Jerusalem Marathon 2020

This year on March 20th, 40,000 runners are taking part in the Jerusalem Marathon, running where the biblical prophets have walked. A group of Bridges for Peace volunteers and 10 students on our Feed a Child program will be running as well to raise funds to help needy Israeli children. Imagine! Christians and Jews running together to bless Israel.

A shocking one in every three Israeli children lives at or below the national poverty line. Bridges for Peace is committed to help break the cycle of lack by lifting them from poverty and unlocking the door to a more prosperous future. Thanks to Bridges for Peace and the generous donations from Christians around the world, 400 needy school children sit down to a hot, nutritious lunch every school day and receive much-needed textbooks, school supplies, birthday gifts, a new backpack each year, funding for school outings and computers or tablets—all the supplies and support they need to help them achieve their academic aspirations. By meeting their basic needs, we place them on even footing with their more privileged classmates and allow them to fully focus on their studies.

Many more children need our help. Our aim is to raise $25,000.

You can help by giving a one-time gift or by supporting a child for a year by pledging $60 per month.

The money you give will help children break free from the cycle of poverty and help them embark on a bright future. Will you join us as we run the race to show Christian love and support to the people of Israel? Will you help us pour out blessings on more needy Israeli children?
