Micah Wood of Eagles Wings joins the Partnership Program to share his transformative journey of aligning heart and mind with God’s perspective on Israel and the Jewish people. 

Engaged in full-time ministry, Micah gave little thought to Israel. Micah’s path shifted when a friend challenged him with one question: “Are you a Zionist?” His candid response—“No”—opened the door to a series of divine appointments that reshaped his understanding and ministry. 
Join us to hear Micah’s journey with God as he opened his heart and mind to new revelation concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Hear how he is now guiding pastors on a similar path.
