Your first gift is the beginning of something bigger.
In Israel, this season marks the biblical time of First Fruits—when God’s people gave the first of their harvest, not knowing yet what the full yield would be. It was an act of faith.
This spring, we invite you to give your first gift and trust God with the rest.
Watch to find out how your first donation can make an eternal impact.
The first step towards something eternal
Your first gift can change a life.
Your first steps were wobbly. Your first prayer, uncertain. Your first Bible reading? Probably left you with more questions than answers.
Most firsts don’t feel significant—but in God’s hands, small beginnings lead to lasting impact. This spring, you have the chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of people in Israel with your first gift.
Whether it’s your very first donation, the first time you’ve sown into Israel since the war began, or the first of your increase—your “first” can make an eternal impact.
This spring, you have the chance to take a first step that echoes into eternity.
This is a season of firsts.
Between Passover and Pentecost (April–June), God called His people to bring their first fruits—offering the first of their harvest as an act of trust and worship.
This was never about the size of the gift. It was about faith in the harvest to come. They trusted God with the first of what they had, confident He would bring the harvest.
It’s a reminder: every first step toward God matters deeply.
Today, your first gift is more than a donation—it’s a declaration of trust in God’s work in Israel.

Why does your first gift matter?
Less than 1% of Israel believes in Jesus.
Searching for lasting hope.
Many Jewish people live in the Land—but spiritually remain in the wilderness. They are uncertain. Lost. Still searching for lasting hope.
This is your opportunity to help reveal that hope —joining the story as the Gospel returns to the place where it took its first steps.
Give nowLocal Partners are sharing Jesus every day.
Though less than 1% of Israel believes in Yeshua, across the country, small congregations and ministries are faithfully planting seeds.
These are our Local Partners, doing the incredible work to transform lives in Israel with the love of Jesus.
Support Local Partners
Your first gift goes further than you think.
Whether you're joining this story for the first time—or picking up where you left off—this is your moment.
Let your gift be the first step of many. Let it be the beginning of a rhythm—one that says: “God, I’m taking the first steps… and I believe in the harvest You have promised.”
This is more than a donation. It’s trust in motion. It’s faith in action.
Your generosity can help:
- Spark someone’s first conversation about Jesus
- Respond to their first prayer as they reach for truth
- Support their first Bible reading—led by a local believer who once searched just like them
Your first gift today can increase the firstfruits of the Gospel in Israel—faithful believers preparing the way for the harvest to come.

Frequently Asked Questions.
FIRM stands for Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries. We are a nonprofit that serves a network of over 70 local ministries and organizations in Israel that share a passion for reaching people in Israel with the Gospel.
Although we have partners throughout the world who support the ongoing work of FIRM, in Israel we partner with a group of 70+ Gospel-centered ministries and congregations. FIRM Local Partners are ministries made up of Messianic Jews and Christian Arabs that are doing the work of Yeshua and serving Israel and its people. They are the heart of our mission and the “hands and feet” of seeing Israel transformed with the love of Yeshua.
While we are grateful to hear of Kingdom work being done around the globe, at this time, FIRM is dedicated to Gospel-centered work within Israel, through trusted local congregations and organizations.
Overall, donations from believers abroad come to Israel through multiple channels: government organizations, churches, and other nonprofits that are involved in commendable work in the land. However, that does not necessarily bring support to the local body of believers.
By giving through FIRM, you can rest assured that your money supports gospel-centered work in the land. Additionally, by giving through FIRM, you are guaranteed that 100% of your donation goes to the local partners of FIRM. We do not charge you an administrative fee and there are no other hidden fees.
