At a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise globally—from the Middle East to Europe to college campuses—there is also a lot of good news for pro Israel supporters.

Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is nearing three million members, a staggering number. CUFI has deluxe programs, ranging from church seminars to campus chapters successfully fighting BDS.NTHI1

I recently saw that one of the group’s now-famed “Nights to Honor Israel” was held in Columbus, Georgia. For me, one of the more interesting outcomes is the fact that the event saw several denominations coming together; there was even a prayer led by a United Methodist minister! This is good news, indeed.

I’ve been involved in activism for Israel for more than 20 years, and I believe CUFI hasn’t even hit their stride yet. The organization is surging, and I’m convinced the best is yet to come. The leadership is savvy, committed, and most of all, imbued with real character.

The Columbus “Night to Honor Israel” is a signal of things to come. Even with the difficulties Israel must deal with, her friends like CUFI ensure the Jews will never stand alone again.
