July 18-19, 2006 - Christians United for Israel Washington/Israel Summit
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.
It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. Psalm 133:1-3
This verse best describes the Washington/Israel Summit of July 18-19 in our nation’s capitol. Leaders from around the country rallied their supporters and came together for a cause dear to the heart of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—Israel!
Over 3,500 people attended the “Talking Point” banquet featuring the Night to Honor Israel. Those that were turned away due to the overflow crowd not only came, they stayed and they waited to meet with their Congressional leaders the following day demonstrating their loyal stand with Israel.
Tuesday night was filled with excitement, joy and hope as Christians demonstrated their love and support for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
From the moment the Shofar sounded, the excitement was enthusiastic and unwavering. As the Regional Directors had roll call over their states, their delegates stood in exuberance, waiving their state flags along with Israeli flags!
All the presentations, from elected officials, the Ambassador of Israel, to the music and the talking points were passionately received from those in attendance. The night was long yet the people were steadfast as support was declared throughout the evening for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
The press conference was unlike none I have ever attended. From the moment God’s leaders walked in the room, you could feel the presence of Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our Banner. The goals and the purposes of Christians United for Israel were flawlessly and unanimously presented by all. We were united and the press could sense it! Our God commanded the blessing!
Our meetings with elected officials were filled with positive testimonies concerning the number of Christians who came from every state in the union at such short notice for one reason and one reason only…Israel.
The Senators from Texas, John Cornyn and Kay Bailey-Hutchinson could not believe that the over 600 delegates before them on the Capitol steps were from Texas and over 3,000 more delegates were meeting throughout the Capitol!
Our leadership follow-up dinner was filled with excitement as leader after leader stood and gave testimony of their meetings with their Senator and Congressional Representative. We began strategizing next year’s event and I will share some of the plans in the near future.
The leadership of Christians United for Israel and I would like to express our sincerest appreciation for your participation in the historic event. Whether you came to Washington or participated from your home by communicating with your elected officials…you rallied at the sound of the trumpet and we know God will bless you.
We hope to be even a greater voice for Israel and the Jewish people next year. In the meantime, please stay informed on one of the many Nights to Honor Israel in your area.
