Ten Reasons to

Israel
Bless
and the
Jewish People
The Bible calls us to “lift up a
banner [and] station the guardians”
on behalf of Israel (Jeremiah 51:12).
It is our hope and prayer that caring churches
and congregations like yours will assist The
Fellowship as we spiritually join together hand
in hand to minister to needy Jewish people in
Israel and around the world and let them know,
“You are not alone, we are with you!”

 “I will bless those
who bless you.”
Genesis 12:3

I
am often asked to explain the main key to
The Fellowship’s success in its ministry
to Israel and the Jewish people. If I were to
name a factor I feel is one key to the blessing
we have seen in this work, it would clearly be
the timeless, covenantal promise God made to
our father Abraham in Genesis 12:3.
I have seen God use this promise to open
the doors of understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians
that had been locked for 2,000 years. And many Bible-believing Christians
like you have also participated in the blessing of God as they have acted on
the promise of His word and supported this work dedicated to blessing His
ancient people, Israel.
For this reason, I desire for you the blessing of
Genesis 12:3 as a friend who is blessing the seed of
Abraham. The best way I know to help make this a
reality is to offer you the opportunities outlined in
this brochure which, in partnership with The Fellowship, will help you assist
suffering Jewish people in meaningful and even lifesaving ways.
The key to the future of Israel is in the hands of God. Yet God willing, we
can use each day and hour we have to help minister to the neediest remnants of
Israel in ways that save lives and bring untold benefit to those who are being
assisted. Please use and share this brochure as a means to bringing about that
blessing. May God bless you for your generosity and compassion.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
