When the King of Persia was directed by God to let the Jewish people return to their land, it was written, "And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered" (Ezra 1:6).

Today, we see once again an ingathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel and we believe that Christians now have a golden opportunity to assist by offering their valuable gifts and services. In Romans 15:27, it states "for if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things."

This project meets a goal of building a relationship between Christians and Jews here in Israel. Christ Jesus taught us to meet the physical and spiritual needs of His chosen people. This is especially important in Israel as confirmed in I Corinthians 1:22, "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom." The Jewish mentality expects action, not just words, to express love. Not only do the Jewish people seek a sign to see the power of God's love but they want a tangible sign to see the love expressed by Christians who care. This is a practical way for us to show the love of God.

Because high inflation has encumbered Israel's limited budget, many basic needs go unattended. This is not because of a lack of desire of the people, only a lack of means. Therefore, the needs are great for new immigrants from Ethiopia, the former Soviet Union, Yemen and other locations around the world from which Jews are returning to Israel.

Project Nehemiah ("Nehemiah" means "comfort" in the Hebrew language) provides many different forms of help to Israel. We provide tangible gifts and direct assistance, such as our Welcome Kitchen Baskets, blankets, food parcels and other such needful items. Through our Project Nehemiah Distribution Center in Rishon Letzion, gifts are given throughout Israel directly to new immigrants and to others of Israel's needy by our Project Nehemiah staff.
