PRAYER FOR ISRAEL 

The first concern of PFI is prayer for Messianic and Arab believers in the Biblical land of Israel. Prayer partners also direct their giving to provide practical support and relieve hardship and distress in Israel and elsewhere.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
