A New Era at the United Nations: Elise Stefanik’s Appointment and Its Significance for Israel 

A New Ambassador with a Bold Mission! What does Elise Stefanik’s appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. mean for Israel? Known for her staunch...

As Israel navigates a world filled to the brim with hostility and danger, its relationship with the United States remains more important than ever. Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had three significant conversations with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, each one reinforcing the commitment of these two nations to stand together against mutual threats and work toward a secure future. For Christian Women For Israel, these discussions highlight the importance of unity and shared values between the U.S. and Israel, especially as both nations confront rising antisemitism, regional conflicts, and a resurgent Iranian threat.

“These were good and very important conversations,” Netanyahu said, emphasizing that he and Trump “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat in all its components.” Both leaders have agreed on the necessity of addressing Iran’s destabilizing activities, particularly as Trump prepares to reimpose a...

Gal Gadot, best known to the world as Wonder Woman, has captivated audiences with her strength, grace, and fierce determination both on and off the screen. This November, she shared a beautiful milestone in her family’s life—her eldest daughter, Alma, celebrated her bat mitzvah. Gadot took to Instagram to honor Alma, now 13, with a heartfelt message that resonated deeply with fans, reflecting her pride and love as a mother, as well as her commitment to her Jewish faith.

In the family photo, Gadot stands with her husband, Jaron Varsano, and their four children, including Alma, who wore a lavender dress for her special day. Gadot's words to Alma reflect a mother’s deep pride and unwavering faith in her daughter’s potential: “There is no mountain too high for you, and no ocean too wide and deep that you cannot conquer.” For Christian Women For Israel, Gadot’s message is a beautiful reminder of the blessings of family and the power of faith to...

As Christian Women for Israel, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to President Donald J. Trump on his re-election, a victory that paves the way for a strengthened partnership between the United States and Israel. President Trump’s unwavering dedication to Israel has been seen time and again, from the historic recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to the unprecedented Abraham Accords, which brought peace and unity with key Arab nations.

This moment is a powerful affirmation that our prayers and commitment to support Israel and its allies bear fruit. As we reflect on this renewed leadership, let us remember that our role as intercessors and advocates is vital. Each prayer, each act of support, echoes beyond words, reinforcing the bonds between nations founded on shared faith and values.

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his congratulatory message to Trump, this is indeed “a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the...

Esther’s story is more than an ancient narrative; it holds timeless lessons on facing and overcoming evil. The plot against Mordechai, orchestrated by Haman, was a stark reminder that evil often operates subtly, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Today, it may not be in the form of gallows, but it emerges in deception, hate, and oppression. Look at your life today—where is evil lurking, ready to ensnare you? It could be a toxic influence, injustice, or spiritual indifference.

First, recognize evil for what it is. Esther and Mordechai discerned the true nature of Haman's intentions, understanding that they faced more than political maneuvering; they faced a threat against their people. As Ephesians 5:11 reminds us, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Identifying the wrong around and within us is essential in resisting it.

Second, prepare spiritually. Esther’s preparation was marked by fasting and prayer, not...

In Exodus 9:1, God commands Moses to deliver a powerful message to Pharaoh: "Let my people go, so that they may worship me." This moment marked the beginning of Israel's journey from captivity to freedom, a story of God’s deliverance that still resonates today. The cry for freedom isn’t just a call to physical liberation—it’s a call to spiritual freedom.

As we look at Israel’s modern-day struggle, we are reminded that God is still at work, delivering His people from bondage. Whether it’s the hostages held by Hamas or the spiritual chains that bind us, God’s call for freedom remains constant. Let us, as modern-day Esthers, stand in prayer and action, trusting God’s hand to bring freedom to His people.

As modern-day Esthers, we are called not only to intercede for Israel but to step out in bold faith. Esther stood in the gap for her people, risking her life for their deliverance. Today, we too are called to pray for Israel’s...

 "For Such a Time as This” 

One of the most compelling and timeless promises of Scripture is found in God’s statement to Abraham:  

            “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  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 12:2–3).

             This promise is crucial for us to understand and believe today as Christians who take God’s Word seriously—and who seek His blessing on our lives. 

 National Blessing 

            First of all, God assured Abraham that his descendants, the Jews, would become a “great nation.”  This was fulfilled in the birth and growth of Israel, and God...

"The whole world must see that Israel must exist and has the right to exist and is one of the great outposts of democracy in the world"  - Martin Luther King Jr. 

God has called us ALL to be disciple-makers! Paul instructs ALL men of Christ to enter the mission of Jesus Christ and to be an active member of His army, "You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." (2 Timothy 2:1-2). 

Esthers, you are not alone in his army of Modern-Day Esthers. We are standing with you. We are being trained by God to lead others to spread His word and to glorify His Kingdom. We have been called to create D I S C I P L E S. 

As we celebrate the memory of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., let us take on the spirit of the early church and be active disciples for Jesus. Dr. King preached,...

"Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men, I bring you good news of great joy to everyone." These are the words the angels said over the hills outside of the town of Bethlehem when they announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.  That first Christmas is the reason we live with purpose... The precious baby in the manger was proof that God loved us.  

Experiencing a meaningful Christmas is not decorating your home, buying more gifts or taking your children or grandchildren to visit Santa. It is putting Christ first, focusing on what matters most, and then sharing that love with others. 

This Christmas celebration can be a time to be still and reflect on the love that God has for us, and then find a way to share that love with others.   

Jesus is the greatest gift of all! Once that amazing love has been placed in us, (Romans 5:5) we now have full capacity to love like Christ.  It is love that allows us to...
