Christians United for Israel (CUFI) just wrapped up its annual summit in Washington, D.C.
I was honored to speak at the event and also covered it for CBN News. You can watch my report on the summit by clicking on the viewer below, and also listen to me discuss it in my weekly appearance with Michael Savage on the Savage Nation radio program by clicking here. Here is a sampling from my CBN report:
CUFI is now the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States with over 400,000 members nationwide - including chapters on college campuses throughout the U.S.
"There's a passion and a heart for Israel for anyone who believes the Bible," said CUFI's founder, Pastor John Hagee.
Hagee told CBN News that he started CUFI in 2006 with a Biblical mandate in mind.
"What are the spiritual things that we as Christians have received from the Jewish people?" Hagee asked. "We have received the word of God, we have received the patriarchs, we have received the prophets of the Old Testament, and we have received Mary, Joseph, and Jesus."
The Washington, D.C. event attracted several pro-Israel lawmakers. And there were also tough words for the Obama administration from both sides of the aisle regarding its treatment of Israel.
"What has become painfully obvious to many Americans is that this administration has become the most anti-Israel administration in American history," Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said.
Rep. Shelly Berkley, D-Nev., was also critical of the administration's Israel policy.
"When the administration seized every opportunity to criticize Israel for building apartments for its people in the undisputed neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, creating a crisis that was unnecessary, unwise and bad for Israel - I spoke out and condemned the actions of administration," she said.
