About Flags of Fellowship
Flags of Fellowship is an opportunity for thousands of Christians and Jews to take a BOLD stand and show solidarity with the Jewish people. On October 5, 2025, churches, synagogues, universities and leaders will unite in faith and support for Israel by displaying a Flags of Fellowship field (1,200 flags) at their place of worship, representing the more than 1,200 victims from Oct. 7, 2023.
Over 220 churches, synagogues, and colleges across all 50 states joined Flags of Fellowship in 2024.
This is the beginning of a movement, a legacy, and a sacred promise that we will never forget the atrocities of October 7. We remember those lost, those who sacrificed themselves, and those who pledge to stand with Israel and the Jewish people for generations to come.

Fellowship Spokespeople & Interview Availability at NRB 2025
Yael Eckstein Available Tues-Wed, & By Appointment
Yael Eckstein is the President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. As a respected Jewish leader, speaker, author, and host of the Nourish Your Biblical Roots and The Chosen People podcasts, Yael continues the legacy of her father, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, of building bridges of faith between Christians and Jews globally. With over a decade of nonprofit experience in multiple roles, she has the rare distinction of being a woman leading one of the world’s largest religious charitable organizations. Recipient of the Jaffa Institute’s 2024 Woman of the Year and The Jerusalem Post’s 2023 Humanitarian of the Year awards, Yael is a Chicago-area native based in Israel with her husband and their four children.
Michele Bachmann Available Tuesday & By Appointment
Former member of Congress and current Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, Michele Bachmann is a longtime a friend of Israel—having first lived and worked on a kibbutz in southern Israel as a teenager, she has visited more than 30 times since and now serves on the board of The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Since October 7, Michele has worked to reach Christians bombarded with anti-Israel hatred—and spread messages of truth and love for the Jewish state and people.
Bishop Paul Lanier Available Tues-Wed, & By Appointment
Bishop Paul Lanier founded Hope Community Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1990 with his wife of more than 40 years, Debbie.
Bishop first met Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein in the same way so many Christians became acquainted with The Fellowship and its founder—encountering him late one night on television. In that moment, Bishop Lanier felt called to join The Fellowship, realizing that helping the Jewish people “is the most Christian thing I can do.”
In 2019, Yael Eckstein, the Fellowship’s President and CEO, named Bishop Lanier Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Fellowship. Since then, he has traveled the world many times over—including countless visits to the Holy Land, to Ukraine, Moldova, Morocco and beyond—always with the goal of helping feed the hungry, shelter the frightened, bringing prayers of faithful friends to the Western Wall, and building bridges of faith between all of God’s children.
An author, composer, and recording artist, who also received his Doctorate of Ministry from Erskine Theological Seminary, Bishop Lanier has made it his lifework to bring his many gifts from God to his friendship with God’s people.
Keith Isaacson Available Mon-Wed, & By Appointment
Keith Isaacson, Security Chief for the Eshkol Region in southern Israel, survived being attacked by Hamas on October 7 riding in a Fellowship-donated armored vehicle. He joins NRB this year to share his story of survival, the ongoing conflict and now the region’s rebuilding efforts.

As a Christian, I am ready to put my faith into action in support of Israel and ALL of God’s people, in solidarity with @The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews:
I boldly proclaim that I am a Righteous Gentile who pledges to pray for and stand with the Holy Land!
Our support for Israel is a testament to our spiritual obligation as Christians and Jews to uplift one another in times of need, and to be part of fulfilling God’s eternal promise to Abram in the book of Genesis: “I will bless those who bless you.”Let’s come together as one and fulfill biblical prophecy, just as God intends!
Amen!
