Evangelical Leaders from 18 Nations Arrive on Historic Eagles’ Wings Advocacy Mission

More than 140 evangelical Christian leaders from 18 countries arrived in Israel this week for direct briefings on the war against Hamas, humanitarian policies, and the coordinated international campaign against the Jewish state. The delegation, organized by Eagles’ Wings, represents the largest pastoral mission the organization has ever brought to Israel, coinciding with the 2025 Ambassador Summit that gathered 1,000 pastors in Jerusalem.

The timing is deliberate. As Christian support for Israel declines globally, Eagles’ Wings founder Bishop Robert Stearns warns that Israel faces a strategic crisis that demands immediate action. According to Stearns and Israeli officials, addressing this crisis lies in providing Christian representatives with direct exposure to the reality on the ground. 

The delegation includes Brazilian women influencers with a combined reach of 35 million followers, European delegations from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy, pastors from Japan, Christian leaders from Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda, and influential community leaders from India reaching millions.

During meetings with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Knesset Member and former IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, and Energy Minister Eli Cohen, participants heard firsthand accounts of the difficult decisions required to protect Israeli civilians while combating Hamas terrorists.

“Evangelical Christian support for Israel is more vital than ever, as the Jewish state stands at a pivotal moment, defending its place in the region and around the world amid a rising anti-Israel and anti-Semitic wave,” Saar said during his meeting with Bishop Stearns. “Eagles’ Wings is undertaking essential work by bringing the next generation of Christian leaders to Israel to witness the truth firsthand.”

Gantz provided insight into the complex balance between military necessity and humanitarian considerations throughout the war. The delegation met with decision-makers grappling with life-or-death dilemmas, and participants expressed their commitment to share what they learned with their congregations.

A particularly moving encounter occurred with Sheikh Muwaffaq Tarif, spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel. The Sheikh described the severe persecution suffered by Druze and other minorities in Syria. Eagles’ Wings pledged financial support to the Druze community in response, demonstrating Christian-Druze solidarity. The delegates learned about Israel’s longstanding protection of minority groups, information that many found surprising.

Bishop Stearns addressed the urgency directly: “Eagles’ Wings is committed to connecting the next generation of Christian leaders to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. If we do not act now, Israel risks losing the historic and consequential support of Christians who have long championed the Jewish state on the global stage.”

The organization has already brought 22 delegations from more than 50 nations to Israel in the past two years since the October 7 Hamas massacre. Major Jewish philanthropists have recently urged increased investment in Eagles’ Wings to continue strengthening the bridge between Israel and Christian communities worldwide.

Founded in the early 1990s by Bishop Robert Stearns after he volunteered at the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, Eagles’ Wings has evolved into a global movement connecting Christianity with Israel and Judaism. The organization co-founded the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, the largest Christian Zionist event, with participation from congregants in 200,000 churches across 175 nations.

As Israel faces what participants describe as a coordinated global campaign to undermine its international standing, this mission represents a counter-offensive in the battle for evangelical hearts and minds. The stakes are clear: without sustained Christian support, Israel loses a critical pillar of international backing at a moment when the Jewish state can least afford it.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
