Hagee Ministries Holds 45th Annual Night to Honor Israel

To date, Hagee Ministries has donated more than $135 million to Israeli and Jewish causes

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, Hagee Ministries held its 45^th annual Night to Honor Israel at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio. With thousands in attendance, members of the local Jewish and Christian communities enjoyed a line up featuring Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Founding Pastor of Hagee Ministries and Chairman of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Pastor John Hagee, Rabbi Avraham Scheinberg of Congregation Rodfei Shalom, Consul General of Israel to the Southwest Livia Link-Raviv, and hosted by Executive Pastor of Cornerstone Church, Pastor Matt Hagee.  

During remarks, Pastor John Hagee emphasized the Biblical underpinning of Christian Zionism and rebuked those who argue that the Church has replaced Israel in the eyes of God.

"Israel is the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem Himself." The Jewish people are "chosen and still cherished," Hagee said.

"You cannot defeat what you are unwilling to define; thank you President Trump for defining and combatting antisemitism," he added.

Sen. Cruz likewise expressed his rock-solid support for Israel and his contempt for those who traffic antisemitism.

"Those who hate Israel hate America. Those who hate Jews hate Christians…. Every lunatic terrorist in Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran that Israel took out, made America safer, and the United States of America should say to that little nation, "Thank you," Cruz said.

At the event, Hagee Ministries announced over $2 million in gifts provided by the ministry partners to Jewish and Israeli charities.
