2027 Middle East Advocacy Summit

Global Ministries is proud to sponsor the 2027 Middle East Advocacy Summit, bringing Christians from across the United States together in Washington, D.C., to advocate for a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel.

Rooted in the call of Psalm 146:7–9 to uphold the cause of the oppressed, the three-day summit will equip participants to engage in meaningful advocacy for peace, justice, human rights, and equal dignity for all people in the Holy Land.

Participants will take part in:

  • Inspiring plenary sessions
  • Practical advocacy workshops
  • Worship and fellowship
  • Advocacy training
  • Opportunities to engage directly with policymakers

Together, participants will strengthen a shared Christian witness and prepare to bring a unified call for U.S. foreign policy that advances peace, justice, human rights, and dignity for Palestinians and Israelis.
