WELCOME TO ENVISION
Pastors and Leaders Conference 2025

by the Spirit
Zechariah 4:6
Greeting from the President
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Israel and thank you for joining us at our Envision 2025 conference for pastors and ministry leaders.
This gathering comes as Israel seeks to recover and rebuild after more than a year of war. This intense conflict also has spawned waves of antisemitism worldwide. A whole new generation of Christians are trying to understand what this long-standing dispute over Israel’s return is all about, especially from a biblical perspective.
Envision 2025 will take you to the front lines of battle and offer first-hand accounts of what the Israeli people have been facing. We also will look at the spiritual battle being waged behind the scenes concerning the redemptive destiny of Israel. We trust this will equip you to better explain the immense prophetic significance of Israel’s restoration in our day.
I look forward to our time of fellowship and enrichment together.
In Christ!
Dr Jürgen Bühler
