International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

They're counting on us—I'm counting on you!

Dear Friend of Israel,

Thanks to the generous contributions of ministry partners like you, The Fellowship is able to reach out to suffering Israelis and Jews around the world through programs that offer many different forms of assistance. Literally hundreds of thousands of lives are touched every day through these programs.

When you realize the full scope of The Fellowship's work and the number of people who count on this support on a daily basis, you understand how critically important it is that it continue. Today, I invite you to read about three people whose lives were transformed through The Fellowship's programs. And, then, I ask you to prayerfully consider blessing the Jewish people through a gift to The Fellowship program that most speaks to your heart.

On behalf of Israel and Jewish people everywhere, thank you for your support. May you be blessed, even as you have blessed God's people.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President


	Few people know that 1.6 million Israelis—more than 20 percent of Israel's population—live in poverty. "The statistics from Israel are truly shocking, and represent thousands of people who are struggling just to survive," Rabbi Eckstein said. "When you read stories like Sophie's and realize that there are so many Israelis in a similar position, you understand why Guardians of Israel is such an essential part of The Fellowship's ministry."

	In ancient times, the Jewish people were exiled from the land God gave them. Today, that exile is finally ending, as the ancestors of the biblical Israelites return to Israel from the former Soviet Union, India, Ethiopia, South America ... quite literally, from "the four corners of the earth." Your gifts to On Wings of Eagles not only support this prophetic ingathering by funding aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel)—they also help Jewish immigrants become full, productive citizens in the Holy Land. *Read about Ziv, an Ethiopian Jew whose life was transformed through On Wings of Eagles' compassionate support>>*


	When Sima's husband died and her family business collapsed, she was desperate. She thought she had nowhere else to turn—but then The Fellowship's Isaiah 58 partners stepped in. "The help we provided to Sima and her family through Isaiah 58 is typical of the work we do every day in the former Soviet Union," Rabbi Eckstein said. "It is truly shining a ray of hope in the lives of thousands of poor Jews in this part of the world." Read Sima's story>>
