Mission and Program Overview
Mission
To teach reconciliation of problems between Jews and Arabs, and teaching the Church about the Jewish roots of Christianity and how to pray for Israel.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| Light of Zion continued its work in training Christian leaders from around the world through a course it developed and taught about Israel and the Bible. We continued expanding our teaching on prayer by providing extensive written materials in several languages, and helped open a house of prayer in a nearby Middle Eastern country. We led weekly prayer meetings in Jerusalem for Israel and the Middle East and traveled to Asia to impart to thousands of church leaders in countries there. Our benevolence ministry to the poor and informed believers in Israel grew, and we were able to assist many with medical needs. | $12,450 | $98,987 |
