Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
Standing together to stand with Israel
We will be joined by Bryce Turner, National Director of CFI.
Bryce led a team to Israel after October 7 to
- Show support to beleaguered Israelis
- Help out wherever they could as they took tradespersons along
- Record and bring back survivors’ stories.
Bryce has been a sought-after public speaker since his return.
ABOUT C4I
Christians for Israel (C4I) is a non-denominational movement. We believe that God is still faithful to all His covenants with, and promises to the nation of Israel.
LATER IN THE MEETING
We will be discussing:
- Latest developments in Israel.
- Anti-Semitism in New Zealand.
- The Refugee Issue and the roles of UNRWA and UNHCR.
- More ideas about what you can do to support Israel.
There’s also a chance to return and find more books from our library.
We’re meeting at the Hao Rm, Halswell Centre, 341 Halswell Rd, Christchurch.
Please bring a plate of finger food: No seafood or pork products, thanks.
Indigenous Peoples and the Middle East Conflict
Today, one hears that the Palestinians are an indigenous people that is having their homeland stolen from them by the white settler colonialists, the Jews. Is this true?
The events of October 7 have divided New Zealanders. The connection to indigenous rights has created fault lines for our Maori community.
On Thursday, we are delighted to welcome Dr Sheree Trotter to talk to us about the establishment of the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem and her views on how the Middle East Conflict has impacted her Maori Community.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr Sheree Trotter is a researcher, writer, and co-director of the Indigenous Coalition For Israel. She also co-founded the Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation, Aotearoa New Zealand (formerly Shadows of Shoah). Sheree is Māori (Te Arawa) and earned her PhD in History at the University of Auckland.
We are gathering at 11.30am behind the Verdict Cafe for prayer, briefing and singing.
Our theme song is
OH DAUGHTERS OF ZION
We will have song sheets available.
At 12 noon we will raise the flags and walk to opposite the Plaza, where we will sing, pray, and declare we are with the Nation of ISRAEL.
Come and stand with us.
Hi Folks
Are you shocked by the killing of innocent civilians? Are you feeling conflicted as to who is “in the right” in the Israeli-Gaza conflict? Why as a Christian should you care about a dispute on the other side of the world? Are you puzzling over what a Christian response should be? If any of these questions resonate with you, then this event is for you.
Hope Presbyterian in Amyes Rd Hornby, has invited us to join a discussion panel at their evening service, this Sunday at 7pm.
The topic is: What should be the Christian attitude toward Israel and Gaza?
They have already had two sermons over the last two weeks on the history of Israel for background, and the sermons can be found here (click the image):
You’re invited to take part in this fascinating discussion. The Q&A session is going to be informative and rewarding. Even more so, if you have thought about it already so bring some questions with you.
See you there!
You are invited to the Premier of this documentary that tells the moving story of how a Gazan doctor, Dr Abuelaish dealt with the loss and grief of losing his 3 daughters during a war with Israel.
There will be a 20 minute Q & A with Tal Barda, the Director of the film, and Dr Abuelaish.
Wed, June 26, 6 pm, Hoyts Entx, Christchurch
See you there!
