Equipping and Commissioning Leaders to Stand with Israel
At the direct request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Friends of Zion launched the Ambassador Program — an unprecedented partnership with the State of Israel. This program is a structured initiative designed to equip and commission Christian leaders to stand with Israel in this critical hour.
Respected leaders such as Dr. James Dobson, Pastor Greg Laurie, Pastor Robert Jeffress, Pastor Jack Graham, and Pastor Jentezen Franklin have traveled with me to Israel. Each of them returned convinced that more pastors must see and hear the truth firsthand.
As Part of This Cost-Free Initiative, Invited Pastors Will:
- Be equipped with the biblical, historical, and moral foundations to speak with clarity and conviction about Israel.
- Meet with Israel’s top leaders, including the Prime Minister.
- Walk the land and see firsthand the realities facing Israel today.
- Visit frontline communities and Yad Vashem.
- Be commissioned as Ambassadors for Israel in a ceremony recognizing their leadership and calling.
A private Zoom call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Date and time to be announced)
At his personal request, I am arranging this call at this crucial moment for Israel and the Church. With anti-Semitism rising and support for Israel collapsing among young people, you are being invited to hear directly from the Prime Minister about the growing crisis, the critical threshold we face, and the urgent need for Christian support.
Go to Israel and become an Ambassador for Israel to reach the youth (December 1-8, 2025)
You are invited to take part in a historic program. In partnership with the Foreign Ministry of the State of Israel, 1,000 pastors are being honored with an exclusive, cost-free trip to Israel this December. Over five days, you will be welcomed as a guest of the State of Israel, hosted at an extremely high-level briefing, and participate in an Ambassador Summit. At the conclusion, the Prime Minister of Israel will personally address your graduation ceremony, sign your diploma, and formally commission you as an Ambassador for Israel.
Note, if the upcoming trip is full, your name will be added to the waiting list for the next available one. The date of the 2026 trip is to be determined.
Nominate another Pastor in your place for the December trip
You may nominate pastor friends but you will need to do so immediately. This opportunity is by invitation only and many of America’s greatest pastors are coming, including the President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Clint Pressley.
Why This Matters
Anti-Semitism is rising worldwide at levels not seen since before the Holocaust. Here in America, the change among young people is especially alarming. Recent surveys reveal that many no longer see Israel as legitimate, view the Jewish people as oppressors, and reject Israel’s actions to defend itself.
Even more troubling, these attitudes are taking root among young Christians. In only a few short years, support for Israel among young evangelicals has fallen dramatically. Unless this is reversed, tomorrow’s pastors, teachers, and cultural leaders will be shaped by a worldview that is hostile to Israel and indifferent to God’s promises.
This is not just a cultural or political problem. It is a spiritual crisis for the Church.
Submit your name for possible inclusion in a future trip
If your schedule prevents you from attending this December, you may note your interest in a future Ambassador Program trip in 2026.
For Such a Time as This
We are standing at a generational crossroads. Together, we must ensure that the Church does not fail its calling. As Scripture says: “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet.” — Isaiah 62:1
This is more than a program. It is a lifeline — a chance to redirect the trajectory of the Church, to ensure that millions of young believers grow up knowing, loving, and standing with the nation of Israel and God’s Chosen People.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”
— Psalm 122:6
