Christians United for Israel UK is pleased to announce the launch of CUFI Academy.
We are at a defining moment in Britain’s defence of Israel and the Jewish people. The future of the Church’s role in standing with Israel will rest with the next generation – a generation that is surrounded by a culture that is increasingly hostile towards Jews. Our young people are being inundated with a barrage of anti-Israel propaganda on social media and in school and college campuses. We must act urgently.
It is imperative that we reach the next generation of Christians with the truth about Israel. They will be the ones who carry the torch to their generation and be a voice against the shameful rise in antisemitism.
CUFI Academy is needed, and it is needed now. This is why CUFI has developed educational courses that will prepare young people to stand with Israel in the days ahead.
Our desire is to raise future Christian leaders who develop a love for Israel and become effective advocates for Biblical truth. In whatever vocation they pursue, our prayer is that Academy students continue to steadfastly support Israel and stand alongside the Jewish people long after completion, be it in their professional careers, in their churches, and in their homes. Not only will CUFI Academy equip young people for the future, but we believe it will equip young people to protect themselves from the scourge of anti-Israel hatred, and enable them to make a difference in defending Biblical truth among their peers today.
CUFI Academy provides courses to equip young people between 16-25 years of age. This includes The Israel Course – a 13-week in-depth study into the Christian connection with Israel, the history of ancient and modern Israel, contemporary issues affecting Israel, how to prepare for pro-Israel advocacy on campus, and more. Additionally, we have The Holocaust Course – an 8-week study of the darkest chapter in Jewish history and what lessons we can apply when confronting antisemitism today.
Both courses are provided as textbook curriculum produced exclusively by CUFI and are supported by weekly lessons via Zoom. Upon receiving certification, graduates will automatically become CUFI Academy Alumni, providing them with future invitations to CUFI-organised events and opportunities to serve.
Enrolment is now open! We are looking for young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who would be interested in joining the Academy. Do you know anyone who fits that criteria? Please make it known at your church and on your social media (see the prospectus or go to www.cufi.org.uk/Academy). You might also have a family member who you could invite to join.
Will you help us reach the next generation?
If you would like to support CUFI in this new and important initiative, then please consider making a financial gift at www.cufi.org.uk/academydonate. By doing so, you will be sowing into a future legacy of Israel advocacy in the UK.
CUFI is taking this bold step of faith to ensure that young people do not miss out on learning about God’s plan and purpose for Israel. Our prayer is that God will raise up a generation that has a heart to bless Israel and is equipped with the ability to defend Israel. And you can be instrumental in making it happen!
As well as considering supporting this project through a donation, we also ask you to please pray for this initiative. There is a battle for the hearts and minds of our young people. We trust we can count on you to pray for the launch of CUFI Academy and that it will be used to impact the next generation, for Zion’s sake.
Thank you for your support.
