Jerusalem One Conference Call With Pastor Hagee

Wednesday afternoon I was fortunate to be one of the bloggers to take part in a conference call sponsored by One Jerusalem--along with Mere Rhetoric, Boker Tov Boulder, Keshertalk, Tel Chai Nation and American Thinker.

The speaker this time was Pastor John Hagee, whom the One Jerusalem site describes as follows as

...the Founder and Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Church, an evangelical church with 18,000 active members. Pastor Hagee is also the President and CEO of John Hagee Ministries which telecasts his national radio and television ministry carried in America on 160 T.V. stations, 50 radio stations, eight networks and can be seen weekly in 99 million homes. John Hagee Ministries can be seen in Africa, Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and is in most of the Third World.

In addition to founding this global media ministry Pastor Hagee is the author of 21 major books the latest being Jerusalem Countdown which made USA Today's best seller list. Many of his books have been best sellers with one, The Beginning of the End, reaching the New York Times best seller list.

The importance of Pastor Hagee and his work lies in his national grassroots movement-- Christians United for Israel--which is dedicated to supporting Israel and joined by over 400 Christian leaders across the US. This group sent thousands of pro-Israel Christians to Capitol Hill in July 2006 in its first mission to Washington. Then in September 2006, Pastor Hagee's wife joined with thousands of Christian supporters of Israel from all over the United States when the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations hosted an anti-Iran rally in front of the UN, .

Pastor Hagee is also the founder of the annual "A Night to Honor Israel"--a non-conversionary tribute to Israel and to Jews around the world which is broadcast on TV worldwide. At the night to Honor Israel in November 2006, Pastor Hagee donated over $7 million to Israeli charities in one evening and has given millions of dollars to bring the Jewish exiles of the world home to Israel. His ministry has also built orphanage facilities, absorption centers and hospitals.

A recording of the conference call is available from the Jerusalem One website.

Boker Tov, Boulder takes a look at the website CUFI and shares her impressions.
Mere Rhetoric gives his impressions as well and provides a FAQ addressing the typical anti-Evangelical claims.

I agree with them that Pastor Hagee really does seem sincere and has done a number of things to actively help Israel.

Go visit the Jerusalem One site, listen to the conference call, and see what you think.
