Donor Reviews

We started giving to The Fellowship around 16 years ago. I was watching a TV program, and The Fellowship came on, telling stories about the orphans and elderly they were supporting in Israel. I called immediately and began giving. Now we give monthly, some gifts bigger, some smaller – but the Lord has certainly tied us in with The Fellowship, and it's been a huge blessing to our family.

IFCJ Donor, Mary Robben

Thirty years ago I found a brochure from The Fellowship. At the time I thought, “I'm giving to many other ministries, but this one is specifically calling out to me.” As the years went on, there was a yearning in my heart to give to Israel and to support the Jews. I've been giving to the ministry ever since. I'm African American, and I'm not supporting due to skin color or race, but because of a similar struggle that we faced like the Jewish people.

IFCJ Donor, Janiece Love

I've discovered in the past couple of years that my purpose is to support The Fellowship, to help feed and take care of the Jewish people in Israel. I feel that's my job. We as Christians have a calling on this earth that we're supposed to do. I have to say that because I've been doing my job of supporting the Jewish people I've been kept safe during this time.

I'm very grateful to The Fellowship for providing me with help,” Dolores says. “I am totally dependent on it. Without you I would have nothing to eat. My life would be impossible. The Fellowship is the only friend left in my life.

Dolores, Elderly woman from Ukraine (May 2022)

Thanks to The Fellowship we have food on the table. Without the monthly assistance, we would not be able to exist.
