JOSHUA FUND HELPING FEED THE POOR IN NORTHERN ISRAEL

PROJECT UPDATE: As part of our "Operation Epicenter" humanitarian relief strategy, The Joshua Fund is helping feed the poor in northern Israel. Over the next three years, we will help Bridges For Peace, a highly-respected Christian Zionist organization based in Jerusalem, purchase 400 tons of food to be distributed to Jews in severe need in towns along the border with Lebanon, as well pre-position food supplies ahead of the next war. TJF has already financed more than 70 tons of food, and with your generous help, we will do more -- approximately 10 tons a month. Pictured here is Jim Solberg, a senior BFP leader, in a new warehouse and food distribution center in the Israeli city of Carmiel.
