CHRISTIAN FRIENDS OF ISRAEL – JERUSALEM
was founded in 1985 , when RAY and SHARON SANDERS moved to ISRAEL from the USA, with the vision of bridging the gap between Christians and Jews . They stayed during many Israeli conflicts, to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people, and started many outreach programs to lift up those in need through monetary donations and clothing. Ray and Sharon have emphasized the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith.
