant influence for Israel at home because they also act as hosts of popular radio and T.V. programs.
For the first time, we also welcomed two representatives from Ethiopia. Now that they have had a taste of Israel, they are anxious to pass on what they learned and experienced to other Ethiopians. This means that, while our ongoing project work includes helping Jewish Ethiopians home - and at home - in Israel, we are, at the same time, giving Christian Ethiopians new understanding about their Jewish brothers and sisters, God’s plans for them, and for all of Israel for that matter.
In addition to ongoing developments in many countries and regions, you will also read of our first small steps into Greece and of our latest initiative to hold conferences in Suriname on the northern tip of South America, something we hope will become a stepping stone to that continent. We especially appreciate Rev. Willem Glashouwer’s willingness to carry our message into these new regions. Coincidently, while Willem is in Suriname, I will be in California meeting with representatives of our U.S.A. branch and others who have expressed interest in our work.
You will also be encouraged to know that our latest DVD series, Israel: A Journey of Light, the sequel to Israel: A Journey Through Time, has just been completed. Produced by our Canadian branch, copies of the new series should be available for purchase in a matter of weeks.
All of this to say that we are all members of the same global team working together for God’s glory and Israel’s benefit. In this regard, we appreciate each and all of you….and all that you do! The fruit of your efforts is reflected in what follows..
