Your Love Can Make a Lasting Difference
Do you have a growing love for Israel and the Jewish people? Are you passionate about seeing the Gospel of Jesus shared with those in the land of His birth? Perhaps you’ve been inspired by Scripture and feel called to bless God’s chosen people. Have you seen FIRM and wondered what the Tribe is?
Christian support for Israel is more important than ever, in our present season. Maybe you’ve watched FIRM testimonies, or like so many, felt the Spirit tugging on your heart to take part in God’s incredible plan for Israel’s restoration.
At FIRM, we understand that passion—because we share it. With 100% of the FIRM Foundation going directly to local partner ministries in Israel, you can help bring hope, healing, and the Good News of Yeshua to those who need it most. That’s why we began the Tribe: a global community of believers in Jesus (Yeshua) who want to see lives transformed in Israel, month after month.
Meet The Tribe Community that Cares for Israel
We see monumental events throughout scripture where God uses ordinary people to fulfill His promises. God used Moses to part the Red Sea to free His people. He chose David, a young shepherd boy, to defy all odds and kill Goliath.
Today, God is bringing together people from every nation, tribe, and tongue to step into their role in His story. It is an invitation for both you and me to take a stand and make a change for the sake of Israel.
Jen is one of the people who accepted this invitation.
“I remember sitting on the edge of the bed with a desire swelling in my heart to bless God,” she shared with FIRM. “I wondered what I could do to bless His heart and minister to His heart out of a real gratefulness.
“It came to me that the people of Israel, and (I believe) all the Jewish people are the apple of His eye. So, I decided to pray regularly for Israel and the Jewish people. I set alarms on my phone twice a day to remind me to pray and to bless the land of Israel.”
What is the Tribe?
What if you could be so close to what God is doing in Israel that you were part of one, unified tribe of believers around the world, loving Israel in a Gospel-centered way?
You’re invited to be a part of something that is both big and personal in how it connects you with the land of the Bible. FIRM’s Tribe is a community of generous people who care about Israel, partnering with local believers to see people in Israel come to know the Messiah.
Today, over 2,000 Christians from around the world are members of the Tribe to make a lasting impact.
If you find yourself wondering where to begin, and why your support matters, you’re in the right place. Meet the community that stands with Israel month after month and see how they put good initiatives into motion.
How does the Tribe work?
When you join the Tribe, 100% of your giving goes to the FIRM Foundation. The FIRM Foundation supports over 75 local partner ministries in Israel. From mercy ministry to widows and orphans, to congregations and outreach, to discipleship and youth work, the Tribe community makes a wide impact.
You don’t have to pick a specific ministry to research and support. FIRM partners with trusted ministries, so you can feel good knowing your money is quickly and easily going to the best work happening for the Lord in Israel.
Christian Support for Israel Around World
Today, the Tribe represents 42 countries from all continents (sans Antarctica – for now). Are you a part of your local Tribe community? Or maybe you will be the first person to represent your country?
John from the USA told us how God moved his heart to empathize with Israel:
“My whole perspective about the Jewish people changed from a people who kept messing up to a people God has chosen. It reminded me of my own walk and how I continually mess up. But have a loving God who will endure me forever, just like He does the chosen Israelites.”
Another thoughtful perspective came from Rebecca from the Philippines:
“As a Gentile, I am always grateful for how the Jewish people have brought to us the Scriptures and Yeshua. My support is a way of showing them my love and gratitude. Above all, I want Israel to experience the hope that I have because of Yeshua, our Jewish Messiah.”
The Power of Recurring Giving
We love turning plans into projects, and dreams into reality. And we know you do, too! FIRM local partners in Israel are the doers and history makers. With your collective help, they are able to do the work that is most needed at any time!
Recurring donations are crucial to ministries like FIRM. And they are crucial to the numerous organizations – our local partners – who are the hands and feet on the ground.
The steady stream of income through the Tribe allows these organizations to plan budgets and allocate resources more effectively. They can reduce the costs associated with fundraising campaigns, and just focus on their mission.
In return, the Tribe community can feel a stronger connection to the believers in Israel, because their relationship is lasting and loyal. The monthly givers will continue to impact lives long into the future, creating a long-term legacy of kindness and generosity.
Many projects of our partners require immediate support, especially at a time of war. The Tribe makes it possible to act right away, since funds can be counted on. That is why the Tribe is the cornerstone of FIRM’s work, helping to respond quickly in emergency situations, and in a measured way throughout the year.
What the Tribe Community is Accomplishing in Israel
Thanks to the Tribe, FIRM local partners can respond more quickly to emerging needs or crises – like after the terrorist attack on October 7. Within a couple of days, the Tribe funding ensured that the local ministries could provide support when (and where) it was most needed.
