Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Yerushalayim and a longtime evangelical supporter of President Donald Trump, has launched a new billboard campaign across Israel displaying the message: “Thank You God & Donald Trump!”

Evans said the nationwide initiative was created to express appreciation for what he views as a pivotal moment in the region during the ongoing war involving Israel, the United States, and Iran.

Large billboards featuring an image of President Trump have been installed along major roadways and busy intersections in Yerushalayim and Tel Aviv.

“This is nothing less than a Purim miracle,” Evans said. “The courage and leadership shown by President Trump, combined with the faith of millions who believe in God’s protection over Israel, are changing the course of history in the Middle East. Many believe the events unfolding in Iran could ultimately bring freedom to the Persian people and greater security for the Jewish people in Israel.”

Evans traveled to Israel on Thursday, February 26, arriving just two days before hostilities began. He said he was the only prominent evangelical leader to enter the country before the conflict erupted, explaining that he wanted to demonstrate solidarity with Israelis and report developments to the large evangelical community worldwide that strongly supports Israel.

While in Israel, Evans toured several parts of the country with a professional film crew. The group visited sites where missiles had struck, as well as communities affected by the fighting. Evans also met with Israeli soldiers, visited wounded civilians in hospitals, attended funerals, and spent time speaking with Holocaust survivors. His team documented how Israelis were continuing daily life during wartime and looked for ways to provide practical assistance.

After completing his visit in Israel, Evans left the country through Egypt and then traveled directly to Washington, D.C., where he is continuing advocacy and diplomatic outreach on behalf of Israel.

The new billboard effort follows a number of similar campaigns Evans and the Friends of Zion movement have organized across Israel in recent years. One previous initiative featured the slogan “Cyrus the Great is Alive,” referencing the biblical Persian ruler who allowed the Jewish people to return to Yerushalayim, along with other campaigns emphasizing the relationship between the United States and Israel.

Evans has also been involved in several pro-Israel initiatives connected to the Trump administration. On December 11, 2017, he presented President Trump with the prestigious Friends of Zion Award in the Oval Office for his support of Israel. The award, commissioned by Israel’s ninth president, Shimon Peres, has been presented to 28 world leaders recognized for their friendship with the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
