This is a time when Christians need to pray for and support our Jewish friends, the chosen people of God. Israel is at war. It is a small country – about the size of the state of New Jersey. The cost of defending itself against many enemies who want to annihilate them is great. They need our financial support now more than ever.
When Jesus judges those who have survive the Tribulation Period, the test of their faith will be what they have done for Jewish people in their time of great need. Read Matthew 25:31-46. When we give to help the Jewish people, we are giving to His brethren.
I encourage you to give generously. God will bless them even if we do not give. He will bless us if we give. This is a vital part of His will and heart. Giving to them is giving to Him.
I recommend that you give your donation to The International Embassy in Jerusalem. They have been in Israel for decades. They know the needs and have been faithfully aiding the Jewish people. Your gift will not only meet Israel’s needs, but you will also demonstrate the love of the body of Christ to them. Mark your gift: “Israel in Crisis Fund.”
