| Help Support Victims of Terror |
| On our tour, we met with representatives of Hands of Mercy, a broad-based, Israeli Non-Profit Organization serving as an 'outreach' expression of compassion and support to the many individuals and families now suffering from the tragic events of terror, violence, and war. Won't you, please, give to help these victims and their families? |
| Help Fight Back Against Terror |
| On our tour, we were also privileged to hear from the director of Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center, a legal rights institute based in Israel dedicated to providing legal representation and resources for the numerous courtroom struggles which are being waged in the Israeli, American and European courts on behalf of the Jewish State. Striking at the terrorists where they are most vulnerable, in the funding, the Israel Law Center needs your help to continue this expensive, yet effective struggle. |

| Earning the Title |
Today, our tour earned the title: For Zion's Sake.
This morning, in Tel Aviv, we started at the Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. It was also the first building completed in TA.
Later, we went to the Ayalon Institute to see the Haganah underground ammunition factory from the 40's. By underground, I mean that it was beneath the laundry and the bakery.
In the afternoon, we went to Yad La'Shiryon, the armored corps memorial site and museum at Latrun.
Finally, we headed to Kiryat Ye'arim, where the Ark of the Covenant rested after being returned by the Philistines. This was a Holy Place, not just a pleasant spot for our first view of Jerusalem.
From there, like King David, we rose up to Jerusalem, singing.
Finally, after supper, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin spoke to us, giving an inspiring message about one of the most successful measures so far in the fight against terror. It is nice to know someone is hitting the terrorists where it really hurts: in the pocket books. |

| An Unbelieveable Journey |
|
45 Americans - Orthodox Jews, Messianic Jews, Christians, and others - toured Israel from June 4 through June 20, 2006, from the Golan to Be'er Sheva, from Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea, from Hevron to Jerusalem.
This site will hold pictures, memories, impressions, lessons learned, and more. Come along with us, and leave your comments as we journey. |

 - Name: Christopher
Christopher Coleman was born in the US but raised in Central Africa, specifically what was Zaire and is now the Congo, again.
As an adult, Christopher learned of his Jewish heritage, which had been hidden for generations. He also began searching for the Jewish roots of his Christian faith, and eventually joined Adat Yeshua Messianic Congregation.
Although a long time student, and sometimes victim, of foreign affairs and US foreign policy, Christopher assumed there was no point in speaking out until the events of September 11, 2001, made keeping silent impossible. Later that year, he was invited to join Jerry Feldman as co-host of For Zion's Sake, which eventually led to the creation of the For Zion's Sake Blog.
