We are a worldwide evangelical ministry proclaiming biblical truth about Israel and The Messiah while bringing physical and spiritual comfort to the Jewish people.
The Australian ministry of The Friends of Israel was started in May 1992 with the establishment of an office in Adelaide.
In February 2004, Dr. Deane Woods was appointed Field Representative for The Friends of Israel Australia. Now after almost 20 years the ministry has field representatives in almost every state of Australia and in New Zealand as a direct result of Deane’s prayerful and persevering work to see the mission grow in this region.
Our work in Australia is similar to that in the United States: church visitation, Bible studies, making the ministry known in churches and Bible colleges, and training Christians to show love to their Jewish friends. The Friends of Israel maintains a bookstore in Adelaide that provides literature produced by the ministry. The Australian Shofar, is our newsletter communicating biblical and Jewish teaching articles, news and events that help our supporters stay informed.
