The Jerusalem Connection, International

Dear Friend of Israel,

The JerUSAlem Connection, International is a 501 (c)-(3) non-profit organization whose main objectives are to educate, inform and activate, Christian and Jews regarding:

1. God's purposes for Israel and the Jewish people
2. The Jewish roots of our faith
3. The dangers of Anti-Semitism
4. Why Christians need to support Israel and the Jewish people
5. And what we should do about it

Our vision: To show mercy because of mercy received (Romans 11:31)

We accomplish this goal primarily through email communiques and the publication of our magazine The JerUSAlem Connection but also through involvement in the media (radio, T.V.), speaking engagements, events/conferences, through the publishing of educational and informative material/books/videos and we are also involved in advocacy regarding many issues.

The JerUSAlem Connection, International gives its supporters an opportunity to demonstrate their support through the involvement in our many charity projects in Israel and worldwide.
1. Through our Operation Aliyah project we have been a part in helping 80,000 Jews home to Israel from the former Soviet Union. We're now focusing on the Sephardic Anusim (Hispanic Jews) in the Americas.
2. Through our Elisha Fund we reach the impoverished and those in need in Israel (orphans, soup kitchens, new immigrants etc.)
3. Through our Operation Life for Israel we support victims of terror and the pro-life movement in Israel.

The JerUSAlem Connection, International stays current in speaking to all the issues of the day involving the Middle East and Israel. We believe that a Christian perspective on what God is doing in Israel can be a vital key into seeing the big picture of God's plan and how He is operating in the world today. Not only that, but to see what God is doing in Israel, brings a sense of urgency and reality to the Church to be used of God as never before. God has enabled us to be a part of things and to see things that have changed lives forever.

Shalom,

Our Motto:

"Declaring the times of God's restoration" (Acts 3:20-21)
The time when God restores all things, points to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a process leading to an event. We are "waiting for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13).

Our Mandate:

I. To proclaim God's restoration purposes for Christians and Jews .

For Christians, a restoration of:
• The "Blessed Hope" of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13)
• The continuing validity of the covenant promises of God to the Jews. (II Cor. 1:20)
• The recognition that Christians have not superceded or replaced Jews in God's covenants. (Rom. 11:1, 18, 26)

For Jews, a restoration of:
• The State of Israel as a fulfillment of God's covenant promises. (Isa. 66:8)
• The mandate for the re-gathering of Jews to their covenant homeland. (Isa 43:5-7)
• The hope for the coming of their Messiah. (Zech. 12:10)

II. To urge support for Israel and the Jewish people through prayer and action, according to the will and Word of God.
• By establishing Watchmen Brigade Intercessory Prayer Groups nation-wide. (Isaiah 62:6,7)
• By promoting tours to Israel, conferences/meetings and hosting events. (Romans 15:27)
• By encouraging support of Israel-focused projects, e.g., Operation Aliyah, The Elisha Fund and Operation Life for Israel. (Romans 11:31)
• By encouraging "Aliyah" among the Jewish people. (II Chronicles 36:23)
• By calling for repentance for sins against the Jewish people. (Romans 2:5-6)
• By promoting an appreciation of the Hebrew roots of Christianity. (Romans 11:18)
