Some of those included in CUFI leadership are: George Morrison, Jerry Falwell, Gary Bauer, Steven Strang, Mac & Lynne Hammond, Jesse Duplantis, Benny Hinn, Paul Walker, Billie Joe Daugherty, Billye Brim, Rod Parsley, Larry Huch, Rick Joyner, Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, and many more.
http://www.cfaith.com/PUBLIC/public_article_display/0,7615,17918,00.aspThe CUFI board of directors, by the way, is made up very well-known figures, including Jerry Falwell, Gary Bauer and George Morrison (chairman of the board of Promise Keepers). Other CUFI personalities include Parshall, Rod Parsley, Ron Wexler, Joyce Meyer, and Benny Hinn. In addition to supporting Israel, all of these people are also opposed to feminism and gay rights, and any form of liberalism. Hagee is closely associated with Tom DeLay, Meyer came close to having her ministry investigated by the IRS, and Hinn has been accused of avoiding financial accountability for his faith-healing ministry. Another of their close colleagues, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, is closely associated with both DeLay and Jack Abramoff.
http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2006/08/christian_zioni.htmlMany Christian denominational leaders - who represent some 30 million evangelical Christians in the US - have expressed support for CUFI in writing. These include such names as Dr. Jack Hayford, president of the Foursquare Gospel Church; Paul Walker, assistant general overseer of the Church of God; international Pastor Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church; Benny Hinn; George Morrison; Kenneth Copeland; Steve Strang; Matt Crouch of the Trinity Broadcasting Network; and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, president of the Family Research Council. The latter is the Washington-based lobbying arm of James Dobson's Focus on the Family.

First, a snip on Hagee:Israeli Officials tell U.S. Pastor of “Nuclear Showdown” with Iran
If you want to find out Israel’s policy on Iran, apparently you need to consult a new book by Christian Zionist pastor John Hagee. Christian Retailing reports in its 23 January edition (paper only, page 8, emphasis added):
Texas pastor and author John Hagee has sounded the alarm in his new book on the gathering war against Israel, which he says will have worldwide ramifications.
With an initial printing of 250,000 for its Jan. 17 release, Jerusalem Countdown provides detailed information that Hagee has received from top Israeli government officials concerning a nuclear showdown between Iran and Israel.
…The world is “standing on the brink of a nuclear Armageddon,” Hagee wrote. “We are on a countdown to crisis. The coming nuclear showdown with Iran is a certainty…That war will affect every nation on earth, including America, and will affect every person on planet earth.”
Of course, it’s difficult to judge how much of this Hagee really got from “top Israeli government officials”, and how much is his particular “prophecy based” apocalyptic spin on the subject. It's also a rather odd way for Israeli officials to communicate their intentions; one would have thought that keeping their own citizens informed would have been more of a priority. But on the face of it, it looks rather alarming.
****************************************************************************************************
George Morrison:Key to the end times
In contrast to Haggard's approach at New Life is that of Faith Bible Chapel, a 6,000-member evangelical mega-church in Arvada, a northwest Denver suburb.
Considered the foremost bastion of Christian Zionism along the Colorado Front Range, the church was the first congregation to adopt a settlement through CFOIC. Its Israel ministry, headed by the pastor's wife, Cheryl Morrison, conducts annual trips to the Holy Land and sells fruit baskets and grocery coupons to raise money for its adoptive settlement, Ariel. The church dispatched its own busload of protesters for the anti-Ashrawi rally at CC, where Cheryl Morrison spoke.
Inside the church's spacious atrium is a decorative wall made of stone that the church's pastor, George Morrison, purchased in Jerusalem. Large letters on the wall spell out a line from Psalm 122:6: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." Seven video monitors throughout the atrium likewise urge congregants to pray for Israel.
"It's so key to the End Times," Pastor Morrison says in explaining his church's devotion to the cause. "It's so tied to the culmination, the wrap-up of the world as we know it."
