IFCJ's 'Flags of Fellowship' Campaign More Than Doubles Participation, Expands Internationally

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship) announced that its third annual 'Flags of Fellowship' (FOF) campaign has more than doubled its participation since last year. The initiative will involve over 4,375 churches, synagogues, universities, and organizations across 13 countries, collectively planting more than 5.2 million flags in October as a gesture of remembrance and solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people.

The campaign, taking place from early October through the end of the month, aims to demonstrate support for Israel and the Jewish community amidst a global rise in antisemitism. Participating entities will display fields of 1,200 mini Israeli flags and host special events. 'Flags of Fellowship' has significantly expanded beyond the U.S. and Canada, with over 1,775 international churches and organizations participating from 11 countries, including Australia, Kenya, and the UAE.

The FOF movement has shown rapid growth, starting in 2024 with over 220 participating organizations and growing to more than 1,300 last year. International expansion has been facilitated by a new hub model, where prominent churches act as regional distribution centers. Approximately 1,050 churches from Colombia, Mexico, and Guatemala are participating through this network.

In response to the October 7 attacks, The Fellowship has also committed $432 million in aid to Israel. This aid addresses emergency needs, including food, water, and security equipment, as well as supporting those making aliyah and vulnerable populations affected by the ongoing conflict.
