The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a charity largely funded by evangelical Christian Zionists in America, has canceled its plans to build a $60 million outreach center in Jerusalem for visiting evangelical Christians:
Work on the planned seven-story building in the Talpiot neighborhood, near the U.S. Embassy and with a view from its roof of the Temple Mount, already was underway following a groundbreaking ceremony last year. The building was expected to be completed in 2022.
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, the founder and president of the fellowship who died in February, had founded the center as a place to train visiting Christians to combat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel and to bring more Christian tourists to the country.
His daughter, Yael, who took over as president of the fellowship following her father’s death, told Haaretz that the group canceled the plans in order to focus on its core mission of helping Jews in poverty and promoting aliyah rather than getting involved in BDS and tourism.
The decision to cancel the project was approved recently by the organization’s board, Eckstein told Haaretz. She called it a hard decision since the project had been her father’s “baby.”
Eckstein said the organization had already spent $14 million on the project, but planned to recoup it through the sale of the building and the land.
We reported earlier this year that when former IFCJ head Rabbi Eckstein died, he had fleeced evangelical Christian donors for over $1 billion. He had made it clear that he was more than willing to take this Christian money as long as they didn’t expect anything in return, and it would seem that with the canceling of this evangelical-funded building project that was to serve as a headquarters for Christian tourists that he meant what he said.
The evangelicals don’t have much to show for their tens of millions in donations. They are lead to believe it goes to feeding elderly Jews living in poverty in places like the Ukraine.
Recently, the former CEO of the IFCJ, George Mamo, was forced to resign amid accusations and lawsuits concerning sexual harassment of female employees. Perhaps the new building project in Jerusalem was canceled in anticipation of having to pay out millions to settle this lawsuit. It’s only fitting that ‘well-meaning‘ evangelical dupes may have to foot the bill for Mamo’s malfeasance.
Also, the IFCJ has apparently been accused of stealing money from the credit cards of evangelical Christian donors, despite the fact that the IFCJ raises about $140 million per year courtesy of these misguided evangelicals. That amount of money will feed a lot of elderly Jews and then some.
“The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah; it was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews!”
—John Hagee, evangelical ‘Christian’ leader, in a promotional video for his book, “In Defense Of Israel”
We need to get our clergy sorted out. Ask basic questions: If Jesus love the money lenders why did he whip them out of the temple and overturn their thieving gain. Make sure your reverends and preachers explain why Jesus hated. He said they will be judged as a generation for the death of all the prophets. Ask why Jesus loved them so much he spoke truth to the lies even uncomfortable truths. Demand you clergy respond and preach a separations of Judiazers and the Church. Judiazers have long history of infiltration. Ask your pastor if Zionisim in Christianity is the work of Judiazers or of God. Your fight is for spiritual purity and not for a special race. Its been a long road but the way of empty hand will see us victorious. The offensive weapon was the Sword of the Spirit – The Word of God. Shine that light and the darkness dissolves, dissipates, runs away, fades into nothingness. ave no fear for the Lamb has overcome and we are Have no fear the lamb has overcome and is risen. Death is not the end but rather the beggining. Lay down your lives for the cause for we are blessed with evey spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.
oh yeah Hagee the the fat zionist slob always pushing war for Israel
I wonder how many jewish organizations raise money to help poor Christians….?
::crickets::
A fool and his money are soon parted.
any fool that sends money to the antiChrists deserves to be fleeced quite frankly. Regrettably, even this won’t wake up the vast majority of patsies…i mean, donors.
As I believe it was Mr Ottify – or Mr Chesterton – said once not too long ago [i paraphrase] ‘ I just wish there was some way to bitch slap my beloved brothers en masse, in love, to wake them up.’
Amen my friend, Amen.
That was Mr. Ottify’s line. What we all have to accept is that everyone will wake up in their own way in their own time when God decides they are ready. When we push too hard out of impatience, we are more likely to send them running right into the enemy’s arms. Time is on our side. The Day of the Jews is short, and they know it. They are juggling way too many lies all at once, and it will all come crashing down as it must.
You are correct. The day will soon be coming, when “every tongue will confess and every knee will bow that Jesus IS Lord”!
good i hope they lose lot’s more, serves them right.
