Christians United for Israel

What Is It And Why Should I Join?
What is Christians United For Israel? (CUFI)
Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is a national association through which every pro-Israel church, para-church organization, ministry or individual in America can speak and act with one voice in support of Israel regarding biblical issues.
In February 2006, more than 400 Christian leaders met in San Antonio with Pastor John Hagee at Cornerstone Church to establish CUFI.
Our Sense of Urgency
Recently a terrorist bomber killed eight Israelis and injured 49 in Tel Aviv. Iran's President has continued threats to destroy Israel, saying, "The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm."
Across America, millions of Christians pray for Israel and her people and want to stand with them during these difficult days. As important as our prayers are, it is also important to let our voices be heard.
What I Would Like You To Do Now!
1.) If you share my passion for Israel and the Jewish people and my belief that Israel is America's first line of defense in the war on terror, then I invite and ask you to join me as a member of CUFI. As a member of CUFI, you will receive the following:
Weekly updates on CUFI's work and developments that impact Israel.
Periodic email or fax alerts requesting you to contact your elected officials on issues critical to Israel's security and well-being.

The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from when you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."
(Gen. 13:14-15)
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
(Ezek. 3:17)

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
(Gen. 12:3)
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
(Rom. 15:27)
To continue increasing our support of Israel and the Jewish people around the world through the education of the Christian Community concerning the Jewish contribution to Christianity and Israel's biblical mandate to the land through Bible teachings and pilgrimages to Israel.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
(Prov. 9:9)
Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; he will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
(Isa. 2:3; Micah 4:2)
