Christian Media Summit in Israel

Over 130 Christian media broadcasters from 30 countries and 5 continents met in Israel last week. These broadcasters are reaching over 1 billion people around the world.

The 4 day conference opened with a gala event attended by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who said “Israel has no better friends – I mean that – no better friends in the world than the Christian communities around the world. And Israel is the one country in a vast region where Christians not only survive, they thrive.”

“You know the truth about Israel's history and the truth about our commitment to freedom. Freedom is under a challenge all the time and I think it scored a big victory the other day. I want to thank President Trump for his courageous speech outlining a new course against Iran, the enemy of our free civilization.”

During the course of the conference, the Christian journalists had a unique opportunity to see, hear and interact with major Israeli politicians, academicians and other noted Israelis, who took part in various panel discussions.

The summit also featured personal encounters with members of Jerusalem’s bustling high-tech start-up world, as well as noted leaders within the city’s civic, cultural and religious community.

The summit coincided with the 50^th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel. In this spirit of unity, the summit’s goal aimed to foster a better understanding and strengthen the friendship between Christians worldwide and the State of Israel.
