AUDIO :: Bloggers Conference Call with Pastor John Hagee
Click here to listen to this terrific call.
Pastor Hagee is the Founder and Senior Pastor of
Cornerstone Church, an evangelical church with 18,000 active members. Pastor Hagee is also the President and CEO of
John Hagee Ministries which telecasts a national radio and television ministry to Americans on 160 T.V. stations, 50 radio stations, eight networks and 99 million homes, weekly worldwide. John Hagee Ministries reaches Africa, Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and most of the Third World.
In addition to founding a global media ministry, Pastor Hagee is the author of 21 major books, the latest being
Jerusalem Countdown -- which made USA Today's best seller list. Many of his books have been best sellers, with one,
The Beginning of the End, reaching the New York Times best seller list.
In February 2006, Pastor Hagee decided the time had come to create a national grassroots

movement focused on support for Israel. He called upon Christian leaders from across America to join him in launching this new initiative. Over 400 Christian leaders, each representing a denomination, mega-church, media ministry, publishing company, or Christian university, answered the call and
Christians United for Israel was born. In July 2006, CUFI hosted its first mission to Washington, sending thousands of pro-Israel Christians to Capitol Hill to lobby in support of Israel. In September 2006, when the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations hosted an
anti-Iran rally in front of the UN, Pastor Hagee's wife, Diana, attended the event, along with thousands of Christian supporters of Israel from all over the United States.
Pastor Hagee is the founder of "
A Night to Honor Israel" which is celebrated annually at the Cornerstone Church and broadcast over national and international television. "A Night to Honor Israel" is a non-conversionary tribute to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people of the world. In November 2006, Pastor Hagee hosted the first "National Night to Honor Israel," where he donated over $7 million to Israeli charities in one evening! In addition, Pastor Hagee's ministry has given millions of dollars to bring the Jewish exiles of the world home to Israel. The ministry has provided comfort and consolation to the Jewish people, through the building of orphanage facilities, absorption centers and hospitals.
In our call, Pastor Hagee spoke about Christians United for Israel, why Christians support Israel and why supporting Israel has become such a priority to them. Pastor Hagee formed CUFI to perform three functions:
1. To provide a rapid response team of tens of millions of Christians to contact Washington, on a moment's notice, on issues pertaining to Israel.
2. To organize an annual Washington Summit that would bring thousands of Christians to Capitol Hill with he sole purpose of advocating for Israel.
3. To host a Night to Honor Israel in every major U.S. City.
It is a joy and a treat to listen to a man who says what he means, and means what he says. Pastor Hagee feels that every Bible-believing Christian is obligated to support Israel, and Pastor Hagee sees it as his mission to unite Christians for this purpose.
This call is
not to be missed. Pastor Hagee is an honest, sincere and genuine friend of Israel and the Jewish people. His support should be embraced and appreciated.
