As I read Scripture, I am continually amazed at how clear it is that we should give to bless the Jewish believers.  (I encourage you to read this article for a synopsis of many verses that point to this truth.)

It is such an honor and privilege to minister to the Jewish believers’ financial needs, because the Lord has through them ministered to us in spiritual things (see Romans 15:25-27).

I want to thank our faithful monthly partners for participating in this grace of giving (see 2 Corinthians 8:1-7).

Because of your faithful support, we actually doubled our monthly giving at the start of this year, and have experienced the Lord’s faithfulness to continue that support all year.

I want to see us expand our support to not only give bigger, but to give wider. It’s time to reach more ministries in Israel with finances to support them in spreading the Gospel of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah.

An update from Israel.

Here is an recent testimony from one of our partners in Jerusalem:

“I didn’t know people like this existed,” said a young man whose family fled a neighboring nation and settled into Israel. He said this after meeting Messianic Jewish members of an Israeli congregation, and within a few months he gave his life to the King of the Jews. Later he went on to say, “Growing up, I never encountered discrimination as an Arab living among Jews. I had always felt comfortable in my school and my community. But I have never felt such a strong sense of belonging as I do in my congregation. We enjoy hanging out with each other during the week and we make a point to witness to people everywhere we go”

Thank you for partnering with the Jewish believers in Israel. Day after day your support is impacting lives, both Jew and Gentile, in the land of the Bible.

Partner with us.

  • Would you prayerfully consider a special year-end gift to bless the believers in Israel?
  • Or consider increasing your monthly support?
  • Would you share the vision of Lifting up Zion with a friend who might partner with us?

Thank you again for your faithfulness in giving.  We look forward to a fruitful 2022.
