Comfort My People
Elderly Care
Show Christ’s love in a deeply personal way—by bringing companionship, care, and hope to precious seniors who often feel forgotten. Your gift helps dedicated workers visit these treasured friends, delivering food, medicine, and spiritual encouragement. They also assist with transportation and small household tasks and provide vital emotional support.
Bless a Holocaust Survivor
Holocaust Care
Time is running out to show love to the remaining Holocaust survivors. Many are living alone, in poverty, in pain, and in silence. Your gift provides food, warm clothing, medicine, eyeglasses, cleaning supplies, and the comforting reminder that they are not forgotten. Today, you can honor their lives with dignity, care, and Christ’s love.
Empower a Pastor. Enrich a Church.
Pastors' Trip to Israel
Many pastors simply can’t afford this kind of ministry-transforming opportunity. Your gift helps cover the cost for a pastor in need, giving him the chance to study God’s Word in the land where it happened and has yet to happen again. When you send a pastor to Israel, you’re not only uplifting his ministry—you’re equipping his entire church.
Be the Hands and Feet of Christ in Israel
Ministry Trips to Israel
By sponsoring a volunteer, you are sending the love of the Messiah straight to the Jewish community and cultivating a lasting connection to Israel in the heart of a young believer. Your generosity can have a lasting impact, generating a ripple effect of faith and love that transcends generations and borders.
Save a Life in Israel
Israel Relief
When you give to the Israel Relief Fund, you are helping save lives—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Your gift provides emergency shelter during missile attacks, lifesaving support for expectant mothers, food for hungry children, medical aid for wounded soldiers, and more. Your generosity is a direct response to Jesus’ call to care for the “least of these” in Israel.
Launch a Missionary for Christ

By supporting North American Mission Launch, you help turn a calling into a reality for individuals called to serve in Jewish ministry.

Stand With Europe's Jewish Communities
Western European Support
Friends of Israel workers in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are actively ministering to Jewish communities, offering encouragement, practical help, and the love of Christ.

Edify the Body of Christ
FOI Equip Online
Our FOI Equip online classes are free and open to anyone around the world—including you! Each year, thousands of participants take part in more than 20 classes offered. Your contribution will help provide resources and teachers, enrich the body of Christ with a deeper understanding of our faith’s Jewish roots, and nurture a greater love for Jesus and His Word.
Help a Jewish Person Come Home to Israel
Aliyah Return Fund
Today, an estimated 250,000 Jewish individuals are seeking refuge in the land God promised. And every year, more families make aliyah—returning to Israel and fulfilling God’s prophetic Word. Your support helps Jewish immigrants rebuild their lives in Israel—learning Hebrew, finding jobs, receiving vital training, and planting roots in their biblical homeland.
Experience. Learn. Serve.
Encounter
There’s no better way to understand the Jewish people than by encountering their culture, faith, and daily life firsthand. The FOI Encounter program offers this powerful opportunity—not through a textbook, but through real-life interaction and service. By giving, you’re investing in future leaders and deepening the church’s connection to God’s Chosen People.
Share Comfort and Kindness Close to Home
Holiday Boxes
All across North America, many Jewish individuals and families—especially Holocaust survivors, the elderly, and those living alone—are in need of support. Through The Friends of Israel’s Holiday Gift Box Ministry, we’re able to personally deliver thoughtful boxes filled with essential items and holiday treats to those in need, serving as a powerful reminder that they are not alone or forgotten.
Serve Hot Meals for Jewish Families in Ukraine
Eastern European Relief
Soaring inflation and ongoing conflict have left many Jewish families in Ukraine— especially the elderly, refugees, and large families—without access to nutritious food. In cities like Chernivtsi and Kyiv, our Hot Kitchens serve as a vital source of help and hope. Your gift to FOI’s Eastern European Relief provides warm, nourishing
meals to those who need them most.
Give Opportunity to Rest in God's Word
Holiday With the Bible
Each summer, Jewish and secular seekers from Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Poland gather for a unique Bible retreat. Many are encountering the Bible for the very first time—some even holding one in their hands for the first time. For those coming from war-torn regions of Ukraine, this retreat offers far more than study and fellowship—it provides peace and safety.
Give Hope on Campus
Campus Ministry
The Friends of Israel is committed to reaching young adults right where they are: on campus. Through gospel-centered relationships, Bible studies, and mentoring, our campus ministry meets students in the middle of their doubts and points them to truth.

Mobilize the Next Generation for Jewish Ministry

Across Christian college campuses in the US, The Friends of Israel’s ministry mobilization teams are inspiring a new generation to love and serve the Jewish people.

Reach a New Generation
Video Teaching
Today’s generation is searching—but often not in churches or classrooms. They’re looking for truth online.

Bring Light and Life to Young Lives
Eastern European Summer Camps for Children
Our children’s summer camp has quickly become one of the most vital ministries at Friends of Israel. For a precious time, these children experience joy and security, leaving camp with new clothes, shoes, a backpack, and a Bible. More importantly, they leave knowing God’s love has touched their hearts—bringing hope, healing, and transformation that can only come through Jesus Christ.
Offer Refuge and Faith to Israeli Backpackers
Meet at the Mountain
After completing their wartime military service, now more than ever, many young Israeli adults seek purpose and direction by backpacking through places like New Zealand. Supporting the Meet at the Mountain backpacking ministry is more than providing a temporary stay—it is a genuine opportunity for them to discover God’s love and purpose for their lives.

Share God's Love With the Forgotten in Russia
Russian Ministry
