ABOUT US
The above quote from a man in Israel
tells it all. There is a hunger in Israel from both Jews and Arabs
for a living relationship with God. Their hunger has often been
kindled as they have met living Christians as they visit the Holy
Land. Since 1970 Dr. Gerald Derstine has had a
driving vision for Israel and has since then taken groups over to the
Holy Land over 50 times! The events of those trips are now the
subject of books like “Fire Over Israel” as God used Dr. Derstine
in a awesome way. I.A.I. (Israel Affairs International) was born out of
his compelling love for these people. This was to be an organization
for blessing and practically helping all the people of Israel.
One of the most remarkable events of this
ministry was when Dr. Derstine met with the Samaritan High Priest
who became a believer of Jesus! I.A.I. has been able to live Christianity in a
personal level at places where normally Christians are not invited
to go. Examples of this is sharing in high schools both in Jewish,
Arab and even Bedouin (a first!) and even marched in a Jewish parade
near Galilee to become a part of that city’s holiday celebrations,
a first for Christians in that city.
