The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

In mid-June, the Israeli air force launched strikes against military and nuclear targets in Iran. This was followed by missile strikes by Iran into Israel. The Israelis are justifying their attack due to the existential threat they perceive from Iran. Israel claims that if Iran were to obtain nuclear capability, Israel would be in jeopardy of a nuclear strike from Iran. But like anything we hear from government officials, we might wonder if this is entirely true.
If Iran were to launch a nuclear weapon at Israel, we know Israel could also do the same to Iran. Israel is known to have a secret nuclear weapons program themselves. They also have never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Some estimates put Israel's nuclear weapons at 90. Yet they have never publicly acknowledged having the weapons.
