had over 100,000 views. The fast led up
to the global Awake Jerusalem gathering
in Jerusalem October 7-9, which began
with the Day of Prayer for the Peace
of Jerusalem! This year the Day of
Prayer event was broadcast live to
190 nations, featuring internationally-
acclaimed worship and dance artists,
and a keynote speech by Deputy
Prime Minister of Israel, Dr. Michael
Oren. Following that event around
500 young millennial Christians from
20 nations participated in a 72-hour
round-the-clock event known as Awake
Jerusalem, worshiping and praying in
key locations across the city and also
with the Christian Arab community in
Bethlehem.
For the 15th consecutive year, Eagles’
Wings sent Christian student leaders
from colleges and universities across
the nation to be participants in the 2018
Israel Experience. Dubbed the “Christian
Birthright” by the Jerusalem Post and
Eretz Magazine, the Israel Experience is
connecting young millennial Christians
with the roots of their faith in Israel,
among the Jewish people and also the
Christian Arab community. One of
this year’s highlights was when the
students had the opportunity

grew for their “elder brother” the

Thanks to the generosity of our
partners we were able to bring 47
young millennial pastors to Israel. In
January we brought a group of key
leaders from America and in October we
brought some of the most significant
key millennial leaders in Brazil. The
impact of this trip cannot be overstated,
both in its significance for Israel,
America and for Brazil. The combined
social media reach alone of the pastors
on these trips were 5 million followers.

This trip was a strategic moment to
allow these major influencers of the next
generation to get to see first-hand what
Israel was all about. The trip not only
changed their perspective about Israel,
but bonded these leaders together
in a profound way. As Bishop Robert
taught them throughout the journey,
they began to understand why this land
was so important for Christians today.
Each day they would post what they
were learning to their social media,
educating tens of thousands more. The
pastors’ group had a chance to meet
and interact with government leaders,
Jewish religious leaders, and Palestinian
Christians. They also visited the Eagles’
Wings Abraham’s Bread Feeding
Center that is caring for those in need
in the land. Many are already planning
to return to Israel with their own
congregations.

at the national auditorium on praying
for Israel as Watchmen on the Wall.
Following that conference, thanks to
our generous partners, Bishop’s book
No We Can’t was printed in the Czech
language and given personally to every

beautiful ceremony in the government
