Jan 6 South River, NJ Pastor’s Lunch
Our first ever CUFI National Hispanic Outreach Pastors & Leaders Dinner in South River, New Jersey was held on Saturday, January 6, 2018. Although horrible weather attempted to negatively impact this gathering, that indeed was not the case since at least 45 Hispanic Pastors and Leaders from at least 9 congregations in cities as far North as Wayne and as far south as Vineland attended this historic event. Our Host Pastor, Rev. Neftali Cruz, and Host Church, Iglesia Jesucristo Es El Señor, who by the way hosted a Spanish Standing With Israel event just the night before, went above and beyond in decorating their fellowship hall with banners, colors, and more in honor of Israel. The fact that their church facility was originally a Jewish Synagogue built in the 1950’s was extra special for this event. Additionally, this event was extra special due to several Pastors and Leaders extending invitations to CUFI to have events in their churches in the next couple of months and also be part of some of their international radio programing and an annual church conference. Hispanic Pastors and Leaders also became members of CUFI, joined our Daughters For Zion Prayer Network, and gave an offering to our CUFI On Campus efforts. All in all, these Pastors and Leaders were greatly impacted for Israel, and now they desire to help us make a great impact on other ministers for the sake of Israel!
