Our United States CEO and Global COO Robin Van Etten talks about the essential and ongoing support of the Jewish people from Christians as Israel observes Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day in an op-ed with Charisma:
We remember the Christians who stood with the Jewish people when it was dangerous to do so. They were a minority, but they acted with conviction. They sheltered Jewish neighbors, protected children, and refused to accept hatred as an unjust inevitability.
Today, as Israel faces war and Jewish communities around the world confront rising anti-Semitism, we are fortunate to see an even larger community of Christians standing with us. Their support is not just symbolic; it is essential. And it is needed now more than ever.
In recent months, I’ve spoken with pastors, church leaders, and Christian families who have reached out with a simple message: “We are here, and we are not going anywhere.” Their commitment has allowed us to respond quickly and effectively to the needs created by the current conflict.
Because of this support, we have been able to help protect vulnerable communities across Israel with bomb shelters. We have been able to deliver food, medicine, and emergency aid to elderly Holocaust survivors, families displaced by violence, and children living under constant threat. These efforts are not abstract; they are tangible examples of how The Fellowship is helping to keep people alive.
