2025 Impact Report

How you impacted Israel & the Jewish people

In 2025, 100% of your donations were distributed to 81 different Gateway partners in 17 countries around the world, totaling $2,129,520!

(None of these funds are used for our internal ministry, staff, travel, or operations.)

The Reality for Israel & the Jewish People

Over the past year, Israel has continued to walk through one of the most challenging seasons in its modern history that started on October 7, 2023. Families across the land have lived with the daily realities of war, running to bomb shelters, sending loved ones into military service, and navigating ongoing uncertainty. At the same time, Jewish communities around the world have experienced a sharp and sobering rise in antisemitism.

Yet amid these challenges, something deeply meaningful has been strengthened: the connection between believers in the Nations and the body of Messiah in Israel. As one of our partners recently shared with us, "the relationship between our brothers and sisters in the nations and Messiah's body in the land is important and deeply needed."

Now more than ever, this relationship matters.

We are continually reminded and deeply grateful that God has positioned you, our global family, to stand as intercessors, supporters, and faithful friends of Israel & the Jewish people. Your prayers, your generosity, and your steadfast commitment have made a real and measurable impact. It is our privilege to share with you how your giving has strengthened lives, restored hope, and carried the love of Yeshua across Israel and the rest of the Jewish world.

A Note About This Report

You will notice that we have intentionally withheld the names of specific ministries in this report. Our desire is to protect relationships, honor sensitive work on the ground, and keep the focus on the impact rather than the platform. However, if you ever have questions, want to know more, or would like to give directly to a specific ministry, we would be honored to personally connect you.

Israel Crisis Relief & Humanitarian Aid

In a year marked by war and displacement, your giving met urgent, life-altering needs.

If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness.

Isaiah 58:10

Through your generosity, $339,000 was given to help with Crisis Relief:

$50k

invested into national trauma care and healing centers

$25k

provided for justice and legal support for war victims

$50k

to secure family-homes (Kibbutzim)

$10k

supported Ethiopian Jewish community humanitarian aid

Thousands

received emergency care, shelter, and support

You helped bring stability, dignity, and hope to families living in crisis—fulfilling the call to "defend the cause of the weak and fatherless." (Psalm 82:3–4)

At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

Romans 15:25

— One of our ministry partners

Your giving didn't just meet needs, it planted seeds of eternal transformation and generational blessing.

If you give yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness, and your gloom will be like midday. Then ADONAI will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in drought and strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.

Psalm 82:3

Messianic Congregations & Discipleship

You helped strengthen and expand the body of Messiah in Israel by:

  • Supporting thriving congregations like an Ethiopian Israeli Hebrew-speaking community in Jerusalem
  • Expanding congregations in Tel Aviv, Nazareth, and Netanya
  • Supporting a growing Bible school in Israel that is the only Messianic, Spirit-filled Bible college in the land of Israel
  • In the U.S: supported a Messianic synagogue in Maryland (El Shaddai), a congregation in Washington, and a Messianic church right here in Dallas

As Paul writes, "There is a remnant chosen by grace" (Romans 11:5)—and you are helping strengthen that remnant in Israel today.

Through one key Messianic Jewish ministry, we stewarded your faithful giving to see:

Outreach & Sharing the Love of Yeshua

Your generosity helped share the love of Jesus in culturally meaningful and powerful ways.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation… to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:16

Nine salvations and 50+ new connections to a congregation

This is the Gospel going forth—with an awareness of the importance of Jewish identity—through love, service, and relationship.

In a nation carrying deep trauma, your giving helped bring healing.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

  • Funded major trauma recovery centers across Israel
  • Supported a ministry addressing sexual abuse within faith communities
  • Hosted a week-long healing retreat for 38 individuals (8 families) impacted by war
  • Supported PTSD recovery efforts for soldiers and families

You helped create spaces where people could encounter not only healing, but the presence of God.

We helped support a strategic legal ministry as they provided:

5K+

$10M

Center For Israel

Our team donates 100% of your contributions to ministries that serve and bless the Jewish people worldwide. Yet our team also advances our mission to inspire the global Church to love the Jewish people through educational initiatives. Gateway Church anchors this work by paying for our administrative and operational costs, which means we multiply our impact with other churches, Jewish ministries and Jewish partners.

Many of our partners have reached out to us to share how our content has blessed them, their congregations, or their families.

One ministry in Israel is using our podcast Covenant & Conflict to help former Muslims who have come to Yeshua as they begin to wrestle through the reality of God's ongoing covenant with Israel. This has been a stumbling block for many of these new believers who equate the concept of "Israel" with trauma they have experienced.

Final Word

I hope this report has given you some understanding of just how important your 2025 financial support was to our ministry mission to Israel & the Jewish people. When we reflect on all God has done, we don’t just see numbers. We see changed lives, hope restored, and the name of Yeshua lifted high across Israel and the Jewish world.

Thank you for continuing to display the heart of God through your generous giving, for loving the Jewish people, and for living out the call: to the Jew first.

As Scripture says in Psalm 122: “May all who love Jerusalem prosper!” …and that includes YOU!
