Root & Branch: Christians Harvesting Olives in Israel
Root & Branch is the newest hands-on, meaningful, and tangible way for Christians to make a personal connection to Israel, the Israeli people, and to be a blessing to the people and nation which is still suffering from the trauma of horrific terrorist attack, and war. Root & Branch offers unique comfort and a vision of peace.

Harvest Help
Last year since the war started, volunteers helped to maintain Israeli agriculture to the tune of $50 million. Root & Branch will be significant economically and symbolically, in many ways.
-
Biblical Significance
Root & Branch is a powerful reminder of the injunction in Romans 11 that Christians are grafted into the covenant that God made with the Jewish people, that the Root supports the Branch.
-
Economic Impact
Proceeds from the olive oil and other olive products will directly benefit these devastated communities making Root & Branch a critical and significant project to bless Israel economically and spiritually, in many ways.

Community Connection
Other than showing support through our presence and tangible help, we will also get to meet, interact, and create meaningful relationships with Israelis along the Gaza border whose lives were impacted by the October 7 attack, and since.

Showing Unconditional Love to Israel and the Jewish People
Spiritual Connection
Root & Branch is a powerful reminder of the injunction in Romans 11 that Christians are grafted into the covenant that God made with the Jewish people, and that the Root supports the Branch.
Tangible Support
We will harvest olives for which there is a strong commercial benefit to these communities, and in which they will receive material blessing as well. Olives and the olive tree are so symbolic, this will have an impact nationally as well.
Building Relationships
As the powerful program that it is, we have a very big long-term vision. But we view our plans this year as laying the cornerstone, and beginning to develop meaningful relations that will also be long term.
Agricultural Pilgrimage
Root & Branch combines an agricultural pilgrimage along with touring and spiritually uplifting activities, including getting to know Israelis of all backgrounds throughout the Gaza border area communities most impacted on October 7.
