Michele Bachmann has long been a friend of The Fellowship—serving on the Board—and of Israel. But what many might not know is that this American and Christian supporter of Israel also once lived in the Holy Land.

That’s right, after graduating high school, Michele spent time living and working on a kibbutz in the Holy Land. Kibbutz Be’eri, where a young Michele lived, came to the world’s attention in the days following the Hamas attacks of October 7, as it was the community hit hardest along the Gaza border.

Michele stopped by The Fellowship’s stage at this year’s National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention to speak with Bishop Paul Lanier about her time spent living in Israel, how that shaped her faith and her lifework, how that community faced the terror of 10/7, and what Christians like her are doing to stand for Israel today.

Join us for this conversation between two Christian friends of Israel, as they discuss the Holy Land of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
