As I continued on our ministry tour across Texas with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem, with six in the van ranging from 37 years to 84 (three men and three women), I am amazed at the stories people tell me at each stop.
My tasks on this trip include driving the vast miles, overseeing the book table, and leading worship as called upon. But it also is giving a listening ear to the people who love to share their stories with me. (Especially the ladies, who we all know tend to speak with more words than us regular guys. Just sayin’.)
In Abilene, Texas, home of the Camp Barkeley Fellowship, the worship leader came to the book table and began telling me of her 25-year old Texas A&M daughter befriending a similar age Israeli man at college. He was on the soccer team.
Being the girl was a music major and loved to write songs, even in other languages, this young man helped her write a song in Hebrew and learn correctly how to pronounce the words as she would sing it.
This song became her “ending song” for her concerts.
The Jew said he was not”religious” but often in his encouraging words to her he unknowing quoted Scripture. She would then tell him that. (Someday he too will believe in the same Messiah.)
I love how the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) connects people. One New Man is what He is making us to be.
“The Messiah has made things up between us so that we’re now together on this, both non-Jewish outsiders and Jewish insiders. He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance. He repealed the law code that had become so clogged with fine print and footnotes that it hindered more than it helped.
Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody.” Ephesians 2:15, The Message

As part of the Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem tour in Texas I am sometimes able to sing a song or two as part of the worship time. Love the Lord Yeshua HaMashiach!

Shalom Tuly and Rami.
I had the great privilege of being in the home of your first USA rep, Sharon Michaels, here in the Dallas area. Sharon Sanders, CFI, two more from Jerusalem and two of us from the USA (NC and Texas) are in the state for a month long tour to spend time in meetings with several in the state.
It was shocking to read this week in All Israel news, yet another attack.
Paul Calvert, June 6, 2026 Bethlehem, Israel
This wasn't a physical attack, and it wasn't against a Jew but it was anti semitic. Actress Hellen Mirren verbally attacked because of her support for Israel.
Since when did we start attacking people because of their views.?
I believe Hellen Mirren has the right to her views in supporting Israel, I also believe the verbal attacker also has the right to his views in support of Palestine. ( I don't agree with them myself, But he has the right to hold those views).
We have also heard of incidents where the phrase Baby killers has been shouted at Jews in London. This seems to be becoming the norm, Shouting and harassing anyone who is Jewish or a zionist. And it is putting people's lives in danger.
In Israel when there is danger we have a siren that tells us to take cover, We have an app that gives us an early warning, But when someone comes up to you on the street and verbally attacks you then you get no warning, it is there in your face. You also don't know how this verbal assault will escalate. Does the attacker have a knife? Will he hurt me in any way?
This must be very frightening especially to an 80 year old woman, I would just like to remind the attacker that he was harassing an 80 year old pensioner. I hope he is very proud of that.
Although London doesn't have a siren telling you that an attack is imminent it is sounding the alarm for the Jews to come home. To come home to their promised land.
It is quite Ironic though with some of these verbal attacks, Jews being called baby killers, On October the 7th 2023 Palestinian terrorists Murdered 1195 people, 38 of them were children. So if 38 children were murdered in cold blood why aren't Pro Palestinian supporters looking at themselves?
Why are they condemning Israel with one hand but not condemning Palestinians with the other hand?
I want to mention the Bebas family, I have mentioned them before in my Opinion but I am not going to apologize for mentioning them again.
The Bebas family were kidnapped on October the 7th from their home and taken into Gaza, we remember the face of Shiri being taken into Gaza.
She was brutally murdered in Gaza with her 2 sons Ariel (4 years old) and Kfir (9 months old).
They were murdered by palestinian terrorists, Children were murdered by Palestinian terrorists and yet people on the streets who support the Palestiinians in their hypocrisy want to accuse the Jew of being baby killers.
No one is going up to the Keffiyeh wearing Palestine supporters and calling them Baby killers.
How would the Pro Palestine clan like it if we went up to them and accused them of being baby killers. They don't have any moral high ground here.
Israel has gone into a war on the back of the October 7th terror attack to fight terrorists who use their own people as human shields, Yes innocent people get killed including children, Every innocent palestinian child killed is sad but we know Israel tries to reduce casualties by giving warnings to resident to flee an area they are coming into.
What do Palestinians do ?
I am reminded of the Sbarro Pizza restaurant, A civilian restraunt was targeted by a Palestinian suicide bomber, No warning was given, No attempt to make sure children weren't harmed just an explotion which left 16 people dead, 7 of those were children and a Pregnant woman.
That is the ideology that the Pro Palestine mob are supporting but I am not going to get into their face on the street and call them baby killers.
And more recently Just this week the car ramming attack reported on all Israel news in Gush Etzion leaving an Israeli teen seriously injured.
https://allisraelnews.com/ramming-attack-in-gush-etzion-leaves-israeli-teen-seriously-injured
She is 17 years old with her whole life ahead of her, Just a child, She will have to live with these injuries for the rest of her life.
We aren't always going to agree in life but respect is very important. Jesus said it well in Luke 6 v 31
Do to others as you would have them do to you. NIV
Do you want people getting in your face accusing you ?
No, Then don't do it to others.
The whole section in the bible is called Love your enemies
Luke 6 v 27 – 31
“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
On a subject like Israel Palestine we are not going to agree, this subject is splitting the world and with antisemitism placed right in the middle it is becoming aggressive and violent. So let us step back and Love each other.
Sharon Sanders, co-founder of Christian Friends of Israel in Jerusalem, shares the beginnings of the 40-year work continuing on among the Jews in the Land of Israel.
This was the first meeting, starting in McKinney, Texas, for the month of June. The ministry team of 5 (2 men and 3 women) continues on to Abilene, Odessa, Midland, Waco, Houston and others along the way.
Ahava and shalom,
Steve Martin
