Christians for Israel wishes you a blessed Christmas and prosperous 2010!

A word from the Chairman John Tweedie

Dear branch members, staff and friends,

Our international ministry is increasing as recent developments in Africa, Eastern Europe, and S. E. Asia clearly show. God is calling to our ranks brothers and sisters in Christ from among the nations. In other words, Christians for Israel International – the movement – is on the move… Simply put: we can enter 2010 with a tremendous sense of anticipation and hope. God is in control!

A word of encouragement

Prayer Co-ordinator Harald Eckert

"He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your
keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand". (Ps. 121, 4-5)

As the year 2009 draws to it's end and as we prepare for 2010 let's make it a point to acknowledge the grace of the LORD. He kept his hand graciously over Israel. He kept his hand graciously over the worldwide ministry of Christians for Israel. And he kept his hand graciously over you and me. He is the author of all victories and all good fruit. To him be the glory. But he is also the keeper in the midst of troubles. In the midst of challenges. In the midst of situations where others fell short and we fell short - the Lord kept his gracious hands over us! Let us thank him for his faithfulness towards Israel. Let us thank him for 2009. Let us thank him for each other. And let us worship him for who he is - the keeper of Israel - and yours and mine!
Have a blessed Christmas season!

Conference movie: Africa aflame for Israel

C4I responds to Palestinian “Kairos” document

Christians have to pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem.

On the 11th of December 2009, a number of leading Arab Christians published a document entitled “A Moment of truth - a word of hope, faith and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering”. It condemns the Israeli “occupation” of Palestinian territories as ”an evil and a sin that must be resisted and removed”.

Christians for Israel formulated a responce to the 'Kairos' document which has been sent to many Church leaders and Christian media in Holland. It is important that we take up the lead shown by the Dutch C4I branch and also respond to this internationally.  read the document

Harald Eckert's book 

"I felt a strong release from the Holy Spirit to teach about this"

Harald wrote his book about the Biblical times of restoration and the Church of Jesus  as a support to collective fasting and prayer.

Harald Eckert: " The biblical vision for the restoration of Israel and the church as an end-time testimony to the nations is the theme of my life. I have published a newspaper in the 1980s for 7 years with the title "restoration", etc. In late 2008 I felt a strong release from the Holy Spirit to teach about this theme much more openly than I did for a long time.  In my prayer time in early 2009 I felt a strong encouragement to publish my key talks on those themes for the 40 day prayer and fast period in early 2010. Which I now did". If you want to know more about the book e-mail C4I Germany: info@israelaktuell.de
