ISRAEL’S SURVIVAL IS AT RISK! Will You Stand With God’s Chosen People?

Dear Friend,

Israel has been fighting to survive ever since the miracle rebirth of the Jewish state in 1948. But what we are seeing today is different. The threats are more deadly than ever…and so much of the world is turning against God’s Chosen People.

And as grateful as we are for the cease-fire that finally bought the bodies of the last hostages home, the reality is that Hamas is still just as committed to Israel’s destruction as ever. And their sponsors, the radical mullahs of Tehran haven’t changed their commitment to that same evil goal. When they talk about wiping Israel off the map, they’re not speaking metaphorically, they mean it.

Their twisted theology teaches that a bloody and violent war is essential to the establishment of the rule of Islam over all the world. That hasn’t changed. Iran is frantically working to rebuild their missile program and their nuclear weapons program. Israel is still in the crosshairs as you read this letter today…and in many ways Israel is standing alone.

And the sad truth is that despite all the chants and protests publicly calling for Israel’s destruction, many are still blaming the problem on the Jewish people.            

A truly outrageous wave of anti-Semitism is sweeping the globe. Israel is portrayed as a villain simply for trying to defend itself. World bodies like the United Nations and the International Court of Justice are trying to tie Israel’s hands and help Israel’s enemies.

Protests against Israel draw crowds of thousands. Chants of “Death to the IDF” and “From the river to the sea” are not support for Palestinians…they are nothing less than calls for the complete and utter destruction of Israel.

Yet Israel’s fight to survive is being condemned in world capitals and international bodies.

The truth is that Israel has no one with whom they can negotiate for peace. The only peace their enemies want is the peace of the grave…they want the Jewish people and the Jewish state destroyed.

The anti-Semites want to finish the job that Hitler started in the Holocaust. It is heartbreaking and horrifying, and I have to tell you, it makes me very angry.

The cost of Jew-hatred has been even more obvious and undeniable since the Hamas invasion on October 7, 2023. Children were killed…elderly people were dragged off into Gaza…and tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes for one reason and one reason only…because they were Jews.

Now thousands more are trying to pick up the pieces from the wreckage of Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel.

As you read this letter, the evil hatred of anti-Semitism is more alive and a greater threat today than at any time since the Holocaust.

SOMEONE has to take a stand. Someone has to say this is wrong and must stop. Someone has to tell — and show — the Jewish people that they are not alone.

Will you be that someone today?

I’m Mike Evans, founder and CEO of the Friends of Zion. We are a global group of tens of millions of believers who stand with and for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. 

Our purpose is to fulfill the Bible command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and to bless the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Every single day, we are doing all that we can to speak out in defense of Israel and help victims of terror and their families in their time of great crisis. 

We also feed thousands of impoverished elderly Jewish people in Israel daily…with many of them being survivors of the Holocaust. I’ve dedicated my life to fighting against anti-Semitism. I even was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for that work. 

My desire to do this started when I was unable to defend my Jewish mother from her husband, my own father. Even though he was a violent anti-Semite, he married a Jew…and then beat and abused her horribly.

I couldn’t protect her when I was a young child. But now, God has placed the calling on me to protect and bless the entire nation of Israel and Jewish people around the world. I am committed to doing everything we can to fight this great evil, and I believe you share that passion and vision.

But we must also answer the command of God given thousands of years ago to the prophet Isaiah. “Comfort ye, comfort ye My people” (Isaiah 40:1). That’s why I need your help. 

None of the humanitarian outreach that we are doing to bless and protect God’s Chosen People is possible without the generous financial support of friends like you.

It’s not enough for us just to be outraged by the murder of innocent Jewish people. It’s not enough for us just to shake our heads in disbelief that such evil hatred still exists. It’s not enough for us to hope someone else will take up the cause. 

It is up to you and me.

The truth is that most Jewish people do not believe that Christians love them. They have often been persecuted and even killed by those who claim to be following Jesus.

Today, we want to show the thousands of Jewish victims of this war – and the whole nation of Israel that we are standing with them today in this, their greatest time of crisis since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.

I am preparing a very special Star of David display that we will exhibit in the Holy City of Jerusalem at the Friends of Zion Museum as an expression of support. 

I’ve sent you a small rose that represents your decision to stand with and bless Israel and the Jewish people. 

Fill out the reply form below, and we will nclude a rose in your honor in the special Star of David Memorial on display.

Please also make your generous donation for the Friends of Zion. This gift will be used to touch the lives of so many Jewish people across the nation of Israel with immediate and practical help. Right now, we are providing food and life-saving help to many in Israel who have lost their homes or been forced to flee.

That’s why we have established the Friends of Zion Rapid Response Center that helps these precious Jewish people who have lost so much rebuild their lives by providing shattered families with critical financial assistance, individual counseling, and ongoing support groups to help them overcome the emotional trauma they face.

This is a major undertaking, but the need is so great, that we simply couldn’t wait. Your gift will be put to work immediately so that we can continue to respond to the ongoing crisis.

With a gift of $5 or more, we will send you the Friends of Zion Lapel Pin. This lapel pin features the U.S. flag and the Israel flag together and will let those around you know that you are standing with Israel and believe that America should do the same.

If you can send a gift of $30 or more, we will send you a beautiful Friends of Zion olivewood pen. The olive tree is an important part of Israel’s history. This laser-engraved pen is a beautiful writing implement, but far more, it will be a constant prayer reminder as you use it throughout the day. You will also receive the lapel pin.

If you are able to send a gift of $60 or more, you will receive the Bible Promise Box. You may remember someone in your family having one of these. This box is filled with small cards that contain God’s promises for your life that you can select and read each day. You will also receive the olivewood pen and the lapel pin.

And if you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you an authentic ram’s horn shofar. Since ancient times, these trumpets have been used by the Jewish people for worship or for battle. You will be proud to display it in your home or office. You will also receive the lapel pin, the olivewood pen, and the Bible Promise Box.

Will you comfort God’s Chosen People today? Will you be their hope? Will you be their defense? Will you be God’s hands and feet of love stretched out to them? 

I pray that your answer will be YES.

P.S. The Friends of Zion Center in Jerusalem is housing refugees, hosting special events for family members of victims and hostages, providing education for children, and so much more…and it’s all because friends like you make it possible. Please stop right now and ask God what He would have you do…and please let me hear from you right away.
