Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Publishing - books, music, videos; all to strengthen the Messianic community in Israel\nFellowship of Artists Community - music publishing, supporting creative artists, building strong musicians and artists in Israel\nIstandwithIsrael - humanitarian aid\nMaoz Israel Report - monthly publication distributed all over the world, with current information about life and culture in Israel

Publishing books every year - obtaining rights for translation, translating, printing and marketing those materials\nPublishing new works of art - music, video, compositions, new worship songs\nGiving out funds and help to over 300 families in 2020 - for education, housing, food, clothing\nPublished 10,000 copies of the Maoz Israel Report by mail, and over 30,000 by email

We have over 5,000 ministry partners and churches and congregations around the world who we are asking to give to help us accomplish this goal. We have 7 international offices who also have financial partners, who we are asking to help us financially.

We continue all these initiatives, and have been quite successful in building a reputation among the Messianic community in Israel of generosity, integrity, and capable leadership.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
Policies and processes
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
