If you’re one of those many who were shocked by the massacre on 7th October and just wanted to rush there to volunteer your help, you’ve probably spent hours praying for God’s chosen people like we do.
And while we can’t just pack our bags and rush to help like we wish we could, we can still support the Jewish people by sending funds to local ministries with boots on the ground. Here’s a list of Christian, Jewish, and Messianic charities and trusts that align with Biblical values that you can support.
Christians in Israel providing for Jewish needs
1. FIRM – Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries
Wayne Hilsden and Michael Mistretta started FIRM because they believe that Israel can make an impact on everyone’s life, and everyone has a role to play in Israel’s story. Their vision is to unite and strengthen the local believing body in Israel, through the global Church.
Today they support many local ministries like Be’ad Chaim, Chaim BeShefa, HaTikva Project, Vision for Israel and more.
FIRM Israel is helping the thousands of people who have been displaced from the border towns of Judea and Samaria. They’re also doing a Pray by Name for the Israeli hostages that Hamas has kidnapped right now. To date, the person I’m praying for has not yet been released. But we won’t give up. There’s more than enough time to keep storming heaven.

2. Messiah’s Mandate
An organization that takes care of the Jewish People whether or not they’ve met the Messiah, Ron Cantor and his friends were recently in the news.
They’ve been collecting funds to purchase equipment for IDF soldiers. So Atara Beck of the Jerusalem Post calls them out for “taking advantage of the war situation to spread the gospel in Israel.” Are they doing that? Or are they helping all Jewish people regardless of what they think or believe? That’s up to you to decide.

3. Vision for Israel
Decades ago, when I first became a Christian, one of the first few TV shows we used to watch as a family was that of Barry and Batya Segal at Vision for Israel. We loved how real and authentic they were, and how they helped transform the lives of the Jews who lived below the poverty lines and also the new immigrants making Aliyah.
Nowadays, they’re also making a mark by helping survivors, lonely soldiers, and children at risk.

2. It’s a Date
Go on a date. Well, not a real date, but technically you’ll buy Israeli wine, and this in turn sends reservist soldiers and displaced parents to dine. The impact of the war has been tough. They’re not just fighting to bring their loved ones home, but to defend their right to existence.
The demons of Hamas and their Palestinian agenda paints Israel as the bad guys, but if you let Abba open your eyes, you’d see that they’re the Chosen just defending their right to live. And no matter what blindness the world follows or believes, they will survive. It is written!
Anyway, buy wine, the extra you pay is converted to gift certificates that are given to reservists or families that have been displaced because of the war. They enjoy a good meal.
