Hundreds of thousands of Israel-loving evangelical Christians from communities around the world have been supporting, these days and since the beginning of the war, Israel's war efforts and aid on the home front. Since October 7, Firm, a union of advocacy organizations in Israel of evangelical Christians, has donated more than $10 million to an emergency fund designed to respond to crisis needs related to the war against Israel. These donations from Firme and local Christian partners funded dozens of projects to aid Israel's war effort.
Joint projects have so far provided 2,200 ceramic bulletproof vests and 1,700 helmets to reserve units, tactical equipment and supplies to first respondents. As part of the assistance of evangelical Christian communities, 10,15 lunch boxes were distributed through 000 centers throughout the country, 50,000 kosher and hot meals were prepared for displaced persons and another 60,000 meals for soldiers and families.
At the same time, the Christian organization "Firm" assists seven locations throughout the country in lodging displaced families in hotels throughout the country. Today, 1,500 men and women and 400 children who have been forced to leave their homes in hotels across the country are staying. In addition, there are 74 collaborations with local councils in which the organization's volunteers work and assist with the needs of communities on the front, north and south.

Last weekend, the first large delegation of 75 Evangelical Christians who love Israel from the organization "Firm" landed in Israel, from 10 countries around the world, in order to support the communities in the Gaza envelope and the north and Israel's war effort. The members of the delegation came to Israel in order to contribute, volunteer, assist and get to know the needs of the affected families and communities, especially in the Gaza envelope and in the north. Members of the delegation, which includes participants aged 13 to 93, will tour the country during the week, assist and support civilian communities in a variety of projects, and meet with community leaders, government officials and families affected by the war.
Yesterday, members of the delegation planted hundreds of trees in a memorial garden in Qal'a and packed thousands of rations and food boxes for distribution to families and soldiers. During their visit, the members of the delegation will assist in renovations and repairs in kibbutzim and communities that were damaged, will host a leisure day for 400 children of displaced families from northern communities, will participate in a "National Day of Service" in Kibbutz Dorot and Ein HaBasor, and will also participate in assisting the agricultural industry, picking sweet potatoes and flowers. "We believe that when someone you love gets hurt, you come to help them," says delegation leader and Firm CEO Michael Mistrata. "We are part of thousands of Christians who love Israel who come here precisely in times of war to serve and help the people of Israel and to tell you: 'We are with you and by your side.'"
