A Night to Honor Israel - Sponsor: Christians United for Israel


Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is a national organization dedicated to giving Christians an opportunity to speak with one voice in support of Israel.


Christians United for Israel has held over 150 Nights to Honor Israel in cities across America since February 2006. 

A Night to Honor Israel is an expression of Christian solidarity with the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

The Bible commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), to speak out for Zion’s sake (Isaiah 62:1), to be watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6) and to bless the Jewish people (Genesis 12:3). These and many other Bible verses have one overriding message-- as Christians we have a Biblical obligation to defend Israel and the Jewish people in their time of need.

Israel’s time of need is now.
There is a new Hitler in the Middle East --President Ahmadinejad of Iran -- who has threatened to wipe out Israel and America and is rapidly acquiring the nuclear technology to make good on his threat. If we learned anything from the Holocaust, it is that when a madman threatens genocide we must take him seriously.

During the Holocaust, too many Christians were silent, and we were left to mourn the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Today, Bible-believing Christians must speak up and stand up for Israel. We must act to do whatever we can to protect Israel’s 6 million Jews from the second Holocaust.

We must get it right this time. Our faith demands it. The times require it. Silence is not an option. We will be silent no longer. 

We pray that you will attend a Night to Honor Israel to stand up and speak up for the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

The threats to Israel are growing daily. Iran continues to make rapid progress towards its goal of obtaining nuclear weapons. Hezbollah and Hamas are stockpiling missiles that can hit every major Israel city -- and we know from recent history that they will not hesitate to use them. Anti-Semitism has risen to alarming heights not seen since pre-World War II Europe. And, perhaps most troubling of all, relations between Israel and the United States have reached their lowest point in decades.
If there were ever a time when Israel's friends needed to speak out and be heard, that time is now!
You don't have to accept what is happening -- you can make a difference!  Don’t regret events -- help change them!  Join us in Washington from July 20-22 for our fifth annual Washington Summit.   

The Washington Summit is your chance to send a powerful pro-Israel message in a time of crisis. This is your opportunity to be one of thousands of Christians

standing up for Israel in a time of need. As relations with Israel reach a low point, the CUFI Washington Summit must hit a high point!
Christians United for Israel’s Washington Summit is the premier pro-Israel event of the year. We bring together some of the most influential leaders and thinkers

to update you on recent developments in Israel, the Middle East and Washington, D.C. Then we go to Congress so that you can share your support for Israel

directly with your elected officials and help change the way Washington views the Jewish state.
 
We have no doubt that CUFI was created for such a time as this.  We have no doubt that together we can take a stand for Israel that will make a difference for years to come.