Morrison, whose casual, folksy manner belies his apocalyptic beliefs, already sees signs that the End is approaching. The European Union, he says, might be the alliance of nations that according to prophecy will join the Arabs to wage war against Israel during the final days.
"Great wars will begin to take place," Morrison says in a matter-of-fact voice. "Those wars are going to involve nukes."
The extent of the destruction will prompt Jesus to return in order to stop it, Morrison believes. Unfortunately, he says, many Jews will be killed.
"It's another Holocaust, if you will," Morrison says.

Steven Strang:Hagee’s book is published by Strang, the Pentecostal publisher that is responsible for Charisma magazine (and Christian Retailing itself, as it happens). The owner, Stephen Strang, is a greatly supportive of Christian Zionism, and he uses his powerful position to promote the doctrine among Pentecostals and Charismatics (although Charisma’s editor, Lee Grady, has a rather more thoughtful approach, as I blogged on here). The report also tells us (link added):
…In addition to an aggressive direct-marketing campaign, Strang is teaming up with El Al, the national airline of Israel, to promote Hagee’s new geopolitical book. El Al is offering two trips for two to Israel in a sweepstakes promotion…Strang’s promotion campaign will include the authors in a brochure about Israel featuring scriptural reasons for supporting the country…The campaign will also be featured during the Azuza Street Centennial celebration in Los Angeles, April 25-29.
Dear Friend of Israel:
Israel is under siege as never before. At the same time that suicide bombers are increasing, and world opinion is turning away from Israel, the fanatical president of Iran is calling for Israel to be erased from the face of the map.
John Hagee has focused on these concerns, especially on the threat from Iran in his new book called "Jerusalem Countdown." In only three months this book has sold more than 630,000 copies making it a major bestseller.
Now I am creating a new, free weekly newsletter that is to be sent to those people who love Israel. It will give information about Israel and will include things that we are doing in an effort to try to motivate people into action when action is needed.
I intend to pass along useful information which crosses my desk and share my opinion of current events. I will also give useful information regarding other things that we are publishing, including an important new book by David Brog that is releasing on May 9. The name of the book is "Standing With Israel." David is a Conservative Jew who for seven years was chief of staff for Senator Arlen Specter. He writes convincingly that evangelical Christians are Israel's best friends.
http://www.standingwithisrael.net/Because of the mounting threats to Israel, we don't have a minute to waste. Israel is going to need our support in the coming months, and we must do everything we can to make CUFI a major political force before we are called into action.
http://www.charismamag.com/display.php?id=13065In 1973 Steve Strang, a senior in journalism at UF, walked off with the Hearst Foundation’s top national journalism writing award. Twenty-five years later—he heads a communications company that the Orlando Business Journal lists as #70 in its “Golden 100” in central Florida, and with annual revenue of $24 million.
~snip~
Just three days after he graduated, Strang joined The Orlando Sentinel as an admittedly “cocky reporter.” He says his editors cured him of that in a hurry. While at the Sentinel, Strang began moonlighting as editor of Charisma, a new magazine he helped start at the Assembly of God church he attended. In 1981, he and his wife, Joy, bought the magazine from the church.
Today—Strang Communications not only publishes Charisma, which has grown to a 250,000-circulation monthly, but five other magazines. They include:
Vida Cristiana, a bi-monthly version of Charisma in Spanish, with a circulation of 25,000;
Ministries Today, a bi-monthly targeted for ministers and staff in churches;
Christian Retailing, a bi-monthly which goes to Christian bookstores;
New Man, a 300,000-circulation magazine that was developed in association with (but is independent of) the Promise Keepers organization (with whom Strang had a three-year marketing agreement); and
Spirit-Led Woman, the newest publication, with a circulation of 85,000 (credit Joy for its inspiration and success).
The company also includes Creation House, which publishes religious books and Christian education materials.
And Strang is host of “Charisma Now!”—a 30-minute TV program aired on cable by the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
And the company has a presence on the Internet.
The crown jewel of his operation is still Charisma, an award-winning magazine which appeals to a core readership of charismatic and Pentecostal Christians, but attracts other evangelical readers.
