From September 10 through September 30, over 1000 people from 48 nations participated in three weeks of global fasting and prayer focused on Jerusalem. Led by Bishop Robert Stearns along 48Participated Countries in 21-days of fasting and with over thirty global Christian leaders, this fast included special prayer sessions on Facebook prayer for Jerusalem Live with various special guests, including a session with an Orthodox Rabbi, which had over 100,000 views. The fast led up to the global Awake Jerusalem gathering in Jerusalem October 7-9, which began with the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem! This year the Day of Prayer event was broadcast live to 190 nations, featuring internationally-acclaimed worship and dance artists, and a keynote speech by Deputy Prime Minister of Israel, Dr. Michael Oren. 22 languages Following that event around 500 young millennial Christians from 20 nations participated in materials for praying for Jerusalem were translated into a 72-hour round-the-clock event known as Awake Jerusalem, worshiping and prayer in key locations across the city and also with the Christian Arab community in Bethlehem. 1000Participated in 72-hour People Awake Jerusalem event 2 As students connected their faith to the Land Israel Experience and people of Israel, the love of these young adult Christians visibly grew for their “elder For the 15th consecutive year, Eagles’ Wings brother” the Jewish people. sent Christian student leaders from colleges and universities across the nation to be ................................................... participants in the 2018 Israel Experience “There will always be a part of me Dubbed the “Christian Birthright” by the in the land that I now hold near Jerusalem Post and Eretz Magazine, the Israel and dear to my heart.” Experience is connecting young millennial Christians with the roots of their faith in ~ Jessica 2018 Israel Experience Israel, among the Jewish people and also the Christian Arab community.

In January we brought a group of key leaders from America and in October we brought some of the most significant key millennial leaders in Brazil. The impact of this trip cannot be overstated, both in its significance for Israel, America and for Brazil. The combined social media reach alone of the pastors on these trips were 5 million followers. This trip was a strategic moment to allow these major influencers of the next generation to get to see first-hand what Israel was all about. The trip not only changed their perspective about Israel but bonded these leaders together in a profound way. As Bishop Robert taught them throughout the journey, they began to understand why this land was so important for Christians today. Each day they would post what they were learning to their social media, educating tens of thousands more. The pastors’ group had a chance to meet and interact with government leaders, Jewish religious leaders, and Palestinian Christians. They also visited the Eagles’ Wings Abraham’s Bread Feeding Center that is caring for those in need in the land. Many are already planning to return to with their congregations. combined5 Million social media reach of these pastors Millennial Pastors Mission to Israel - Continued Meetings local Israelis and learning about the culture.

  • Rabbi Riskin Confronts Rav Soloveitchik in Makor Rishon: Jewish Israel Responds
    Rabbi Riskin Confronts Rav Soloveitchik in Makor Rishon: Jewish Israel Responds In May 2012 the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon ran a seven-page feature article, penned by Chief Rabbi of Efrat Shlomo Riskin, in their "Shabbat HaGadol" supplement. The subject matter was whether or not Jewish-Christian theological dialogue is permissible. Rabbi Riskin, a maverick on interfaith issues, has on more than one occasion ventured out onto an extreme theological limb. This time around, Rabbi Riskin appears to have inverted the inherent intent of Rabbi Joseph Dov Ber Soloveitchik’s (J.B. Soloveitchik, "the Rav") major essay on the subject, "Confrontation". The treatise, which was formulated in 1964, is widely interpreted within Orthodox circles to be a halachic psak proscribing interfaith theological encounters. However Rabbi Riskin contends, in the Makor Rishon article, that the intention of the Rav's essay was to permit, rather than prohibit, such theological dialogue. Concurrently, Riskin opens his personal "postscript" to Soloveitchik's "Confrontation" by inferring that the timing and the history of the document limits its application, as it was written one and a half years before the ratification of Nostra Aetate, and in response to the Catholic-Jewish dialogue taking place at the time. Rabbi Riskin's premise is puzzling, because it is well documented in Rav Soloveitchik's personal letters, as well as noted in contemporary academic papers, that the Rav had already formulated his firm position on interfaith concerns as early as 1950 - many years before the Vatican ll initiative. In addition, “Confrontation” continued to guide the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) on interfaith developments well into the 1980's, long after Nostra Aetate.

