Our Lord God numerous times in His Word illustrates for us, as Born Again Christians, that we are "indebted" to His original chosen people, the Jewish people. Romans 9:4-5 says, "Who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God." Additionally, Romans 15:27 says, "For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things." On this subject, we need to acknowledge and realize any financial support for Israel and the Jewish people are "offerings" in addition to our tithes to our local churches.
If you are looking for a ministry to support, let me recommend Bridges For Peace which is headquartered in Jerusalem and I personally have been involved with this ministry for 20 years. Bridges For Peace just celebrated 50 years of standing firm with Israel. Their stated mission is "Christians supporting Israel and building relationships between Christians and Jews in Israel and around the world." They have offices in nine countries and they take an uncompromising stand against anti-semitism.
Bridges For Peace participates in numerous acts of tangible support. These efforts include assistance for new immigrants to Israel including monthly food supplies to 28,000 people in fifty communities throughout Israel. They also contribute to the safety of Israelites with donating bomb shelters and ambulances. This week they dedicated two fully equipped ambulances to Israel's emergency provider, Magen David Adom.
Working with Israel's Social Workers and Government Agencies, Bridges For Peace is Israel's unconditional friend. For more information on how to get involved, contact bridgesforpeace.com Always remember, Genesis 12:3 says, "I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel."
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care,
Frank
