Over the course of twenty-one days, something extraordinary happened. 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 with over thirty global Christian leaders, this fast included special prayer sessions on Facebook 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. Following that event around 500 young millennial Christians from 20 nations participated in a 72-hour round-the-clock event known as Awake Jerusalem, worshiping and praying in key locations across the city and also with the Christian Arab community in Bethlehem. 2 50 Students visit the Holy Land and are Transformed! 2 ISRAEL Israel Experience ........................................................ For the 15th consecutive year, Eagles’ Wings sent Christian student leaders from colleges and universities across the nation to be participants in the 2018 Israel Experience. Dubbed the “Christian Birthright” by the Jerusalem Post and Eretz Magazine, the Israel Experience is connecting young millennial Christians with the roots of their faith in Israel, among the Jewish people and also the Christian Arab community. One of this year’s highlights was when the students had the opportunity to give blood to help provide for future emergency needs in Israel. As students connected their faith to the Land and people of Israel, the love of these young adult Christians visibly grew for their “elder brother” the Jewish people. ........................................................ “There will always be a part of me in the land that I now hold near and dear to my heart.” ~ Jessica, 2018 Israel Experience ........................................................ Already over 80 young people are planning to participate in the 2019 Israel Experience trip. ........................................................ “This land has given me so much, including my faith, and this is the least I can do to give back to the people.” ~ Garrison, 2018 Israel Experience Visiting Israel Transforms 3 47and will Pastorsnow help impact the future of Israel! combined5 Million social media reach of these pastors 3 NATIONS Millennial Pastors and Leaders Trip ........................................................ Thanks to the generosity of our partners we were able to bring 47 young millennial pastors to Israel. 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 Israel with their own congregations. Meeting local Israelis and learning about the culture. Special dinner at the Sea of Galilee One of the many social media posts from the trip with tens of thousands of views Pastors have strategic briefing with MK Rabbi Yehuda Glick at the Knesset. Special dinner at the Sea of Galilee 4 Brazil Connection “Going to Israel with Eagles’ Wings has completely transformed our entire church.” ~ Matheus, leader in Brazil 4 NATIONS Open Doors in Brazil ........................................................ Following the successful Brazil Millennial leaders trip, doors have opened for Eagles’ Wings to have an ongoing presence in Brazil. In partnership with Dunamis movement, Eagles’ Wings is now working with over eight different movements in the nation of Brazil representing over 50,000 Christians. Bishop Robert and the Eagles’ Wings team have been invited to speak at eight key churches in Brazil, focusing on the topic of why Christians should stand with Israel. We are also working with several movements in the nation to bring as many as 1,000 Brazilian Christians to Israel in 2019. In addition Bishop Robert’s books Cry of Mordecai and the Watchmen on the Wall manual are being printed in Portuguese for widespread distribution across Brazil. 5 European Impact Czech parliamentarians receiving the “No, We Can’t” book 5 NATIONS European Impact Increases ........................................................ This summer saw our impact in Europe increase in dramatic ways as Bishop Robert was invited on a ministry tour, speaking and leading worship throughout Germany and the Czech Republic. Bishop Robert and the team ministered In Karlsruhe, Germany with dear friends Pastor Daniel and Isolde Mueller who pastor one of the largest Charismatic congregations in the nation. Then Bishop ministered at Die Tabue, a vibrant congregation in Heidelberg, Germany. From there he traveled to Prague in the Czech Republic where Bishop spoke at the national auditorium on praying for Israel as Watchmen on the Wall. Following that conference, thanks to our generous partners, Bishop’s book No We Can’t was printed in the Czech language and given personally to every member of the Czech parliament at a beautiful ceremony in the government palace. Just weeks after this event Czech President Milos Zeman visited the Knesset to announce that the Czech government was considering moving their embassy to Jerusalem. ........................................................ “Through Robert’s teaching and the strong Presence of God, the Lord brought me out of my Prison. I received new Power, to take the next steps in preparation for Israel.” ~ Dorothy, Heidelberg, Germany Bishop Robert teaches on Israel at national conference in Prague, Czech Republic A view of the Charles Bridge in the city of Prague Robert Stearns meets with Eagles’ Wings German attorney about the future of our work there 6 Overand regions impacted 20 cities 100,000+miles traveled 500,000 impacted by teaching and worship 6 USA New York, Los Angeles key hubs for global movement ........................................................

Through dynamic teaching and powerful worship over 500,000 people were ministered to and equipped to pray for and stand with Israel. Our presence in the Los Angeles area through the Israel Christian Nexus saw an increased impact in both the Jewish and Christian communities. The New York City area continued to be a key region for this growing movement. Through Celebrate Israel events in key cities, conferences, and guest ministry with leading churches across the country this global movement continued to grow in its scope and impact. Bishop Robert Stearns Ministering at the Ramp. 7 Celebrate Israel Connecticut Celebrates Israel Event 7 USA Celebrate Israel ........................................................ A sea of hundreds of waving blue and white Israeli flags filled church after church this year as the songs of Zion filled the air at Eagles’ Wings hosted Celebrate Israel events in Alabama, Ohio, Connecticut, and Los Angeles. In the wake of events such as the tragic Pittsburgh synagogue shooting these events took on a deeper meaning as a declaration of support and solidarity against the forces of anti-Semitism. Not only were the many Christian attendees encouraged and inspired but our Jewish guests shared poignantly of the impact of these events. ........................................................ “It’s not often that you will see a Rabbi short of words, but (tonight) I’m a little speechless…this (Celebrate Israel) event could not have come at a better time.” ~ Rabbi Eric Berk of Temple B’nai Sholom, Huntsville, AL ........................................................ “It was an overwhelming joy at seeing so many blue and white Israeli flags waving throughout the Church; such a joyous and inspiring celebration of Israel.”

  • 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. Her manuscript is a pleasure to read.'' --Yaakov Ariel, Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Dr.
