The #Israel Matters campaign revolves around a modular display of 14 retractable stands of colorful panels, each seven feet high, which collectively tell Israel’s story through photographs and basic facts. The displays highlight significant issues and topics regarding Israel, the conflict, and Israel’s achievements and advancements in various fields like technology and the environment. The traveling display is available to students and communities to display it at local events, combat anti-Israel propaganda, and promote Israel locally. The StandWithUs displays are currently being used on campuses and in churches, synagogues and Jewish Federations throughout North America, Australia, and South Africa.

We are having a “Why Israel Matters” conference at Flint River Baptist Church, in Huntsville Alabama. We have invited all pastors in the greater Huntsville area to attend with their congregations. Our goal is to educate pastors and citizens in North Alabama about Israel. We are a Southern Baptist Church and we desire to be a conduit of love and support for Israel, based on God’s Scriptures concerning Israel and modern day truth concerning the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The Southern Baptist annual convention,2016, recently passed a resolution in support of Israel. One pastor said that most Baptist pastors may support Israel, yet they don’t understand why. Without the knowledge of “why”, we believe many will succumb to anti-Israel propaganda and allow Muslim/Palestinian outreach concerns trump support of Israel. So, with that long explanation, we would be interested in a display for the conference, which is Sunday, September 18, 2016. This request may come too late to enable us to use the display, but you may be able to give us other visual ideas that would be beneficial at the conference.
