The are getting a lot of attention, but what right has FoZ to make it appear as if they are voicing the sentiments of Israeli Jews? Because this is how unknowing outsiders perceive it.

Who or What Is Foz?

"Friends of Zion" (FoZ) is actually the work of one man - self-described "Christian Zionist" Mike Evans, who has been a missionary for decades. He lays claim to having a "non-practicing Jewish" mother and an "antisemitic" father. He further claims to have had an "encounter" with JC at age 11 and attended a Christian college. He was in on the messianic movement at its beginnings and is fixated on Israel and the future of the Jews.

Jerusalem Prayer Team

Mike Evans began the Jerusalem Prayer Team in 2002, which raised money for Ehud Olmert's New Jerusalem Foundation. Recently, the Jerusalem Prayer Team funded the construction of the Mike Evans Museum in Jerusalem, now officially known as The Friends of Zion Heritage Center. Dr. Evans has been accused of being a Christian missionary due to his past history. In 1977, he headed B'nai Yeshua, a Hebrew Christian group, which was active on college campuses. ... Recent articles continue to simultaneously praise him for his pro-Israel activism but warn of a possible hidden agenda to convert Jews in Israel to Christianity or Hebrew Christian beliefs. (Source)

"...They will gaze into the loving eyes of the Lamb who shed His blood to redeem all of mankind! They will behold the Creator of the Universe in all His glory! Have you ever thought of that? Have you ever considered the reality of the certainty that because you’re washed in the precious blood of Jesus your eyes will behold the pristine glory of the King of all creation?"

"...The return of Christ is near!"

"...That day is coming very soon! As it approaches, keep your eyes on Jerusalem! The City of David is your prophetic timepiece, your periscope into the future to discern just how close we are to that blessed event ...."

Michael David Evans is an evangelist with a burning passion to reach the lost. For more than two decades, he has been conducting revivals and crusades throughout the world. CNN World News, BBC, etc have covered his meetings."

There is no question that this man is a missionary whose heart's desire is to see all the Jews come and bow before "King J*sus," God forbid!! Anything and everything he does in Israel is done with that goal in mind.
