In South Korea Christians comprise about 30 percent of the population. A couple of years ago, in the first event of its kind, thousands of Christians gathered in front of Seoul City Hall to demonstrate their support for Israel.
They vowed “to consistently pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that Israel’s capital will not be divided by others,” and asserted that “God entrusted the stewardship of the land of Israel to the Jewish people,” adding that they “stand along with Jewish and Palestinian people to pursue true peace”.
An Orthodox Jew, David Nekrutman, executive director of the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation, who had been invited to the event by pastors Joseph and Christian Koo, told the gathering:
“I am truly honored to be invited to this historical event and see first-hand a miracle of God that is transforming the hearts of Christians in Korea to advocate for the State of Israel and its people….People like you and others who have personally touched my life have shown me a world where Christians are indeed our ‘Watchmen on the Wall’. The people of Israel appreciate your support. It is the reason why I stand here today in fellowship with you.”
Last year the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) opened an office in South Korea (as well as one in Australia), Chicago-based Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, the IFCJ’s founder and executive director telling the Jerusalem Post:
“Our goal is to deepen Christian bonds with Israel and the Jewish people and allow tangible and meaningful ways for supporters to express their love for Israel.
With offices already in the US and Canada, the IFCJ currently raises more than $90 million a year from Christian supporters for social welfare projects in Israel and other humanitarian projects around the world.
Our goal is to strengthen Christian and Jewish ties around the world and provide supporters of Israel with the vehicles to demonstrate their support….
We recently opened up our new office in South Korea and that is where 80 per cent of our emphasis will be in the coming year….
