About

MICHAEL WAS VIOLENTLY ABUSED by his Jew-hating bully father who believed he was not his son, but the son of a Jew. He had a speech impediment, a stomach ulcer, dozens of fears, was failing in school, and believed he was a moron.

One Tuesday they asked the children in school, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Michael showed up late, not wanting to answer. When it was his turn, he stuttered 20 because he believed his father would kill him before he was 20 years old.

That Saturday morning, around 2:00 a.m. his father was beating up his Jewish mother, accusing her of having an affair with a Jewish man, screaming, “That’s not my son. He’s a moron.”

Michael cried out, “Stop it!” attempting to defend her. His father ran up the stairs, picked him up by his neck way above his father’s head, and strangled him. When Michael became conscious, he was in a fetal position, gagging on his own vomit in the dark. He screamed at God in anger because he was alive, shouting, “God, why was I born?” He had never heard the word “son” or the words, “I love you,” or a word of encouragement, but only curse words and beatings from his bully father.

Suddenly, he realized the answer to the question of why he was born. He couldn’t defend one Jew against a bully, his Jew-hating racist father. The reason he was born was to defend all the Jews.

Mike Evans, as he was writing this book, was informed that he has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for a lifetime of work of combating antisemitism.

There was no hope in the natural for the little boy who thought he was a moron. Instead of a victim that child became a victor. He turned his fire into fuel, and his pain into power, purpose, and passion.

What others are saying…

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Mike Evans is a cherished friend; he is a fighter for freedom in a world of darkening and narrowing horizons. In his devotion to Israel, Mike has consistently demonstrated the moral clarity that is necessary to defend Israel against the lies and distortions of its enemies and championed the Jewish people’s claim to the Land of Israel.”

The late His Excellency, President Shimon Peres of Israel:

“Mike Evans is a dreamer, but his dreams come true. It was my honor serving as international chairman of his Friends of Zion Museum and traveling with Mike, meeting with world leaders such as Pope Francis, President George W. Bush, and Prince Albert of Monaco.”

The Honorable Ehud Olmert,
Former Prime Minister of Israel:

“I have known Mike Evans for more than two decades, and I consider him to be a great friend of Jerusalem and the State of Israel. He has always been there for us in our time of need speaking out with courage and compassion. Mike Evans is a true ambassador of Jerusalem, representing millions of Christians in America.”

President and Mrs. George Bush,
43rd President of the United States of America:

“The path to the future can only be accomplished through the help and commitment by people like you.”

Dr. Jack Hayford,
Pastor/President, The King’s Seminary:

“May this day be blessed by a new visitation of God’s purpose for you. Please know how thankful we are for you as well as for the privilege of your friendship and fellowship. Blessings, dear brother. You are loved and esteemed in His life and the partnership in ministry for the Kingdom we so richly enjoy.”

Mike Huckabee,
44th Governor of Arkansas:

“I am delighted to be a supporter of the Jerusalem Prayer Team. I have loved Israel and the Jewish people for many years, and I’m so glad to see such a powerful and effective ministry supporting God’s Chosen People in these difficult days when they are facing so many challenges and threats.”
