Christians United For Israel's 11th annual summit in Washington D.C. kicks off Monday.

Every summer thousands of Christians descend on the nation's capital to rally support for Israel. The summit aims to educate delegates who then speak with lawmakers on Capitol Hill on behalf of Israel.

CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States with more than 3 million members.

Some of this year's speakers include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, CUFI founder Pastor John Hagee, founder of Turning Point Radio and TV Ministries Dr. David Jeremiah, and TBN TV host Erick Stakelbeck.

"CUFI has grown to such an extent because we are the preeminent avenue through which Christians can make their voices heard in support of Israel," Hagee said.

Another goal of CUFI is to show Americans that what happens in the Middle East matters to them.

"Whether it's ISIS, Hezbollah, or the Iranian regime, the same radical Islamic forces that seek to wipe Israel off the map have placed a bullseye on the United States," Stakelbeck said.

The summit wraps up Tuesday. Stay with Cbnnews.com for updates.
