Subject: My Prayers and Encouragement Are With You!

Dear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,

I wanted to Thank You for standing strong in the gap for Israel! As an American Citizen, I have been following
current events, since I know the importance of our relationship with Israel. I have been concerned about how our
Country has been responding to, and communicating with you, in respect to Israel, since I know that Israel is our
best friend in the world as we know it, and always will be! This has not gone unnoticed by the people of the USA...
and as you know...Leaders and representatives are elected into office, and voted out of office, based on how they
represent the American people and how we perceive their ability to represent us properly, at home and abroad!
During these difficult times I am very proud of your strength, in not compromising your faith in God,
concerning Israel's place in the world, in alignment with God's Word ,  just to please other countries requests
... based on their personal world views!

        I just wanted to send you a quick note of encouragement to let you know that the majority of United States Citizens,
are with you in prayers and support, and that "We The People" of the United States of America honor your commitment
to God and encourage you to stand your ground, no matter how many world leaders gather and try to persuade you to
follow their lead.

        I saw you speak once at my church, Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale Florida, and was very impressed with your
knowledge of the Bible and of your understanding of how Christians will always support Israel! I have prayed for you
and your family prior to, and after your becoming Israel's Prime Minister. I'm sure you don't remember, but when our
eyes met for a moment, as you left the stage at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, there was momentary connection
and "knowing look", that communicated in silence to me... that you would be a leader that would protect Israel
in a manner that would honor God, during a time of great difficulties.
 
I'm happy to say that you have not disappointed!

God Bless you, your family and the State of Israel!
