Welcome Children in His Name

Eastern European Summer Camps for Children

Every summer, hundreds of children and their families come from broken areas across Eastern Europe to summer camp in the serene Polish countryside. This year has been especially important as all these children come from war-torn Jewish communities in Ukraine. At camp, children enjoy fellowship, Bibles and Bible study, hot meals, and peace and safety away from air raid sirens. Each child returns home with clothes, new shoes, a backpack, and a Bible. More importantly, every child leaves camp knowing that God’s love for him or her is real. You can give these children and their families food, lodging, and clothing, but even more, you can give them the hope they can find only in Jesus Christ.

Help Grow Their Faith

Translations

It is easy to take for granted the incredible depth of biblical resources available to English speakers. But for millions of people worldwide, it is difficult to get these types of resources in their native language. Our teams work tirelessly to carefully translate books, Israel My Glory articles, audio and video resources like The Common Thread Bible study, into German, French, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Hebrew. Your support will help make more of these resources available to non-English speaking people so they can grow in their faith.

Share Your Love of Israel

Bless A Holocaust Survivor

Holocaust Care Fund

Around the world, Holocaust survivors are forgotten, impoverished, and suffering, many dying alone. It can be difficult for them to do basic tasks on their own, and the global pandemic has only increased their fear and reminded them of days they were hungry, cold, and unable to escape their suffering. You can be a hero to Holocaust survivors wherever they are. Your support delivers food, clothes, medicine, eyeglasses, coats, cleaning supplies, and much-needed spiritual support.

Encountering Believers in the Backcountry

Meet at the Mountain

When you turned 18 years old, you may have entered the military as a conscripted serviceman. This is a reality for every 18-year-old Israeli man and woman today. Straight out of high school, they must serve for 2–3 years in the military or related logistical service. Once done, it’s common for these young adults to take a year off and go on an international backpacking trip before going to college. Many choose to hike the exotic terrain of New Zealand, where they receive the warm hospitality of our FOI team and lodging, warm meals, hot showers, and comfortable beds. Just beginning their new, post-military season of life, they often ask spiritual questions; and with gentleness and respect, our team is able to give testimony to those who ask. You can help make an Israeli backpacker's stay in New Zealand unforgettable, maybe even life-changing, by making it possible for him or her to learn of God’s love for them.

Open the Word for Seekers in Eastern Europe

Holiday With the Bible

Believers and seekers, both Jewish and secular, from Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Poland come together throughout the summer months to learn about the Bible, study, and enjoy fellowship. For many, it is the first time they have ever held a Bible in their hands. Many are coming from the war-torn regions of Ukraine, and this retreat provides a respite from air raid sirens and fear. Your love and financial support will provide a unique opportunity for the Lord to calm their fears with His love through His Word.

Comfort My People

Elderly Care Fund

The late years in life for anyone can be the loneliest time. Helping and spending time with an elderly person is the perfect way to demonstrate Christ’s love. You help form unique friendships with these precious people by supporting the Elderly Care Fund. Through your support, you send workers to spend time with our elderly friends near and far. You bring them food and medicine, help transport them to doctor appointments, assist them with small projects around the house, and give them spiritual support. Please help provide life-giving support via medicine, food, and love to our elderly Jewish friends worldwide.

Sponsor a Gift Basket

Holiday Baskets

A small gesture of love can go a long way! Every year, Friends of Israel workers around the world prepare and hand-deliver thousands of gift baskets for Hanukkah and other Jewish holidays to our Jewish friends. Delighted to receive a basket of delicious and thoughtful goodies, the recipients are often overwhelmed by this act of kindness. When you sponsor a basket, you are making a special moment possible. You are sharing the love of the Messiah and showing that it is the Lord’s love that compels us to remember our Jewish friends during their holiday season. You can put a smile on someone’s face by giving him or her a gift basket today.

Give Hope on Campuses

Campus Ministry

Do you remember your days on the mall of your college campus? Maybe you encountered a friend who shared the gospel with you or invited you to a Bible study. Maybe you only attended the study for the free pizza and ended up finding salvation through Jesus Christ . . .

Today, students are denying Christ in an effort to express themselves and their feelings about the church. That’s why we make it a priority to reach young adults on their own turf in multiple ways. Maybe you can’t make it to your alma mater to share God’s truth, but you can help! You can help to spread truth and the love of our Savior in the harsh spiritual climate of academia. When you give to FOI’s campus ministry, you are opening hearts and leading a new generation to life in Christ and helping them grow in their faith rather than abandon it.

Imprint Israel in Their Hearts

ORIGINS & Hesed : Ministry Trips to Israel

There is no better way to influence a new generation of believers and teach them about the relevance of Israel than taking them to the Holy Land and putting them to work serving the Jewish people. Some people call it “experiential learning,” but we call it ministry. This immersive experience ingrains the significance of the Jewish people into the hearts of these young volunteers—and ingrains the significance of Christian love into the hearts of Israelis. These volunteers are often young and need to raise support to afford the trip. Can you help them? When you help sponsor one volunteer, you send the love of the Messiah directly to the Jewish people and you forever imprint Israel in the heart of a young believer.

Deepen the International Mission Field

International Mission Launch

To find someone with a passionate love for God and the Jewish people, and who is called by the Lord into Jewish ministry is amazing. And the Lord continues to amaze us with new prospective field workers as He calls people into full-time Jewish ministry around the world. Just in the last year, thanks to your support, four new field workers began ministry in Poland, Australia, France, and New Zealand. Your support will equip new international field workers with the tools they need to transition into full-time ministry building. Please help launch a new worker through the International Mission Launch Initiative today and watch it bear fruit for eternity.

These free, online classes are open to anyone around the world, and thousands participate in more than 20 classes offered each year.

Provide Healing From the Great Physician

Argentina Medical Care

Every day nearly 100 sick and injured people cross our clinic's threshold desperate for good medical care. Many people cannot afford the high cost of basic medical care. At the clinic, every person receives individual treatment by a certified nurse or physician, or is transported to a major hospital for intensive care. No patient leaves without being offered spiritual support and experiencing Christian compassion. With your gift of $50, you will make a difference for one patient who receives the medical treatment he or she needs, as well as much-needed spiritual healing.

Help a Jewish Person Return Home

Aliyah Return Fund

Israel has become a refuge for Jewish people fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Tens of thousands of Russian Jews have also headed to the Jewish homeland. Most are desperate to leave situations of war, poverty, and extreme antisemitic persecution. We can see how the Lord is gathering His people and planting them in the Holy Land as more and more people make aliyah, or immigrate, to Israel each year. You can be part of God’s plan to rescue the Jewish people and bring them home, help them learn Hebrew, find a home or school, receive job training and opportunities, and integrate into Israeli society.

Be A Friend of Israel

Where Needed Most

Just as you love God, so do we! We love God, His Word, and the Jewish people. Like you, we share our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, support Israel’s right to the Land, oppose antisemitism, and live lives of humility, integrity, and respect for others.

The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry is a worldwide evangelical ministry proclaiming biblical truth about Israel and the Messiah, while bringing physical and spiritual comfort to the Jewish people. Our vision is to see everyone believe in God’s Son and understand God’s plan for the ages.
