Fellowship:through our programs of bridge building between christians and jews, the fellowship's ministry provides education resources to christians to learn about the jewish roots of their christian faith, as well as the history of israel and her people. The fellowship provides prayer support to our donors through prayer calls with thousands of supporters, requests for prayers to be sent to the western wall, and a dedicate staff that pray with our donors daily. The fellowship continues to engage both christian and jews leaders in interfaith dialog, continuing to strengthen the bridge of understanding and respect. (see schedule o)(fellowship continued) in 2024 there were 300,000 downloads of yael's nourish your biblical roots podcast, with nearly 1,500 subscribers by the end of 2024. There were 46,600 podcast followers through pray.com and 16,000 people engaged in monthly prayer services. There were over 3.5 million engagements with social media platforms.

Security: israel is surrounded by hostile neighbors and so the fellowship serves as watchmen on the walls for god's people. Terrorist groups like hamas and hezbollah funded by iran pose a constant threat to israel. Terrorist rocket fire, suicide bombings and vehicular attacks sow death, destruction, and chaos. In response, the fellowship provides emergency equipment for israel's first responders, builds and reinforces bomb shelters, supports programs that offer counseling to trauma victims, finances help for victims of terror, supports israel's soldiers, and so much more. In wartime, we act quickly to meet the needs of israelis in the line of fire and help victims heal from physical and emotional trauma. (see schedule o)(security continued) 50 mobile bomb shelters were installed, including 30 in the first weeks after october 7th during operation swords of iron. 2 armored security vehicles were supplied to civilian security officers and emergency teams in southern israel. 93,000 people serving in the israel defense force and their families were provided with emergency funds for basic or household needs, as well as comfort and care. Additionally, the fellowship provided medical equipment, fortification and financial support for hospitals in israel.not only does israel face anti-semitic neighbors, but jewish communities around the world struggle against rising anti-semitism and the threat of terrorism. Worldwide, the fellowship aids synagogues, jewish schools, and other institutions targeted by attacks, providing funds that allow them to add security guards and sophisticated security systems.
