How Christians Around the Globe Show Their Support for Israel

SHARE
Support for Israel has never been confined to its borders. Across continents and cultures, Christians have stood with the Jewish state, offering solidarity grounded in faith, biblical promise, and shared values.
Whether through political advocacy or charitable works, these efforts reflect a deep spiritual connection with the land and people of Israel. Here are five ways Christians around the globe show their unwavering support:
1. Faith-Based Political Advocacy
Christian leaders have become influential advocates for Israel on the political stage. Notable figures such as Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo have used their positions to advance policies that affirm Israel’s sovereignty, from supporting the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem to defending Israel’s rights to the Golan Heights.
Through the work of organizations like the Israel Allies Foundation, faith-driven diplomacy has become a powerful channel for international support. These efforts are not merely political—they are acts of conviction rooted in scripture.
2. Celebrating Biblical Feasts in Jerusalem
Every year during Sukkot—the Feast of Tabernacles—thousands of Christians from around the world travel to Jerusalem. These pilgrimages are more than symbolic; they fulfill the biblical prophecy in Zechariah 14:16, which envisions nations gathering in Jerusalem to worship.
Parades, worship services, and festive gatherings fill the streets of the Holy City, visibly displaying global Christian solidarity. For many, walking where Jesus once walked is not just spiritual renewal—it’s a public declaration of support for Israel’s destiny.
3. Humanitarian Aid and Support for Survivors
Christian ministries and churches actively fund and support projects that benefit Israel’s vulnerable communities. From assisting Holocaust survivors and new immigrants to supporting families in need, these efforts reflect tangible love in action.
Ministries like Larry Huch Ministries and the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) are just a few examples of organizations dedicated to uplifting Israeli society through compassion and charity. These acts of service highlight the enduring biblical call to bless and care for the people of Israel.
4. Educating and Mobilizing Church Networks
Christian leaders are using their platforms to teach their congregations about Israel’s biblical significance. Pastor John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel organization in America, has mobilized millions through conferences, media, and prayer events.
Across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, pastors like Dr. Young Hoon Lee and Pastor Enoch Adeboye are equipping their churches to stand with Israel in prayer and advocacy. This educational push ensures the next generation of believers continues this vital support.
5. Cultural and Media Engagement
From documentaries and films to books and broadcasts, Christian influencers are using media to champion Israel’s story. Gordon Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network and actor Jon Voight have consistently defended Israel in public forums.
Pete Hegseth’s Israel-focused documentaries on Fox Nation have also brought widespread attention to Israel’s challenges and triumphs. These cultural contributions shape public opinion and counter misinformation with truth and testimony.
As Christians around the world continue to stand with Israel, their support is more than symbolic—it’s spiritual, practical, and enduring.
