Our Mandate

Since Carol and my salvation during the Jesus People Revival of the 1970s, the mandate to connect the modern Church with Israel has been top priority for us. The task is not only living the life of our Messiah amongst the people of God when we lived in the nation of Israel, but exposing the Church to her unique place in the commonwealth of God’s Israel. That job has taken us around the world, from South Africa to Japan, Wales to Mexico City, Brazil to Europe, Russia to the Holocaust camps of Poland and Germany, and so many more places where God has shown Himself still Sovereign Lord of the “Beautiful Land”—a euphemism for Israel.


When Israel gained sovereignty over her stolen capital city of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, the ripples of that heavenly victory touched every shore of every nation in the world: God reached out and herded masses into the Kingdom of Heaven in such great joy that the movement has taken its place in world history as one of the greatest outpourings of HIS Spirit of all time. Surely it is not hard to connect the dots.


Our ministry is on-going, the mandate still in effect, and the doors still open for us to portray Israel in the glorious light that we know her from over 20 years of on-site experience. The level of interest is not waning, but growing exponentially. What was a trickle of interest after the ‘67 War has become like Niagara Falls. To the furthest reaches of the globe, believing followers of a Jewish Messiah have heard His voice and responded.

To realize that even hermetically sealed empires like China have not only heard His call to action, but have made plans to become involved, even to the detriment of their own security and comfort, is humbling. Should we do less?

We live in unprecedented times. The beautiful message of Israel and our grafted place in the olive tree and Commonwealth has a dark and sinister counterpoint. That being the Evil One’s determination to destroy and discredit her. Turning nations against Israel is his top priority and we must stand against it at all costs. We, believers, constitute a nation within many nations, unified with purposes deeply embedded in God’s end-time plan - and may I say, with great reward.

However, the Genesis 12:3 blessing for those who bless Israel is no longer enough. Building on that foundation, we now support for the safety and security of our own existence against the spreading virus of militant Islamofacism. Israel suffered being the guinea pig, and now the world shares the malice of God’s enemies, just as in times of old: Esther, Nehemiah, Daniel, Jonah and more. I say, “We owe!”
