Arutz Sheva reports on the second annual Flags of Fellowship event, which brought together churches, synagogues, universities, and other organizations and individuals in a stunning display of unity with Israel and her people:
“As Christians, we carry a sacred responsibility to bless Israel and the Jewish people and to stand against evil in all its forms,” said Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church. “Planting flags across our campus provides a tangible way to remember what has happened in Israel since October 7, 2023, and the importance of our continued prayers for the Jewish people and the peace of Jerusalem.”
Since October 7th, the Fellowship has invested over $10 million in programs to combat antisemitism, by educating and equipping Christian public figures and influencers with the tools and information they need to reach and educate the wider Christian audience.
“October 7th was a massacre that shattered families and a nation, but it did not break our spirit,” [Yael] Eckstein said. “These fields of blue and white tell every Jew, everywhere: you are seen, you are remembered, you are not alone. They remind the world that standing with Israel is not only an act of solidarity, it is an act of conscience, of faith and of fellowship. Each flag is a promise that we will bring every hostage home, that we will honor every life lost, and that light will always rise from the darkness.”
The Flags of Fellowship movement has brought together hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to comfort the families of victims of the October 7, 2023 attacks, to pray for Israel’s ongoing peace and security, and to celebrate the resilience of the Israeli people. We’re grateful to all who planted a flag, who donated a flag, who prayed, and who continue to pray for the release of hostages who now have been held for more than two years. “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me … He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners” (Isaiah 61:1).
