DALLAS, TX – As Israel faces unprecedented challenges on multiple fronts, a groundbreaking initiative to restore devastated farmlands and strengthen security in Israel’s biblical heartland will take center stage at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention in Dallas. The Israel Magen Fund, which has emerged as a vital force in protecting and developing Israel’s most vulnerable regions, will partner with Israel365 during the final week of February to present innovative solutions that merge ancient prophecy with modern resilience.

David Rose, Founder and CEO of the Israel Magen Fund, along with Director Menachem Bar-Shalom, will present two major initiatives that resonate deeply with the Christian Zionist community: the Northern Orchards Project and the Ranches in Judea and Samaria Project. These initiatives address both immediate crisis response and long-term biblical fulfillment in the land of Israel.

The Northern Orchards Project takes on particular significance in light of recent events, as it aims to restore agricultural lands devastated by Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel. The project focuses on replanting fruit trees across seven kibbutzim that suffered extensive damage, with some communities losing up to 80% of their arable land. The restoration of these orchards brings to life the words of Amos 9:14: “And I will bring back the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.”

The Ranches in Judea and Samaria Project represents another vital initiative that strengthens Israel’s biblical heartland. The project supports approximately 80 hilltop ranches and farms stretching across 110 miles of Judea and Samaria, where young Israeli families maintain a presence through agriculture and animal husbandry. These modern pioneers produce award-winning wines from their vineyards and manage livestock across 105,000 acres of state-owned lands, continuing the ancient connection between the Jewish people and their ancestral homeland.

During the convention, the Israel Magen Fund will participate in Israel365’s “Israel War Room: Next Frontier” experience, running February 25-27 at the Gaylord Convention Center. This powerful 40-minute immersive journey takes visitors through Israel’s biblical heartland, from ancient Hebron to Bethlehem, where biblical history meets modern reality. Led by prominent Christian and Jewish leaders including Dr. Jim Garlow, Rosemary Schindler, Laurie Cardozo Moore, Rabbi Pinchas Taylor, and Gil Hoffman, the experience combines personal testimonies from Israeli settlers with real-time simulations that demonstrate why these ancestral lands remain crucial to Israel’s security and sovereignty. Through this unique presentation, visitors will walk the paths of Abraham, David, and the prophets while understanding the strategic importance of cities like Bethel and Shiloh in today’s context.

Immediately following the NRB Convention, the Israel Magen Fund will serve as a sponsor of the 3rd Annual Israel365 Shabbat: Jews & Christians United for Israel, further strengthening its ties with the Dallas community.

The organization’s appearance at the NRB Convention comes at a critical time when support for Israel’s security and development is particularly vital. Established in 2022, the Israel Magen Fund has already made significant contributions to security infrastructure across Israel, including the donation of ten firefighting ATVs and Razrs, along with drones, perimeter lighting equipment, and medical supplies to communities in need.

The Northern Orchards Project specifically targets seven kibbutzim – Malkiya, Manara, Amir, Eilon, Kfar Szold, Hulata, and Dafna – which previously housed over 5,000 residents and cultivated a diverse range of crops including apples, kiwi, cherries, plums, citrus fruits, avocados, and bananas. The restoration of these agricultural communities represents not just an economic necessity but a powerful symbol of resilience and renewal in the face of adversity.

For Christian Zionists attending the NRB Convention, these projects offer tangible ways to support Israel while witnessing the fulfillment of biblical prophecies in real-time. The Israel Magen Fund is also currently running a cause match campaign for its Empower IDF Soldiers project, which provides essential tactical gear and equipment not supplied by the army. This initiative supports soldiers in the Yeshiva Hesder program – a unique track that combines intensive Bible study with military service, producing warriors who defend Israel with both spiritual and physical strength.
