The ministry is requesting that Christians light a candle in their window at sundown on the first night of Hanukkah, December 7 and keep it lit through sundown on December 15, to honor the Jewish community and to stand in solidarity with Israel during this time of crisis.
Downloadable, printable signs to affix to the window alongside the candle are available at foi.org/shine. For more details on this and other initiatives, follow The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry on Facebook or visit foi.org/truth.
