Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
Steve Lightle of Ebenezer Emergency Fund is the bestselling author of Exodus II and Operation Exodus II.
Steve, a former businessman from Seattle, has lived in Israel and, as a keynote speaker, now travels the world extensively. Being an onsite intercessor, he has witnessed the breakup of Communism in the former Soviet Union, the rebuilding of Israel, and current turmoil in many nations. For 25 years since its start, Steve has been actively involved with Operation Exodus assisting Jewish migrants return to Israel.
Steve has a message for both Christians and the Jewish people today. He will be sharing insights into the deep current issues in the Middle East, the re-gathering of the exiles of Israel, the spiritual battle entailed, and the importance of intercessory prayer. Also, amazing testimonies of the Lord’s valiant intervention on behalf of His Jewish people.
CANCELLED: Folks, unfortunately recently implemented visa requirements have meant that Stan does not have the necessary visas required to enter Australia. This has meant that the NZ leg of his speaking tour has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Coming of the Kingdom of Heaven: How God used the ANZAC nations to help prepare the way for the King.

This demonstration of the ancient Passover meal powerfully reveals the sacrificial ministry of Jesus as the Lamb of God, and uncovers the roots of the Christian communion, using the very elements God prescribed for the Seder itself. The 1-hour demonstration is an unforgettable journey through the “Last Supper,” which was, in fact, the Messiah’s last Passover meal…until He returns!

Disclaimer:
Under the circumstances, Israel needs all the supporters it can get.
For this reason, we have agreed to circulate notices of pro-Israel events around the country whether they were organized by NZFOI or not.
Naturally, Israel supporters can come from quite diverse schools of thought so in sending this notice to you, it doesn’t mean we endorse everything someone else says or does.
In all things, graciousness and kindness go a long way.
