A message from our ad partner:

Two thousand years ago, angels announced “peace on earth” over a quiet hillside near Bethlehem. Today that same region remains anything but quiet.

This Christmas you can bless Israel & Her Neighbors in Jesus’ name. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we’re also witnessing a renewed spiritual and geopolitical shaking across Israel and her neighbors.

Historic shifts—like expanding interest in the Abraham Accords—continue to reshape the Epicenter.

At the same time, violence against Jews is rising, as we saw with the anti-Semitic terror attack in Australia.

We are reminded that hatred, fear, and spiritual darkness know no borders—spiritually or geographically. The battle for hearts and minds is real—and it’s intensifying.

For over 2,000 years, Christianity has struggled to take root in the very land where Jesus lived, taught, died, and rose again.

The place where He commissioned His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations” has become one of the most difficult regions in the world to openly follow Him.

And yet—God is at work.

Despite increasing hostility, believers across Israel and the Middle East are standing firm.

• Ministries are sharing the Gospel.
• Congregations are being strengthened.
• Practical aid is opening doors for eternal hope.

But they cannot do this alone.

Scripture reminds us in Genesis 12, “I will bless those who bless you.” This is not a slogan. It is a promise from God Himself.

This Christmas, you have an opportunity to bless Israel and Her Neighbors in the name of Jesus—right at a moment when it matters deeply.

Your Christmas gift today helps make ministry possible by:

• Providing food and essential resources for families in need
• Supporting pastors and their families serving in hostile regions
• Covering critical expenses for a mother and her newborn for an entire year

While the world debates peace, you can participate in God’s purposes.

This is a moment for faith—not fear—and for action, not hesitation.

This Christmas, as you reflect on the miracle of Christ’s birth, will you also respond to the urgency of His mission?

Please give generously today to The Joshua Fund.

Bless Israel and Her Neighbors—and trust God to bring the blessing He promised.

Thank you for standing with believers in the Epicenter and for being part of what God is doing right now.

Merry Christmas, and may the peace of Christ fill your heart and home.

In Christ,

P.S. Moments like these remind us that the Epicenter is close to God’s heart. Please take a moment to pray—and, as the Lord leads, make a Christmas gift today to bless Israel & Her Neighbors in Jesus’ name.
