Huckabee Commissions 1,000-Pastor 'Army' at Ambassador's Summit - CBN NewsWatch - December 8, 2025

JERUSALEM, Israel – After six days, multiple venues, and one finale, the first-ever Ambassador's Summit in Israel commissioned more than one thousand pastors on Sunday to stand with Israel and combat antisemitism.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee explained the heart of the commissioning.

"You're not an ambassador for the State of Israel," he told the pastors. "Nobody is asking you to take on a political role. In fact, I don't recommend it. You've got enough trouble being a pastor. You sure don't need to get into this business. No, I would say you're an Ambassador for Christ, His Kingdom, and His word."

Reverend Johnnie Moore, former director of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, said the gathering marks a defining moment.

"This is an army of pastors, a thousand pastors, the largest group of pastors at one time that has ever come to Israel, specifically for one purpose: to stand in solidarity with the Jewish state and the people of Israel."