Strang Communications is a family affair. Joy, who earned a degree in finance at the University of Central Florida, has been the chief financial officer of the company since 1981. They have two sons—Cameron, 22, a recent graduate of Oral Roberts University who is an editor in Nashville; and Chandler, 11, a middle-schooler. Ever the entrepreneur and networker, Strang was off to Seoul, Korea, in September for the Pentecostal World Conference. One stop on his trip was Japan, where he hoped to promote a Japanese version of Charisma.

Rick Joyner:Joint Prophecies of Rick Joyner & Rabbi Cohen
at Messiah'99
Hashivenu.org is a Messianic Jewish organization located on the campus of Fuller Theological Seminary. Its president, Stuart Dauermann, a doctoral student and teacher at Fuller, was also a past speaker at the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism (LCJE). The first "'Core Principle of Hashivenu" states: "Messianic Judaism is a Judaism, and not a cosmetically altered 'Jewish-style' version of what is extant in the wider Christian community." Among Hashivenu's "Favorite Links" is listed The Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA).
In July of 1999, the MJAA sponsored Messiah'99, a conference held in conjunction with the Young Messianic Jewish Alliance and the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues. The Messiah '99 Brochure announced that conference speakers would include Rick Joyner of Morning Star Ministries, Stephen Strang, editor of ‘Charisma’ Magazine and Stephen Katz, a recruiter for Jews for Jesus. These speakers were presented as being among "Over sixty of Messianic Judaism's most respected teachers conducting Workshops, Panels, Teaching, Preaching. . ."
In a joint presentation to Messiah '99, MJAA President Rabbi Robert Cohen and Rick Joyner of MorningStar Ministries laid out a prophetic vision for the Messianic Jewish Movement. Highlights of the Prophecies given by Rick Joyner and Rabbi Cohen are as follows:
:redbox: The 1970s, when Jerusalem returned to Jewish hands, was the end of the Gentile Age.
:redbox: The 1990s are moving on the spirit of revival that began with the Jesus Movement, which was the source of the Messianic movement.
:redbox: The Messianic people are a prophetic righteous remnant, "that are calling the Church back to their Jewish roots" and "they are back to become a prophetic call to the nation of Israel."
:redbox: Messianic people are, "THE HEAD," meaning, of the Body of Christ and the First Fruits.
:redbox: Whole communities will come to Y’eshua because of their witness.
:redbox: Jews and Gentiles will be looking to the Messianics to explain the Word of God.
:redbox: Joyner expressed a concern that Messianics: ". . .would not be corrupted by too many relationships with the Church" and that they are not supposed to be like the Church nor the Church like them as that would, "mess everything up."
:redbox: Racism is one of the ultimate enemies.
:redbox: There is a revolution going on in the Church.
:redbox: Reconciliation happens when there is restitution, and there’s going to be a lot of restitution for the Messianic people as Jews.
:redbox: Messianic people will have a better ability to witness, heal, discern and utilize spiritual gifts than others.
:redbox: Messianics are going to help us (the Church) restore our foundations to where they belong -- and we won’t get where we’re supposed to be without their help.
Rick Joyner, whom Rabbi Cohen considers a friend and a "righteous Gentile," was informed that he was the first Gentile ever to speak at their conference. Joyner, who is also a Knight of the Order of Malta,1 which Joyner states is not a Masonic Order, associates with other modern prophets like James Ryle of Promise Keepers (pastor of Bill McCartney), Andrew Strom, Jack Deere, Francis Frangipane, Dudley Hall, Mike Bickle, Bob Jones, Paul Cain and others who were involved with the original "Kansas City Prophets", the Vineyard, and the Charismatic movement. The End Time Prophetic Visions website provides a current listing of modern prophets which includes all of the above along with Messianic and Catholic prophetic organizations.

Billye Brim: Billye Brim was born again at the age of eight in 1947 and was brought up to love God and His Word. After her initial in-filling of the Holy Spirit in 1967, she began the journey of fulfilling the call of God on her life.
