The founder of Africa Bless Israel, Rev Albert Mbenga-Ukulangai, was born in Democratic Republic of Congo but he has lived in Cape Town for the past 12 years. He has a vision to add momentum to the growing movement of Christians whose eyes are being opened to Israel’s importance among the nations of the world, says a pre-launch press release. Rev Mbenga-Ukulangai wants to see the God of Jacob honoured as the Christian community gathers together from the four corners of the continent in a unified stand of solidarity with the nation of Israel, in repentance for past actions against Israel and in the collection of a public offering to bless Israel as referred to in Genesis 12 :1-3

The guest speaker at the launch will be Pastor Umar Mulinde from Uganda, a convert from Islam, who supports the ABI initiative. Mulinde will be accompanied by clergy representatives from various African countries. The Africa Bless Israel song, specially composed by Pastor John Osa for the launch, will be performed by a local choir in different African languages.
There will be a media launch of Africa Bless Israel in Johannesburg on Tuesday, November 25. General inquiries about Africa Bless Israel can be made to info@africablessisrael.org

I pray for this initiative to be blessed by Our Lord God on High.
May your efforts be blessed.
I encourage all these pro-Israel initiatives to express their support for Israel by praying and evangelising Israel in the spirit of Paul’s heart in Romans 10:1-4 “that they may be saved” and put their faith in “Christ who is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes”. Please do not replace this loving desire for their salvation with a political, economic support – which even Israel’s own Prophets could not give independently of Israel’s repentance (e.g Jer 29:11-14)
I have the utmost confidence in this being a raging success. Bless all those involved in this initiative and know that the Lord your God is in control. Good Luck