  • June 17, 2021 Dear Prime Minister Bennett
    June 17, 2021 Dear Prime Minister Bennett: It is with great pleasure that we write to congratulate you on the successful formation of a new government for the State of Israel, the world's only Jewish state. We are Christian leaders from different traditions who feel a strong sense of friendship with Israel based on shared values that originate in the Hebrew Bible. Israel embodies these values every day in its commitment to democracy and human rights, and serves as a bold model of ethnic and religious pluralism for others to follow. We are grateful for the work of your predecessor, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, for all he did to strengthen Israel and its alliances over the past twelve years, and look forward to all that you and your coalition will accomplish in the years to come. We want to thank you in advance for protecting our shared values as they apply to Israel’s citizens, whether Jews, Christians, Muslims, or Druze; for guarding the holy sites and welcoming religious pilgrims from around the world to discover the birthplace of their faith; for defending Israel from outside aggression; and for continuing to work toward peace with Israel’s neighbors. In return, we pledge to deepen our friendship with your country and its wonderful people. For many centuries, the Jewish people did not have friends; indeed, Christians were often counted among their greatest enemies. But today the situation is different. Hundreds of millions of Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia are united in their love for – and strong defense of – a sovereign Jewish state with Jerusalem as its capital.

  • The Battle for Young Evangelicals' Views on Israel Could Determine the Future of U.S
    The Battle for Young Evangelicals' Views on Israel Could Determine the Future of U.S. Policy Millennial Evangelicals are not as automatically supportive of Israel as their parents' generation was. Evangelical groups are taking action - some trying to secure young Evangelicals' love of the Jewish state, others to get them to learn about Palestinians WASHINGTON - Evangelical support for Israel has never been more influential in the United States than it is today, under President Donald Trump. But some Evangelical leaders are worried, and they think Israel should be as well. A battle is being waged in Christian Evangelical communities over the future of their support for the Jewish state. Polls show that young Evangelicals don't support Israel with their parents' level of enthusiasm, and Christian Zionists are putting up a fight. Other Evangelical groups increasingly see Israeli policies clashing with their faith, and they too are taking action. “The Battle for Young Evangelicals Views on Israel” | Haaretz 1 When it comes to Israel, Christian Evangelicals are the most influential religious group in American politics today. Trump's Evangelical supporters have successfully promoted policies aligned with the positions of the Israeli government, most notably the transfer of the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Evangelical Zionists, however, are worried that Israel is at risk of losing its future support among their communities. A survey from December 2017 found that American Evangelicals under 35 are less likely than their elders to offer strong support for Israel, and are more likely to have a critical view of the country and its policies.

    Faydra Shapiro Christian Zionism: Navigating the Jewish-Christian Border Wipf and Stock, Cascade Books 2015. “It is an honor to be asked to write a foreword to this amazing book by Dr. Shapiro, who has pioneered a fresh approach. Her creative and original book will prove to be a classic in the discipline of Jewish and Christian relations.” --Brad Young, Professor of Biblical Literature, Oral Roberts University ''Dr. Faydra Shapiro has given the reader an in- depth look into the world of Christian Zionism, showing that the movement which crosses denominational lines is not a monolith. This remnant within Christianity is still trying to grapple the full sense of their 'calling' for Israel in the context of their Christian identity. Christian Zionism is a must-read for Jews who still have a medieval era understanding of Christianity and accept the media's portrayal that many of these sincere people have a hidden conversion agenda.'' --David Nekrutman, Executive Director for the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC), Israel ''Few could be better positioned than Faydra Shapiro to write so sensitively, honestly, and courageously about navigating the Jewish-Christian border. Christian Zionism is an incredible read from an insightful mind!'' --Robert Stearns, Executive Director, Eagles' Wings, Clarence, NY ''Christian Zionism offers a fresh and valuable perspective on an important contemporary religious and political movement. Faydra Shapiro should be commended for presenting Christian Zionism in an even and engaging manner.
