They Never Take a Rest

It won't hurt, in their minds, if the children playing on these playgrounds will grow up with kind feelings towards xians because of their "generosity." Their long-term goal is that these chlidren will one day be open to hearing about their "gospel" as a result.


Christian-Jewish Fellowship to Build Israel Playgrounds
Reported: 19:19 PM - Jul/01/09

(IsraelNN.com) The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is joining forces with Na'amat, Emunah and WIZO to contribute to the construction of 51 playgrounds at 22 day care centers in Israel, JPost reported. The IFCJ committed NIS 1.4 million toward the project.

"[We] are happy to have the opportunity to contribute to the children of Israel. The Fellowship will continue to initiate partnerships which will strengthen Israeli society," said IFCJ founder and President Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein. He said the IFCJ chose to sponsor playgrounds because they promote healthy development. The IFCJ annually donates close to $60 million to Israeli causes, particularly to poor neighborhoods that lack adequate infrastructure. It is funded by donations from pro-Israel Evangelical Christians.
