Page 2 - TORCH #1 - Autumn 2015

Introduction
Welcome to the first ever issue of the Christians United for Israel - UK TORCH magazine.
Every quarter the Torch will be circulated free of charge to CUFI-UK partners (Torchbearers and above). The magazine is intended to provide factual information and positive messages about Christian support for Israel and the Jewish people.
As this magazine will start to show Israel is an amazing country, a vibrant democracy and a beacon of light in the midst of a turbulent Middle East. Indeed as Christians we see Israel as a living testimony to the faithfulness of God as declared in the Bible.
Many people know little about Israel
apart from the
biased news
coverage. We trust
you will find the
articles helpful as
you reach out as pro-Israel ambassadors to those around you.
We pray that you will enjoy reading the articles and that having read them you will then share with friends and family.
Israel and the Jewish people need our support more than ever!