Billye served as editor of publications for Kenneth Hagin Ministries from 1970 to 1980, as well as editing books for several other well-known Bible teachers including Dr. Lester Sumrall. In 1972 she began ministering regularly at her local church in Collinsville, Oklahoma. In 1980 she began traveling full time both nationally and internationally, with her focal points in Scandinavia and Europe. She has also ministered seven times in the Soviet Union.
After the homegoing of her husband in 1986, the Lord led Billye to study Hebrew in Israel. Working primarily through a Jewish ulpan (special language school), she takes Christians to Israel at least twice a year to see modern-day Israel through Jewish eyes. Bible prophecy is an important part of Billye's teaching. Billye is a frequent conference speaker (numerous times at Brother Kenneth Copeland's Believers Conventions) and ministers in churches, Bible schools, family camps, and on television. The emphasis of her ministry is on the Glory of God and His Glorious Church. She truly loves the Body of Christ and desires to see it become the Glorious Church Jesus promised to receive unto Himself.

ROD PARSLEY:THE RAGING PROPHET
It is hard to describe a “worship service” led by pastor and television evangelist Rod Parsley. Whether viewing at home by way of his popular daily television broadcast, Breakthrough, or as part of his 12,000-member congregation, his services could, perhaps, be described as a hybrid of pep rally, boxing match and professional wrestling with smatterings of Bible verses and hyped-up claims that take people over the edge of hysteria. It is primal scream set to spiritual aerobics. Parsley is the ultimate cheerleader and professional boxer combined. He deftly and quickly moves people into altered states of unreality. There is no question that he can be a compelling and convincing speaker. Neither does he have difficulty or qualms about hosting the worst of Word-Faith teachers and promoting their agendas.
Rodney Lee Parsley charges back and forth across the stage of his World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio, sweating profusely, railing against the devil in a demonstration of heart-pounding Christian calisthenics and his crowds love it.
~snip~
Even his Charismatic colleagues acknowledge his showman traits. Charisma, in its cover story, called him the “electric evangelist” and described him this way:
“Part warrior, part cheerleader ... Parsley’s growing congregation and nationwide audience have come to expect both sass and savvy from this entertaining preacher. ... And he’s not afraid of shock-value preaching. ... Parsley appears to be a good showman.”1
~snip~
Parsley tells his people they should believe for millions. He makes no apology for being mercenary:
“Parsley is upfront with his congregation about the church’s need for money. ‘I just love to talk about money,’ he told them. ‘I just love to talk about your money. Let me be very clear — I want your money. I deserve it. This church deserves it.’”16
~snip~
Parsley is also a dominionist. This too, grows out of the Word-Faith error. Dominionism teaches that powerful anointed men will bring in all the benefits (healings and miracles) of the millennium, creating a Utopia to which Christ will return. Somehow they will reverse the consequences of the Fall and totally subdue disease and the hard circumstances of life.
http://www.pfo.org/parsley.htmIssue Date: 11.10.05 When Zell Miller took the stage at one of Ohio’s largest “megachurches” last August, there was no talk of spitballs or duels, but there was plenty of rhetoric about soldiers and war. As the featured speaker at both a regular Sunday-evening church service and a political rally for about 1,300 pastors the following morning, the former Georgia senator wasn’t talking about gun-toting soldiers bringing democracy to the Middle East. Instead, to the delight of thousands of congregants at the World Harvest Church in Columbus, Miller spoke of Bible-toting Christian soldiers bringing theocracy to America.
The apostate Democrat came to Ohio as the special guest of televangelist Rod Parsley, a rising star of the Christian right who was lifted from political obscurity onto the national stage for his role in mobilizing voters in favor of his state’s gay-marriage ban last year. Parsley, a Bible-college dropout who claims to have begun his evangelical career in his parents’ backyard by preaching to a tiny congregation nearly 20 years ago, now boasts a 12,000-member church with affiliated schools offering education from preschool through college; a daily television program, Breakthrough, seen on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and other fundamentalist-Christian television outlets; a 2,000-member fellowship of affiliated churches; and a political organization, the Orwellian-sounding Center for Moral Clarity. But Parsley, who is hailed by the theocratic Christian right as a model of virtue and a representative of “values voters,” has been questioned by congregants and even his own family about his church governance and secretive fund-raising practices.
