As part of the UK conference season, we held meetings in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the principal cities of Scotland.  Our Christian conference took place in a church in Edinburgh and, through God appointed connections, we met the following day in an ancient, beautiful synagogue in Glasgow.

Our keynote speaker at both events was Liz Hirsh Naftali.  Liz is a Jewish lady who has become a major international advocate for the hostages.  Her great-niece, Abigail, was the young three-year-old child kidnapped by Hamas after they had murdered her father and mother. The story literally reduced people to tears. 

We have a wonderful UK worship team called Sisu (meaning ‘rejoice’ in Hebrew) and we were blessed with anointed music all weekend. 

In Edinburgh, our UK prayer coordinators, Gordon and Karen Beattie asked me if I realised how many nations were represented in our gathering? People came because they had heard of ICEJ, and our godly reputation is worldwide. We invited people to pray for their nation and Israel.

With prayer from the UK, Paraguay, China, Ukraine, Poland, France plus others representing Estonia, Nigeria, West Indies and America, it was indeed an INTERNATIONAL Christian Embassy meeting.

Take a look at the gallery and comments below.

On the following day our joint meeting with Glasgow Friends of Israel, was held in the Garnethill synagogue. Liz spoke movingly about the hostages.  The Jewish people were amazed at the video on our aid projects and all that ICEJ stands for.

Here are some comments from the Jewish leaders:

As chair of Glasgow Friends of Israel, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to ICEJ and everyone involved in that most wonderful event. The presence of ICEJ in Glasgow was immensely welcome and deeply meaningful to our Jewish community. I would like to express my gratitude for ICEJ‘s support for the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and for Israel’s right to exist in peace and security. Sammy Stein.

It was a delight to welcome ICEJ to our synagogue in Glasgow for the ‘Standing Together’ programme. Thank you for the opportunity to work with such a fine organisation. We look forward to future events. Susan Siegel.
