I had the privilege of speaking with Cornelis Kant, a devoted Christian supporter of Israel from the Netherlands. With a background as a pastor and a deep-rooted love for Israel, Cornelis shared his personal journey with Israel and shed light on the complex topic of Christian attitudes toward the Jewish state. Join me as we explore his unique perspective and gain insights into the spiritual and historical factors that have shaped his passion for Israel.

A calling discovered

Cornelis recounted his early years and his mother’s profound interest in Israel, and her involvement in prayer groups and Bible studies. While growing up, he observed her love for the Jewish people, which left a lasting impression on his heart. As he pursued his theological studies, his desire to understand God’s calling for his life intensified. This curiosity led him to embark on a trip to Israel with a group of pastors, an experience that greatly impacted him and set him on a path to study and eventually teach about Israel.