“Probably President Bush would not be in office today had it not been for him,” said Bishop Harry Jackson, a black pastor from the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a fellow rising star in the religious right. A registered Democrat who said that he and Parsley share the same theological and political viewpoint, Jackson runs the High Impact Leadership Coalition, which promotes its “Black Contract With America on Moral Values.” That effort has led Jackson into alliance with the Arlington Group, a coalition of the Christian-right political elite with which Parsley is also affiliated. According to Jackson, Parsley’s style of preaching is “very, very user-friendly to African Americans,” which may explain why the white pastor has a congregation that is 40-percent black. Jackson also maintained that Parsley’s work with Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, as a “black and white team” campaigning for the gay-marriage ban in churches across Ohio, created the “ricochet effect” of bringing out voters for George W. Bush in 2004.
Jackson was careful to point out that Parsley did not explicitly campaign for Bush, which would have jeopardized his church’s tax-exempt status. But that was something Parsley clearly wanted to do in light of his $2,000 contribution to the Bush-Cheney campaign and his outspoken contempt for the Internal Revenue Service rules that prohibit clergy from endorsing candidates. His tag-team campaign for the gay-marriage ban with Blackwell -- who was not only the state co-chair of the Bush-Cheney re-election effort but also supervised the election as secretary of state -- certainly provided support to Bush. Now, through campaign contributions and joint public appearances, Parsley is supporting Blackwell’s bid to become the Republican gubernatorial nominee in 2006.
http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewPrint&articleId=10473Now, Christian evangelical ministers in Ohio are teaming-up to form a network intent on building on their constituency's extensive contribution to both President Bush's victory and the passage of Issue 1 -- an amendment to the state constitution banning same-sex marriage -- and help Christian conservatives take over the state's Republican Party. The Reverend Rod Parsley and the Rev. Russell Johnson are two key players in an effort to wrest control of the GOP from so-called Party moderates. Their job has no doubt been made easier by the fact that Republican Party officials have been enmeshed in a series of political scandals that even includes the state's Republican Governor, Bob Taft. (For more on the governor's troubles, see, MoveOnTaft.org, a website recently jointly established by the conservative American Policy Roundtable and the liberal Ohio Citizen Action).
Americans must be ''Christocrats" -- citizens of both their country and the Kingdom of God -- the Reverend Rod Parsley told his congregation on a recent Sunday at his World Harvest Church, located just outside Columbus, Ohio. "And that is not a democracy; that is a theocracy," he said. "That means God is in control, and you are not."
~snip~
The Ohio Restoration Project
In late March, the New York Times reported that the newly established Ohio Restoration Project (ORP) was "planning to mobilize 2,000 evangelical, Baptist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic leaders in a network of so-called Patriot Pastors to register half a million new voters, enlist activists, train candidates and endorse conservative causes in the next year."
~snip~
While the ORP plan says that it will not specifically endorse candidates, it will invite Blackwell to speak at pastoral meetings and to a statewide Ohio for Jesus rally scheduled for next spring. Along with the homegrown Rev. Parsley, other national Christian evangelical leaders to be invited include the Rev. Franklin Graham, Focus on the Family's Dr. James Dobson and the Prison Fellowship Ministries Charles Colson.

by Marley Greiner
July 20, 2005
The spring of 2005 has been a banner for Columbus' tele-revivialist cum spiritual adviser to the Republican Party, Rod Parsley, Pastor of World Harvest Church in Canal Winchester; interviews in James Dobson's daily online news commentary Citizen Link and Chuck Colson's Breakpoint; features in Charisma Magazine, the Scaife owned Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Columbus Dispatch, the Other Paper and the Newark Advocate; and citations in the New York Times and Dallas Morning News.
