CUFI UK Update Winter 2021

Winter 2021
cufiupdate Christians United for Israel United Kingdom
IN THIS UPDATE:
The year 2020 was a long and difficult one that demonstrated to us all the great importance of connection and unity. And although the year introduced unprecedented challenges, the Lord in His faithfulness has sustained CUFI UK and through your support we are making an even
petition calling for Britain to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
As you know, Jerusalem is the epicentre of both Christianity and Judaism. Jerusalem was given to the Jewish people as documented in the Word of God. The Bible declares it, and we seek to ensure our government honours His commands.
Additionally, our Christians Against Antisemitism campaign continued to combat the rise of this ancient evil throughout 2020. Part of this campaign involves our work in highlighting anti-Semitic incidents around the world, particularly in the UK and Europe. Our articles highlighting these vicious attacks have been read by tens-of-thousands online, and we will continue to shine a light in the darkness and expose the world’s oldest hatred wherever it rears its head.
One part of combatting anti-Semitism in the UK is to educate people on the Holocaust, which is why we have recently launched a new Holocaust remembrance resource page on our website. As Holocaust denial is proliferating, we must reach the next generation with the truth.
Thankfully, many of you have taken a stand with us in this effort and we have now had more than 14,000 people sign our petition in support of building the National Holocaust Memorial in Westminster. This will be both a memorial to the victims and a witness to all visitors to London that Great Britain says what it means: “Never Again!”
Israel is also in danger from many sides, with one of the main enemies of Israel being the Iranian regime. Iran’s forces are working to surround Israel’s borders with the expressed aim of eliminating the Jewish state.
Once again, CUFI UK seeks to stand in defence of Israel from this threat. Over 12,000 of you have signed our ‘End the Iran Deal’ petition as part of our Operation Mordecai campaign. The UK must take a stronger stance in defence of Israel and stand against the threats Iran makes against her.
Britain
must back bigger impact.
I want to share with you some of the work that was

achieved over the last year. With your help we did not simply survive the year, but we thrived under new circumstances met with fresh creativity, resourcefulness, and faith. The light of truth is still burning across this land in support of Israel and the Jewish people and we look forward to the new opportunities in 2021 and beyond as we go from strength to strength.
Last year we continued to spread Biblical truth and a pro- Israel message through our resources. Our Torch magazines, the booklet on the 12 actions CUFI would like the UK to take, and a special prayer booklet during Coronavirus, were sent to thousands of homes across the United Kingdom.
Our social media activity continued to grow and CUFI UK reached over 16 million people with the truth about Israel though our various online platforms.
With events on hold, we adapted to bring you new online content, including exclusive CUFI UK interviews, daily Scripture readings during the lockdowns and weekly Bible teachings.
There are many Christians who are unaware of the Jewish roots of Christianity and the significant role Israel and the Jewish people play in the plans and purposes of God. Therefore, we will continue to share these Bible teachings and look to expand into 2021 with more videos on YouTube and Facebook to bless and encourage people with the truth.
In addition to providing resources, we have also seen Christians being activated in support for Israel.
We now have over 45,000 people who have signed our
