16. Frank Van Oordt

Frank van Oordt is Director of Christians for Israel Netherlands, the organization founded by his father Karel van Oordt in 1979. As part of a family deeply committed to biblical support for Israel, he leads one of Europe’s most active Christian Zionist ministries, which represents hundreds of thousands of believers across more than 40 countries. C4I’s mission centers on uniting Christians in love for the Jewish people and mobilizing prayer and practical action for the State of Israel.

Van Oordt actively supports aliyah and numerous humanitarian projects in Israel. Following the October 7, 2023 attacks and subsequent rise in antisemitism in Europe (including violence against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam), he has spoken forcefully against Jew-hatred, organized solidarity events, and called Christians to stand publicly with the Jewish community. He has emphasized that the enduring place of Israel in God’s plan is a source of enrichment for the church and that believers must reject both replacement theology and silence in the face of hatred.
