On Sunday, which was still Yuntif for many Jews here in the diaspora,

millions of Christians in churches across the United States already were praying for Israel.

And today we have one of the great leaders of that part of Christodom,

which has a respect and a love for the Jewish State.

It's an honor to ask Pastor Greg Laurie,

who is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship,

to share a few words, but I can tell you,

even if he doesn't say one word,

he's already done a lot more than some of us have who is sitting right here.

Greg, would you join us?

Well, that's my honor to be here with you for a few moments today

and stand in solidarity with all of you and for the state of Israel.

Our hearts have all been broken as we've observed this wicked attack against Jewish men, women, and children,

and the elderly by Hamas.

And we pray that this terrorist organization will be stopped once and for all

and that the hostages will be freed.

I do not represent all Christians, I speak for myself,

but I do believe I represent many, if not most, when I say we love the Jewish people,

we love the state of Israel, and we stand by you, and we are against anti-Semitism

in all of its forms wherever it is expressed.

And this, of course, as you all know so well, is not something that is new.

This goes back to the book of Exodus.
