Pastor Sam Rodriguez, founder of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, is working to build a 'firewall' of young pastors in the Hispanic community to boost pro-Israel sentiment as support for Israel declines among young Latinos in the US. Rodriguez aims to counter a campaign in the US and Latin America that seeks to turn the public against Israel. The NHCLC represents 16-20 million evangelical Christians in the US alone and has 45,000 churches worldwide. Rodriguez is bringing leading young Latino pastors to Israel to strengthen their support for the country.
