On Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022, the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, personally called Kenneth Copeland and Pastors George and Terri Pearsons to express his thanks and appreciation for the significant work Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Eagle Mountain International Church have done to help Ukrainian Jews make Aliyah amid the Russia/Ukraine war.
In partnership with Keren Hayesod United Israel Appeal, the Partners of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the congregation of Eagle Mountain International Church have helped more than 30,000 Ukrainian Jews make Aliyah by contributing more than $8 million this year alone. This is the most significant financial offering the ministry has sown into other outreaches in its 55-year history.
The finances are used to not only bring Ukrainian Jews out of harm’s way and into Israel, but they are used to meet practical needs, including housing, clothing, integration and vocational training.
During the call, Brother Copeland was able to share with President Herzog why the ministry is committed to supporting Israel and the Jewish people:
“We are Jewish because we want to be. We stand strong in covenant with this nation, and we stand on Genesis 12…
Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. So Abram departed… (verses 1-4, New King James Version).
“That’s the family we’re a part of.”
The Israeli president went on to express his appreciation and thank the Partners of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the Eagle Mountain International Church congregation for their generous support of the Jewish people:
“I’m extremely honored to speak to you and congratulate you…for being such staunch friends of the state of Israel and believing in the state of Israel and its unique destiny….”
