Zechariah 4:6

Greeting from the President

Welcome to Israel and thank you for coming in this nation’s hour of need. This year’s Envision conference for pastors and ministry leaders has been adapted to serve as a solidarity mission due to the conflict still raging in the Land. Thus, we will be spending more time visiting embattled communities on the frontlines, and less time than usual in the lecture hall. We want you to see and hear first-hand what the Israeli people are going through, and thereby help you to decide how your church or ministry can better stand with Israel at this critical time. No doubt, we also will have some outstanding speakers, including gifted Bible teachers who will help us understand the special place a restored Israel holds in God’s heart. I look forward to this time of learning and fellowship together during Envision 2024.

In Messiah!

Dr Jürgen Bühler
