Since its very beginning, The Joshua Fund has sought to bring help to the poor and needy in Israel through local distribution centers that provide food directly to those in need. The most recent statistics that have been released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) show a continued increase in those who are at risk of falling below the poverty line.
By the grace of the God of Israel, the raging fires in northern Israel are now fully extinguished. This is an important and wonderful development. Now the difficult work begins of helping families affected by the fires. More than 17,000 were evacuated from their homes during the fires. Many are returning home now.
In July, for the third year in a row, The Joshua Fund helped sponsor “Back to Jerusalem,” a conference and outreach designed by Arab-Israeli Christians to help their fellow Arab believers learn how to share their faith. What a joy it was to go and be part of bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ back to where it all began.
In August, I had the opportunity to travel with two of my colleagues to Israel to visit The Joshua Fund warehouse, see operations on the ground, and consider such questions. The last time I had been to the warehouse was in November 2009 when TJF had first rented the facility and we had prayed and dedicated the building. It was completely empty then, and we had no staff to run it. Not anymore.
At the end of 2009, with your financial help and faithful prayers, The Joshua Fund provided a significant grant to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national emergency medical service, to purchase two brand new ambulances. Both were built, outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, and delivered to an MDA station in Jerusalem in May 2010
The world is turning away from Israel. But as followers of Jesus Christ, it is time for us to stand with God’s chosen people together. Let’s pray for the peace of Jerusalem together. Let’s study the Word of God together. Let’s worship the King of kings together. Will you join us?
The Joshua Fund calls on followers of Jesus Christ around the world to pray for their fellow brothers and sisters in the Middle East.
