The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry - Canada

What The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry - Canada does

The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry—Canada (FOI Canada) is an independent, evangelical Christian faith mission and registered Canadian charity (BN 8668 66684 RR0001) founded in 1998 and headquartered at a Toronto PO Box address. Its stated mission is to bring physical and spiritual comfort to the Jewish people while teaching about Israel and the Messiah. The organization operates under the umbrella of the broader international FOI ministry established in 1938, while maintaining financial and operational independence from its sister offices in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

FOI Canada's product and service portfolio centers on biblical education and outreach. Core offerings include the flagship Israel My Glory magazine in print and digital subscriptions, the annual PROCLAIM Nationwide Bible Conference that tours across Canadian provinces, an extensive catalog of books, DVDs, audio CDs, eBooks, posters, and apparel sold through store.foicanada.org, the Up to Jerusalem educational tour to Israel, and the FOI Canada Digital Media App for on-demand content. A network of 8 Ministry Representatives serves churches and Jewish communities across Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta. Programs include the Hanukkah Gift Box Ministry, Campus Outreach, the Tikvah Team volunteer network, Cruizin' For Zion mobile ministry, International Relief to Jewish communities in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Argentina, and Israel Relief and outreach. The technology backbone is a Squarespace-hosted website with no exposed API or proprietary platform.

The business model is donation-driven. Primary revenue is tax-deductible charitable gifts from Bible-believing churches and individuals, accepted via online giving, mail-in cheques, toll-free phone, and pre-authorized monthly debit withdrawals on the 15th of each month. Secondary revenue comes from product sales through the online store and recurring magazine subscriptions. Stewardship services offer planned giving through charitable gift annuities, donor advised funds, and estate gifts. Marketing is multi-channel: a weekly eNewsletter (Up Close with FOI Canada), social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Rumble, Telegram, X), and annual events. The organization publishes audited financial statements annually, has no parent company, and is governed by an active board of trustees.
