 Christians United for Israel hosted a summit on July 8, 2019 in Washington D.C.The summit hosted the founder John Hagee, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US Vice President Mike Pence as speakers.At CUFI's 4th annual convention, CUFI Florida state director Scott Thomas, who is senior pastor at Without Walls Central in Lakeland, Florida, states that CUFI's support of Israel is not related to Christian eschatology (one of the features of dispensationalism, which holds that the modern state of Israel has a central role in bringing about the second coming of Jesus Christ) since Christians believe that there is nothing they can do to speed up that process.
