Jerusalem Channel

llowing year, 1976, brought Israel to the world's attention with the hijacking of a flight from Tel Aviv to Paris that ended up in Entebbe, Uganda. Israeli commandos, led by the brother of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, made a dramatic rescue of the passengers on July 4th, the 200th anniversary of US independence. Christine, an award-winning newspaper journalist, was in Tel Aviv to interview some of the Israeli hostages. Through these early experiences, the Dargs began to understand contemporary Israelis and their struggle to survive against a violent and hostile world. At the same time, London-born Peter Darg was completing his studies in the USA at a theological seminary to achieve a deeper comprehension of the Biblical side of Israel's extraordinary history and how God had singled out the Jewish people to be a nation of priests and a light to the nations. Christine's earliest childhood memory was a visitation from Jesus during a life-threatening illness. His appearance in an open vision to heal her was not a Sunday school image of a meek Gentile, but a man of clearly semitic, Mideastern features. Growing up in America, Christine's godly parents taught her deep roots in the Old Testament and an undeniable connection with the Jewish people. The Dargs' call to Israel was confirmed in 1978 when they were selected by the Christian Broadcasting Network to open a news bureau for the TV ministry in Jerusalem. Their work and raising a young family in Israel would be an opportunity to meet Arabs, Jews and Christians within the country and beyond with trips to worn-torn Beirut, Amman, Damascus and into the Gulf states. Jerusalem would always be the base for what became a principle of the burgeoning Exploits Ministry, to be the Lord's witnesses first in Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Today, Exploits reaches globally out of Jerusalem to all nations. We hold major Gospel campaigns and Bible Workers Convocations in many nations as well as annual prayer convocations in Israel. "The people who know their God will be strong and carry out exploits."
