You know, the Bible tells us, I will bless those who bless you.

That's not just a nice sentiment, it's biblical prophecy.

And it's a commandment from God.

It's a calling, and right now we're called to act.

The teachings of the New Testament are deeply intertwined with the Hebrew scriptures.

As Christians, we are called to honor and respect this shared heritage.

The apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 1118,

do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches.

If you do, consider this.

You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Supporting the people of Israel

is more than a belief. It's a biblical mandate. By partnering with the international fellowship

of Christians and Jews, IFCJ, we can live out this calling together. Just as the fellowship

blesses God's children, we know that you will be blessed too. Learn more about the fellowship

and how you can live out your faith, bless Israel, and be blessed in return.