Also, there was the op-ed in the Charlotte Observer and the photo-ops with Sen. Sam Brownback. He was hobnobbing with old friends Ken Blackwell, Cincinnati moral crusader Phil Burress, former Ohio Congressman, Bob McEwen, former Alabama Supreme Justice Roy Moore, Texas Governor Rick Perry, and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. Let's not forget his Center for Moral Clarity, the Ohio Restoration Project, and his Patriot Pastors. And, of course, the launch of his 12-city Silent No More book tour at World Harvest on April 16 which brought to town rightwing writer and TV starlet Ann Coulter, Christian insult comedian Brad Stine, and another old friend, former UN Ambassador, presidential candidate, and recreational mosher Allen Keyes.

The guy behind me asked several times, "Have you ever seen a church like this?"
~snip~
Rod Parsley has always had an image problem. He's the pastor of one of the largest churches in Central Ohio. He runs a Bible College, a prep school, and the Center for Moral Clarity, a "political ministry" that sponsored the book launch, rally and other events of a political nature. He takes his crusades all over the country and overseas; he's got an international viewing audience. He hangs out with nationally known politicians, advises Ken Blackwell....

Larry Huch:Thousands of Evangelical Christians have met to lobby Congress on behalf of Israel. The five-month old group, called Christians United for Israel, is the Christian equivalent to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Public Action Committee (AIPAC) and intends to work with the Jewish lobby.
Israeli Ambassador to Washington Danny Ayalon addressed the convention and warned them that "Islam-fascism" endangers the United States as well as Israel. Christian speakers were blunt and harsh in condemning Arab leaders. "We will not turn the other cheek,” said Larry Huch, a Texas pastor and one of the numerous regional directors of Christians United for Israel who spoke. “We will stand with Israel.

Kenneth & Gloria Copeland:Kenneth Copeland was a guest on Benny Hinn’s January 28, 2004 broadcast This is Your Day telecast. Hinn says the lord has a word for you today. Copeland thanks Hinn for continuing in the healing ministry. Benny Hinn asked Kenneth Copeland what he sees happening in 2004. In turn, Copeland responds by reading his prophecy, to which Hinn says, “Amen“: “Right now the healing ministry of Jesus is coming into a place that no human beings has seen before. And it, we’ all going to be glad we stayed where he put us because this is our time” (Benny Hinn- Amen). (This is a Prophecy delivered by Kenneth Copeland at Eagle Mountain International Church December 31, 2000) Complete prophecy at
http://kcm.org/studycenter/prophecies/2004_yearoffullness.phpCopeland continues: “The lord began talking to me about fullness of ministry and fullness of his callings and so forth oh 25 years go, but then in late November and all the way up to new years eve, and I had a visitation of the Lord new years eve afternoon, he began to talk to me about this year, and if you, you permit me I’ll read you what he said to me, Hinn responds please:
“ the year of 2004 will be known as the year of fullness. By the close of 2004, all callings will come to fullness. Apostles ministry, prophets ministry, evangelist ministry, pastoral ministries and teaching ministries that will obey me will come into full manifestation. The gifts of the spirit will be manifested in fulness as they were when Jesus was on the earth.” (Copeland says, “We’ve not seen that, we've seen little pieces of it but not like this”)... “Families will come into their called places and know the fullness of joy on earth as it is in heaven.”
If this is true, who needs heaven? Jesus said the very opposite for the last days, and spoke of perilous times, apostasy, the love of many growing cold, and itching ears that do not want to hear the truth but what they want to hear. The only time we will see this fullness is in the Millennium, but first comes the Great tribulation.
So according to God speaking to Copeland The gifts of the spirit will be manifested in fulness as they were when Jesus was on the earth. We will see all healings, all the gifts will be working at their height beyond what we saw with the apostles by those ministries like Copeland's. Blind eyes, legs growing out, resurrections taking place, multiplication of food for thousands to be fed by what would feed only a few is what people saw when Jesus was on earth; this he says will ALL take place in 2004.
