Christian Friends of Israeli Communities was established in 1995, in response to the Oslo Process, which ceded land to the Arabs in the heart of Biblical Israel. For more than a decade, CFOIC Heartland has stood steadfastly with those Jews who are at greatest risk in Israel – those whose very homes are threatened with destruction, those who face terrorism on a daily basis, those whose core values and daily lives are based on Biblical principles. Since August 2005, CFOIC Heartland has been the Christian vehicle for support of those Jews who were forced from their homes in the Gaza Strip.
