CUFI Washington DC Summit 2010

From my hotel room in Tokyo, where my airline job has me this morning, I am compelled to write you about this summit and convey why you should get involved with this organization and support Israel in this hour.

I couldn’t put off the leading and growing desire I had to attend the summit, so I went. I’m so glad I did. I gained new friends, paradigm challenging information about the USA and world, and experienced the excitement of being involved with something relevant in our exciting times, and close to God’s heart.

I discovered that CUFI has grown from about 9000 members five years ago, to 420,000 this year. Over 4500 attended this summit with representatives from each of our fifty states, including 450 college students. This sacrifice was made in spite of a down economy. There were inspiring and exciting speakers from the Black American and Hispanic arms of the organization. All generations were represented from children to the aged. A true cross section of America.

Here are the two major reasons to join and be counted?

1. Israel is close to God’s heart. So it should be close to any believer’s heart. "Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are my servant, O Israel. I have made you, you are my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you. Isa 44:21(NIV)
2. It’s as important for the USA and our children to come, as it is for Israel.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3 (NIV)

I ask you to visit their website and join this focused and extremely well organized part of the American and Christian scene, “for such a time as this.”

To quote a common phrase from Pastor/Founder Dr. John Hagee, “May God bless you and those you love.” -=db=-

“For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,

for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,....” Isa 61:1a, Ps 102:12-16
