Join us on the National Mall this Oct. 7 to rally and march to honor the heroes of the 10/7 Massacre and remember the hostages in captivity.

We have a vision for a pluralistic Near East based on freedom and the rule of law, where nations, tribes, and religious communities can live beside each other as neighbors.

To get there, we don’t pick sides or settle for easy answers. We develop relationships, explore difficult questions, and work to build a movement of principled, practical Christian engagement.

What we've been up to recently

Marching with Christians for Israel at American Universities

We joined thousands of Christians to stand with the Jewish community in light of antisemitic demonstrations spreading across U.S. campuses.

VIP Delegation to Armenia

In June 2023, we brought a group of influencers and leaders on a fact-finding trip to Armenia to better advocate for Armenians’ security in their ancestral homeland. Now, we are rallying American support in Congress & beyond.

Abraham's Missing Child Initiative

In July 2022, we launched the Abraham’s Missing Child Initiative in Washington D.C, and held our first summit with Near Eastern Christian representatives in Athens, Greece the following month.

Philos Leadership Institute 2022 Cohorts

We traveled to Israel & the United Arab Emirates with two Philos Leadership Institute cohorts in 2022, studying Islam’s impact in the Near East and the region’s choice between religious homogeneity and pluralism.

The Philos Action League

The Philos Action League now has over 2,000 members who have responded to 200+ acts of antisemitism around the country.

Hope in the Holy Land Premiere

We premiered our feature-length documentary, Hope in the Holy Land, in Dallas with producer Justin Kron and narrator Todd Morehead in November, 2021.
