Engage Israel Brings 70 Young Christian Leaders to Support Israel

JERUSALEM, July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

A group of 70 young Christian leaders from 20 different countries arrived in Israel for a two-week support mission as part of the Engage Israel program which aims to build a team of young global leaders who are ready to take a stand in support of Israel.

The group was organized by Ebenezer Operation Exodus, a Christian Ministry helping the Jewish people from around the world to immigrate to Israel. The group includes participants between the ages of 18 and 35 from New Zealand, Australia, India, Portugal, Estonia, Denmark, Solomon Islands, UK, South Africa, Switzerland, France, Germany, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, Spain, The Netherlands and Italy.

Over the course of the trip participants will engage directly with the diverse people of Israel, meeting Holocaust survivors, new immigrants from Ethiopia and IDF soldiers, as well as enjoying home hospitality opportunities with local Israeli families and participating in volunteer work.

"It is important to bring these young adults at a time like this, so that they can see the difference between the media and reality," explained Tom Brooker, Engage Israel's team leader. "We want to demonstrate to Israel that they have friends who will stand by them, no matter what the situation is. We want them to go back to their churches and encourage Christians worldwide to stand up for the truth."

"At a time when we see how anti-Semitism is flourishing throughout the world, these young leaders will be the future supporters of the return of Diaspora Jewry to Israel," said Moshe Gabay, associate director of Keshet Educational Journeys, which developed and operates this program.
