The first 10% of our 10% missions giving is going to outreach projects in the nation of Israel. We base this practice on what we read in Romans 11:16 where the apostle Paul puts it this way: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” We also read in the Bible that God blesses those who bless Israel and want to be obedient in this way.
Our main partner currently is the Beit Hallel Congregation in Ashdod, a messianic congregation that reaches out to the large Ukrainian Jewish community in the city. They are serving people in practical ways who live in impoverished neighborhoods in their city and beyond, thereby building a bridge between the congregation and the locals.
