History Christians for Israel

Christians for Israel International was established in 1979 in Holland and Jerusalem under the inspired leadership of the Dutchmen Karel van Oordt and Pee Koelewijn. Since then, the Lord has blessed the movement richly with 25 years' experience as a European-based ministry, which has grown out of the rich soil of the long and deep tradition of friendship between Holland and the Jewish people.

We have bonds with many people and institutions in Israel, at all levels of society we have built a solid network of branches in Europe, Americas, Africa and Asia Pacific. We are blessed by a growing network of contacts and activities in many other nations. We are working hard to develop a wide variety of educational resources and teaching materials in many languages.
