On May 9, 2024 the OFWI Task Force For Israel held its first event at the Revivaltime Tabernacle Downsview in Toronto, Canada.
Watch the event and take action to support Israel and the people of Gaza needing freed from Hamas.
Weaponzied misinformation and anti-Israel propaganda are deploying the same tactics that are common with Holocaust denialism. Variations of “they deserved it,” to “they are exaggerating or fabricating how bad it actually was,” to “they did it themselves to justify war” are shockingly mainstream.
History teaches us that left unchecked, this form of denialism fuels hatred and dehumanizes Jewish people around the world. In the extreme, it leads to violence or worse.
Raza’s family enjoying a family gathering in happier times.
Raza Muhammad and his family are being hunted by Islamic extremists in Pakistan for the “crime” of having faith in Jesus.
Earlier this year we shared news with you of violent attacks on Christians in Pakistan.
With elections on the horizon, radical Islamists are emboldened and are targeting one man who converted to Christianity and his family with life-threatening violence.
This brave man, Raza Muhammad, and his family need our help.
Extremist muftis have issued four fatwas against him and there is an open bounty on their head.
The Pakistani Government will not and cannot protect them.
They need our help to find refuge and we are launching a campaign to persuade the Canadian government to offer Raza and his family refugee status.
Visit the campaign page here on OFWI.org to learn more and add your voice to the petition calling for this family to be saved.

For the past week I have been in Israel, working with our team on the ground.
We have seen the worst and best of humanity.
The best, people mobilizing to help everyone in their hour of need.
Volunteers from all walks of life helping the thousands now without a home.
Volunteers making sure people have clothing, bedding, and the support they need to be able to rebuild.
People from around the world are donating to help Israel in their hour of need.
You can help too by donating at https://donorsee.com/project/20999.
I have also seen the worst of humanity.
I toured with the Israel Defence Forces the areas in the south of the country where Hamas carried out its deadly terrorist attack.
The destruction is devastating. The loss of life so tragic.
Families with loved ones taken hostage, praying but unsure if they will ever see them safely returned.
The hatred and antisemitism demands the world responds with moral clarity.
Our team will keep helping the victim support centers to ensure they have what they need.
Hamas will not win.
Hamas will not succeed.
Their hateful ideology will one day be put into the dustbin of history.
I wanted to share some of what we had witnessed in Israel.

Let's help Israel rebuild and recover.
We stand with Israel. 🇮🇱
We stand against antisemitism.
