To the Jew First
In an exciting new campaign, your Mission to the Jewish People will focus
on three areas in 2020: Israel, Digital Evangelism, and Training the Next
Generation. Your year-end support for this yields a great tax benefit, too!
Thank you for faithfully sharing the
Messiah with Jewish people everywhere.
We are grateful that you appreciate the
importance of the Apostle Paul’s declaration …
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for
it is the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes, to the Jew first …”
(Romans 1:16).
This Scripture is the basis for the launch
of our 125th anniversary To the Jew First
campaign. As you consider supporting this
important effort with your year-end giving,
you will bless multitudes of Jewish people
with the message of their Messiah—and reap
tax benefits, too. Some options for strategic
giving by December 31:
For more information about these and other tax-wise ways to give at year’s end, contact
