Ambassador Huckabee endorses Epicenter Summit in Jerusalem in April 2027, urges pastors to bring 3,000 Christians to Israel to tour and attend

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel and a devout Evangelical Christian, has agreed to be a keynote speaker at a major conference in Jerusalem that ALL ISRAEL NEWS and The Joshua Fund are organizing for next spring.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the one-day conference, which will be held on April 7, 2027, Huckabee is strongly encouraging pastors and ministry leaders to begin organizing their own tours that will bring Christians from the U.S. and all over the world to the Summit.

“It’s an important thing for Christians to come to Israel, to come to the land of the Bible,” Huckabee said on THE ROSENBERG REPORT last Thursday night on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).

“It’s one thing to read the Bible, as we all love to do. But once you’ve come [to Israel], you no longer read the Bible in black and white,” said Huckabee, who has brought more than 100 tours over the years.

“You read it in 4K color. It’s so vivid. It’s also important to see the land, experience the people, and understand the uniqueness that this little piece of real estate holds.”

Huckabee also described how important he believes it is to mobilize upwards of 3,000 Christians to come to Israel, tour the land, and attend the Summit.

“To get 3,000 believers from all over the world to come will do a couple of things,” the ambassador told me.
“One, it will be an incredible encouragement to the people of Israel – to the Jewish people of Israel. This will encourage them that they’re not standing alone and that their Christian friends from all over the world are coming to say, ‘We’re with you.’”

What’s more, he said, “It’s also an incredible opportunity for these believers who come here to return home, speak into their churches, and give testimony of what they have seen and heard.”

We’re also excited that the cost of a ticket to the Epicenter Summit will be included for everyone on our tour.

We’re praying that pastors, ministry leaders, prayer warriors, and Christian laypeople all over the world who haven’t been able to come to Israel because of COVID and several years of war will join us and step into the dramatic and prophetic story of what the God of Israel is doing here in the center of the earth.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORE AND SIGN UP?

We’re announcing both the tour and the Summit now to give you 14 months to plan, save, pray, and prepare to see your spiritual life forever transformed.

WHO IS SPEAKING AT THE 2027 EPICENTER SUMMIT?

We have invited some of the most respected government leaders in the region to brief you on how they view the traumatic events of the past few years and what you should know about the future of the new Middle East that is emerging.

These include:

Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who has also given the Summit a wonderful endorsement
Ambassador Mike Huckabee, the first outspoken Evangelical Christian ever appointed to serve as U.S. ambassador to Israel

We have also invited some of the most respected Evangelical leaders in the world to teach the scriptures, address our theme – “Israel, Evangelicals, and the Future of Peace” – and lead us in prayer.

These include:

HOW CAN I BRING MY CHURCH OR MINISTRY GROUP TO ISRAEL TO ATTEND THE SUMMIT?

ALL ISRAEL NEWS and The Joshua Fund want to make it easy for pastors and ministry leaders to bring their own tours.

Specifically, we have ways to help:

Pastors design and host their own church tours to Israel next spring
Ministry leaders create and lead their own custom Israel trips
Groups attend the Epicenter Summit together

You can use your own tour agency and purchase Summit tickets for each of your tour members, or you can work with our tour agency to create and market a custom trip – even if you’ve never led one before.

The following is an excerpt from my interview with Ambassador Huckabee, lightly edited for clarity.

Joel Rosenberg hosts The Rosenberg Report on TBN

ROSENBERG: On April 7, 2027, you have agreed to be one of the keynote speakers at our Epicenter Summit that The Joshua Fund and ALL ISRAEL NEWS will be hosting. We’re hoping for 3,000 Evangelicals and other Christians. In fact, we’d love Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Armenians to come as well. But we’re expecting primarily Evangelicals from the United States, Canada, and all over the world here in Jerusalem.

Our speakers will include Greg Laurie, Skip Heitzig, Anne Graham Lotz, and Jack Graham from Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas. President Herzog has given us a wonderful message of endorsement and, Lord willing, will be able to speak as well.

Why have you agreed to speak? And why is it important to get Christians to come back to Israel? Even if there may be smoke in the air in the coming days, and even if President Trump attacks, that could, I think, clear the way for a more peaceful year – and years – ahead. Why did you say yes?

AMB. MIKE HUCKABEE: It’s an important thing for Christians to come to Israel, to come to the land of the Bible. It’s one thing to read the Bible, as we all love to do. But once you’ve come, you no longer read the Bible in black and white. You read it in 4K color. It’s so vivid. It’s also important to see the land, experience the people, and understand the uniqueness that this little piece of real estate holds.

To get 3,000 believers from all over the world to come will do a couple of things.

One, it will be an incredible encouragement to the people of Israel – to the Jewish people of Israel. This will encourage them that they’re not standing alone and that their Christian friends from all over the world are coming to say, “We’re with you.”

Second, it’s also an incredible opportunity for these believers who come here to return home, speak into their churches, and give testimony of what they have seen and heard.

Joel, I don’t know how many times I’ve said this: the best antidote to antisemitism is for people to come here and see it for themselves. I don’t have to tell you what to think or say. Just come and experience it. Look around. Go back home and tell everybody what you saw. You’ll be fine.

ROSENBERG: Amen. Ambassador Huckabee will be one of the keynote speakers. You can find out more, including about The Joshua Fund tour of Israel itself. We’re also encouraging pastors and ministry leaders of all kinds – all over the country and all over the world – to sign up and bring a tour.

This is a one-day Summit, so you can build an entire tour around it that’s tailored to your specific ministry needs. And we encourage you to do that. As we love to say, “It’s one thing to stand with Israel. It’s another thing to stand in Israel!”

And why are we saying this now, 14 months out? Because it takes time to prepare, plan, and save. So we encourage you to do that. The April 7, 2027, Epicenter Summit – we hope you will join us.
