For Zion’s Sake - Celebrating a Year of Faith in Action
"For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet.” – Isaiah 62:1
Welcome
In 2025, with the reality of skyrocketing antisemitism, Eagles’ Wings responded with strategic leadership trips, national mobilization initiatives, and unprecedented outreach through media and partnerships.
From local congregations to denominational headquarters, from Capitol Hill to Jerusalem’s ancient streets, the voice of Christian support for Israel grew stronger.
We are so grateful for the faithful and generous giving and prayers of our partners who made this possible!
Together, we are writing history—for Zion’s sake.
With gratitude,
Founder & President
