How do pro-israel american christians help the settlements?

I'm American, and I'm a Born Again Christian Evangelical - we are all usually Pro-Israel and want to support the Jewish People and their retention of the Land of Israel as their own land. Right now we do not have a president that supports Israel, so Jews must appeal to our Churches which are Pro-Israel instead - that is where the strength and numbers are, as well as the money. We want to support you and are deeply embarrassed about Obama's obvious support of Islam's take-over of YOUR land.  This sentiment does not mean we want to bring harm to innocent, peaceful Palistinians who also want to dwell in peace. This is not a political problem, by the way - we know that it is because of the Abrahamic history of Sarah and Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac. Hagar was ordered by G-d to "live in Abraham's tent in peace" - not war, beneath Sarah, in obedience and friendship.  As the older brother to Isaac, Ishmael's descendents have a responsibility to help the descendents of Isaac - therefore the Islamic world needs to reach out and restore Isaac's descendents and help them, not bring Isaac or his descendents harm.  The Arab world is very large and rich - surely they can part with the small parcel of land given to the Jews, and do it as a gift to their younger brother, whom they should love and support, not hate and dispise.  It is the descendents of Hagar who are guests in 'your' tent, and not vice-versa.  Further, we also have learned that the real boundaries of Israel - the land as G-d gave it to you, Israel, is much larger than what you currently call Israel.  We believe Israel will eventually be fully restored to it's full land occupation as defined in the Torah.  But please encourage your Prime Ministers to stop giving away your land to make peace.  Any American President who suggests this must be ignored, including Obama.  We Christians have been graciously adopted into your Abrahamic family, and are just glad to have such a place to call 'home' spiritually.   If we don't support you, Israel, we will have no spiritual home, no religious roots at all.  We want to continue to support you. As individuals, however, we are scratching our heads about how to help you - "What can "I" do?" Is there a place to send money? Is there a settlement/s that need assistance where we can send help? Please announce such ways in which we can help these settlements through organizations like John Hagee Ministrees out of San Antonio, Rabbi Yechiel Epstein's ministry to Jews and Christians, and Perry Stone Ministries out of Tenessee- many of us watch these Pro-Israel Preachers here in America in order to learn about the Jewish roots of our faith, and learn to support Israel; and that would be a good place for us to receive instructions on how to help your cause. Most of us will gladly open up the check book to send money and support of other kinds if we know where to send it.  Perhaps the Settlements need to select leaders to make video Ads for American Television and Google Video, appealing to the American People as well as the world to receive financial assistance in their cause.  Perhaps Churches will "adopt" Jewish Settlements and support them on an individual settlement basis.  You are our family and we love you! We just want you to be, to be in your land, and to be there in peace, and fullness, including rebuilding the Jerusalem Temple and having posession of it.  Shalom! Thank you, Cynthia, TX

Hi OronD, I am so touched to hear from you;  I want you to know that I am sincere in my love for Israel, and for the Jews, and for you too!  We have to take care of you, you are a special treasure.  I pray for The Jews and for Israel often, and I will pray for you personally too;  I have learned all about the Hebrew Festivals as much as I can, and celebrate them to the best of my ability, even though I do not know the rules.  I hope that some day the Jews can look upon Christians as the Lost 10 Tribes returning home to you, and that the Christians will recognize that this is where we belong, with you as our family.  We may be continents and countries apart, but our heart belongs to you, and we love you very much!  I wish I had more power to help you, but I'm only a mom and a housewife.  Anyway, know that you are being prayed for by many Christians in America - we are not ignoring you at all, we bring your problems before your G-d, whom you have taught us about.  Thank you so much for just being you.  Pure and True is our love for Israel!  My love goes to you also, OronD!  Sincerely, Cynthia Smile

Hi OronD - wow, now you are making me cry!  I would love to visit Israel, that would be a dream come true - that you would take time to light a candle for me is just wonderful - almost like I am there in spirit - thank you so much for doing that! Wow.  Thank you so much, and for your prayers.  Please pray that I have success for teaching the Jewish/Hebrew festivals to my friends - I am hoping to teach a small class on this subject in September (this fall) at my home.  You may not realize this, but Christianity reads the Tanach and it is the same book you read, only we call it the "old" testament, which is actually not the right name for it - but it is very hard for us to understand.  I only know a little bit about the subject of Jewish/Hebraic Festivals, and it is very difficult to learn about a different holiday system, but I am going to try anyway.  I was in a group for a little while that taught these type of lessons and they also taught us "Simcha" dancing, which is very fun!  You are right about water - one drop, or a whole storm.  I will keep on working to tell people that we are a family of believers together under G-d.  A little about myself - I am a married mom, 44 years old, with 3 children, ages 14, 17, and 24.  My husband is a very hard worker, doing taxes. I live in a City named Katy, which is the west part of Houston, Texas USA.  I read about the recipe "shakshouka" on the Israeli government websight and I make that often.  I am so glad I know you, you are the best!  You are much braver than I am, as you live in a country that has dangers I could not imagine.  I will pray for your safety and well being every day.  May you and your family be well and safe!  True and pure love OronD.  Friendship across the miles, Cynthia Smile

Search on the Internet for the "ONE Jerusalem" organisation. They are fighting for your goals, Christians and Jews alike, and there you can also donate, but also tie some contacts to support your personal sub-goals or projects.

www.onejerusalem.org

You know what, I am gonna go to www.onejerusalem.org and tell my friends here in the USA to do it too.  It just kills me to watch Israel give away land...we would NEVER barter the state of Georga or Tenesee or Texas for political reasons...that just would not happen here.  It's an outrageous idea to give away part of your country.  I can not imagine that.
