3. Pastors Larry and Tiz Huch

Pastors Larry and Tiz Huch are the founding pastors of New Beginnings Church in Bedford, Texas (Dallas–Fort Worth), a diverse, multiethnic congregation they launched in 2004. After nearly 50 years of ministry—pioneering seven churches in the United States and Australia and building Larry Huch Ministries—they reach millions of people around the world through their daily television programs. Pastor Larry is known for combining humor, compassion, and deep biblical teaching, and is an acclaimed author on the Jewish roots of the Christian faith (The Torah Blessing, Unveiling Ancient Biblical Secrets). They have become leading advocates for the Jewish people and Israel which has opened the doors for them to meet with world leaders regularly including President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and others.

For more than three decades, Pastor Larry has been a prominent voice against antisemitism. Living by tikkun olam (repairing the world), the Huchs partner with Keren Hayesod to support Holocaust survivors, Aliyah flights, bomb shelters, and mobile ICUs for Israel and the IDF. Pastor Larry serves on the board of the Israel Allies Foundation, has been named among the Top Fifty Christian Allies of Israel for five consecutive years, and was the first recipient of the John Henry Patterson Guardian of Zion Award. He has visited Israel more than 50 times, leads tours, and works to restore the Church to its Judeo-Christian foundations.
