Christian Friends of Israel-America Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
BURLESON, TX – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Christian Friends of Israel-America of Burleson, TX.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Christian Friends of Israel-America joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 35 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.
“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to comforting and supporting the people of Israel, and to inform Christians around the world of God's plans for Israel,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2005, Christian Friends of Israel-America (www.cfiamerica.org) have received from God a love for Israel and the Jewish people. They want to bless them in the name of the Lord. Christian Friends of Israel-America believe the Lord Jesus is both the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world; however, their stand alongside Israel is not conditional upon her acceptance of their belief. They teach the Church's responsibility toward the Jewish people, and bring awareness to the Jewish people of their solidarity with them.
