Help us meet our $25K match in 2025 for Giving Tuesday 

We at Friends of Nazareth are so thankful for our Lord‘s faithfulness and your partnership. We really could not do what we do without you.

On December 2, 2025, we will be participating in Giving Tuesday with a desire to meet some crucial needs on our campus in Nazareth. Thanks to a generous donor, we have the opportunity to match your gifts up to $25,000. Once matched, Friends of Nazareth and the Nazareth Baptist School will be able to address several immediate needs. Just a few among these are: 

• Kindergarten Play Area-$12,500

• Teacher’s lounge Ceiling, etc-$9,500

• Resurfacing Main School Yard-$13,900

Every gift, whether large or small, is a great blessing, and it helps us accomplish our task. You are enabling us to make a difference in Jesus' hometown while building the rising generations, glorifying Jesus Christ through distinctive education.

How You Can Be Involved:

• PRAY-continue to pray for the entire land of Israel and the Nazareth Baptist School, specifically ask the Lord to protect and provide for all of our needs.

• PARTNERING- travel with Friends of Nazareth to the holy land in the new year, serve in the Vacation Bible School or Potter’s Wheel camps, or become a monthly donor.

• PROMOTE- share the needs and opportunities and the vision of Nazareth Baptist School with your friends and associates.

For His Honor,
Friends of Nazareth Team

Come and See

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?”  Phillip said to him “Come and See.”  -John 1:46

Have you been to the Holy Land? Each year FON provides opportunities to support the Nazareth Baptist School and encourage believers. On these trips you will be able to serve where Jesus served. Partnering with Friends of Nazareth and the Nazareth Baptist School is indeed a life changing experience!

Help Us …Finish the Task

There is a sense of normalcy trying to return to Israel, Nazareth, and to Friends of Nazareth. Our prayer is that 2025 will indeed bring that and more!

We have now completed our four level, 4000 square foot Saferooms and we now hope to finish paying for them. Help FON #finishthetask. Also, now that these rooms are completed they each need to be furnished and equipped for daily classroom use. It will cost several thousand dollars to furnish each room with desks, chairs, television monitors, and smart boards. Perhaps you and your church can equip one of our classrooms. Reach out to our office for more information.

Friends of Nazareth is also excited about returning to Nazareth in the Summer for our VBS and Potter’s Wheel camps. After missing 2024, we and the students are so excited about the summer. FON will be taking multiple teams over to serve and staff these camps. If you or your church are interested in serving the longest running Evangelical camp in Israel, please contact our offices. (Camp information can be found on our Trips page).

We at Friends of Nazareth thank you for your prayers, gifts, and support.

Blessings,

Dr. Roger D. Mardis