In the recent conflict, our local partners made many trips to areas like Sderot, near the Gaza border, bringing food and critical supplies to residents. Among them was a Holocaust survivor who, as a child, had witnessed her sister’s murder, and now recently, lost a friend to terrorism. She reflected on the fragility of life and, moved by the love shown by our local partners, prayed a prayer of repentance.
Your support helps our local partners be the hands and feet of Jesus during difficult times.
Every donation from the Tribe community can create lasting change. With a monthly gift, you can ensure that ministries in Israel can continue their work without interruption. Even a small monthly contribution adds up to a great impact over time.
Is the Tribe impacting Palestinians?
During war or peace the Tribe can make a Gospel difference in the life of Palestinians, including someone in Gaza, through the work of an Israeli ministry.
One of our local partners helps patients from Gaza receive medical care in Israel. Musa, a Muslim background believer, met Samira when she sought help for her son with epilepsy. He treated them with kindness and introduced them to Jesus.
Back in Gaza, Samira continued studying the Scriptures and joined a weekly broadcast, coincidentally put on by another local partner of FIRM. And we have great news to share with you: she decided to give her life to Jesus!
During another visit to the hospital with her son, Samira was baptized in Jerusalem. Eventually, she went back to Gaza determined to share Jesus with her neighbors. Please keep Samira in your prayers.
Start Making a Difference Today
Joining the Tribe is simple. Setting up your monthly donation only takes a few minutes, and you can update or pause it at any time. And it has a great benefit: the peace of mind knowing that you’re helping in an ongoing way.
Together, we can achieve so much more. And staying connected every month – rather than giving a one-time donation – makes us a part of a larger, ongoing effort.
When thousands of us give just a little each month, we create a movement of positive change—one that lasts and grows stronger over time.
“I’ve been contributing to various Messianic ministries since becoming aware of them through my own faith journey,” Rachael of the Tribe shared. “But after Oct. 7th, it felt more urgent and important to do so – to take a stand for Israel in the face of increased antisemitism.”
To make a lasting impact requires consistent support. That is why long-term support is critical for ministries in Israel.
Stories of Lives Transformed
All Tribe members receive monthly updates detailing their impact, to see the difference they are making. You can hear the stories of transformed lives and see the impact your gifts are making in Israel, when you sign up to give month after month.
“My mother always taught me that Israel was special to God,” a Tribe member said. “So, from my youth, I have always had a special place in my heart for Israel, although I didn’t fully understand the significance.
“The way I see Israel today has been shaped from studying the Word of God and reading about the love the LORD has for the ‘apple of His eye’ and His covenant with His chosen people. As I read and study Bible prophecy, my support and love for Israel and the Jewish people has grown.”
When asked what Israel meant to her, another Tribe member, Lynda, said: “It means Everything to me — because it means everything to my Lord.”
How Can I Bless the Land that Blesses Me?
Murray, a member of the Tribe, pointed out something that many in the Tribe resonate with: “The people of Israel are my people, because of the blood of Yeshua.”
We recognize that God chose Israel to send the message of Salvation to the entire world. Humbled and grateful, we want to make sure that the people of Israel receive this message as well!
People, like you, from all around the world, are giving anything they can to see God’s purposes for Israel accomplished in our generation. We believe that one day, Israel will be transformed by the love of Jesus. And we are going to celebrate that day together.
No Detail Too Small for God
FIRM local partners are touching lives with the Gospel on a daily basis in the most practical ways.
One Tribe member told us how up to the age of 16 she never saw a dentist, because her family couldn’t afford it. And even at 16, it was only because of a medical emergency. She finally got dental insurance for the first time in her life when she got married.
That is why she had always had a heart to help people who needed dental work but didn’t have the resources. Now you may think, wow, that is very particular! But God knew and had an answer for her ready.
Through her church, this faithful supporter of Israel met the founder of HaTikva Project. And imagine: HaTikva Project has a dental ministry to the Jewish people! When you give to the Tribe, you are making an impact in all areas of society in Israel through the hands of local believers, with a Gospel focus.
Join the Tribe Today!
Maybe there is a very particular way in which you would like to see the love of Jesus to spread across Israel. Would you share that with us?
Through the Tribe, you can support gospel-centered ministries that are transforming lives in Israel. We cover operating expenses privately so that 100% of your donation goes directly towards local ministry work.
“How could I say I love the LORD and not love and support what He loves?” Our friend who supports the dental ministry in Israel asked this valid question. So, pray about it today and decide before entering tomorrow: will you join the Tribe of people who help make things happen in Israel for the sake of God’s Kingdom?
