What MAOZ CANADA does

Maoz Israel Ministries is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit founded in 1976 by Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram, with leadership transitioned in January 2021 to Kobi and Shani Ferguson. The organization is headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel, and operates eight international branch offices (USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Brazil, and South Korea) with a website supporting 14 languages. Its mission is to strengthen the small community of Messianic believers in Israel (a population estimated at less than 30,000) through congregational support, worship music production, Hebrew publishing, and humanitarian aid.

The organization's operating model is delivered through five sub-brands: Maoz Outreach (supporting over 100 Jewish and Arab congregations including youth ministries, street missions, and conferences); Maoz Music (recording Israeli worship in Hebrew, Arabic, and English from a 3,000+ sq. ft. Jerusalem studio under the Fellowship of Artists umbrella); Maoz Publishing (more than 200 Hebrew Bibles and faith-building books, including a unique narrated chronological Hebrew Bible with built-in dictionary); Maoz Aid, operating the I Stand With Israel benevolence fund launched in 2002 (over $12 million in aid distributed to terror victims, widows, orphans, and families in need); and Arab Ministry.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations, with no goods or services sold. Donations are accepted via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, check, cash, and bank wire, plus SMS-driven giving. Distribution channels include direct church and conference engagement (speaker bureau and worship team bookings), music streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, and the Maoz Israel Report publication. The organization holds Platinum ratings from Charity Navigator and Candid (GuideStar) and is a member of ECFA, signaling externally validated financial transparency. Maoz Canada is a regional branch of this international ministry network.
