Message from the National CEO
Across America, something extraordinary is happening. A grassroots movement is rising as Christians awaken to their biblical calling to stand with Israel and comfort for the Jewish people.
As national director of Bridges for Peace USA, and after ten years of serving in Israel, I have seen firsthand the power of genuine Christian-Jewish relationships; the friendships, respect, and shared purpose forged there are now being built on American soil.
This is not just another ministry initiative. It is a divine moment in history as the Church rediscovers its spiritual heritage and steps into God's redemptive plan. From pastors in small towns to young adults on college campuses, from social media platforms reaching millions to intimate prayer gatherings, we are witnessing a restoration of biblical understanding transforming hearts and communities.

Zealous USA
A Movement of Young Leaders, Inspired by Truth
Zealous USA exists to reclaim and equip the next generation of believers. We are building a team of young adult interns, immersing them in teaching from leading experts on Israel, the Church, biblical and modern history, and Israel advocacy. Speaking in the language of their generation, through social media, we will empower them to engage their peers with truth and purpose.
Our reach will extend beyond screens. Together, we will travel to churches, college campuses, and communities across the country, building bridges with Jewish communities and fostering genuine relationships. The program will also include two life-changing trips to Israel, where interns will encounter compassion in action, adventure in the land of the Bible, and a deeper revelation of God’s heart.
Become a Bold Ambassador
You pray for the peace of Jerusalem. You believe in God's covenant promises. You stand with Israel in your heart. But at work, with friends, on social media, you go quiet.
It's not a lack of conviction. It's the weight of social pressure. The fear of being misunderstood, labeled, and isolated. Cultural intimidation keeps millions of Christians silent every day.
But silence isn't neutral. Every voice that goes quiet leaves the truth less defended and leaves you feeling less like the person God made you to be.
