Project Shield: Give life in times of war.

In Jewish tradition, the Magen David or "Shield of David," signifies more than a mere symbol. It embodies God's role as the ultimate protector.

Psalm 18:2 proclaims, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Through Project Shield, we aim to extend this divine protection to the people of Israel in a tangible way.

Why the number 18?

Donating in multiples of 18 isn't a mere coincidence. In Hebrew, each letter is attributed a numerical value, and for the word "chai" - which means life - the value is 18.

Your donation in multiples of 18 is a prayer for life, a call for well-being, and a reflection of our collective belief in the sanctity of every life.

HOW YOUR DONATION MAKES AN IMPACT

Project Shield is about mobilizing care when and where it’s needed most, in the name of Jesus.

  • Relocating Israelis to safety as urgent needs arise, whether other cities or bomb shelters.

  • Building a Reserve Fund for instant access to facilitate fast-acting solutions.

  • Rebuilding and Restoring communities impacted by the continuing conflict.

Urgent Action, Immediate Impact

“Opening the gates of hell.”

“This is the end.”

These are just a couple of phrases being hurled at Israel and the United States by the Iranian government. The situation on the ground is volatile and urgent. With threats coming not just from Hamas and Gaza, but also from Hezbollah and other forces, the people and land of Israel are constantly in danger. Our goal is to have a reserve ready to act swiftly and save lives when necessary.

Together, We Are Giving LIFE.

We carry this heavy responsibility together. Each donation is a stand for life, a message of hope, and a tangible demonstration of the love Yeshua has for His people. Thank you for being a part of this urgent and vital mission.
