We seek to see the Messianic and evangelical community in Israel to grow and strengthen in faith. The focus of our work is in education, reconciliation and enabling organisational development. Our supporters are mainly within the UK although several are within Europe. We regularly host online lectures using leaders within the Israeli community to generate interest among our supporters in the work we do.
