Truly Ministering to Their Jewish Neighbors
Why would an Arab pastor ask The Joshua Fund to send his congregation Jewish holiday gifts? As part of our humanitarian outreach in Israel, we make available special holiday gift packs (at Passover and Sukkot for Jewish food recipients, and at Christmas and Easter for Arab recipients). One of our Distribution Centers operated by Arab believers requested Jewish holiday gifts. Each month, they visit and take food to needy people from different religious backgrounds. They wanted gifts that truly ministered to their Jewish neighbors. Their plan worked, as many Jewish families were deeply touched and marveled that Arab believers were blessing them in such a beautiful way. “People are seeing unconditional love,” an Arab partner explains. “In the midst of this Arab-Jewish conflict, we want to say…that we love you, we pray for you.” Thank you for helping us enable Hebrew, Arabic and Russian-speaking congregations to show God’s love and provide food packs each month to nearly 3,000 needy families in Israel.
