Terri Byrd For Israel — Furnishing Families of Texas

You can also send money directly to Terri via Zelle: Zbyrd1958@att.net. This will bypass all processing fees so that she receives more of the funds. We will, however, be unable to provide a tax deductible receipt for Zelle donations.

Hello Friends!

As you may know, Furnishing Families of Texas is a subset of Furnishing Families International! We have focused primarily on our region but feel called to impact the world

Our very own Case Worker and Outreach Chaplain Terri Byrd will be heading back to Israel this October, and we wanted to invite our network to help support this work. She will be going for a 3-month missions trip to minister to the nation, serving families and soldiers in the kibbutzes and on the Gaza border, a year after the historic attacks.

This trip will allow her to both serve its residents and build long-term relationships with partnering ministries for when she transitions to living there full time in the near future. Currently, the country's visa policy only allows for a maximum duration of a 3 months visit for non-residents.

She believes that like Queen Esther she is being sent "for such a time as this." The nation is in turmoil and its people need to know the Messiah now more than ever. This trip will strategically be during the one year anniversary of last year's attack on October 7th, as well as during the fall feasts of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

All donations made on this page through Furnishing Families International (501c3) are tax deductible and will be sent to Terri as she acts as an extension of the ministry.

We were given a tour in Be'eri and needed to wear armored protection due to being close to the Gaza border.

Nearly all of these photos are from Terri's first trip to Israel in December of 2023 for the Hope and Healing Tour through FIRM (Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries), an organization that partners with 70+ different ministries throughout the nation of Israel. On this trip, Terri's team ministered to the physical and spiritual needs of soldiers and refugee families and children.

Most notable was her visit to Be'eri after the military assault had just occurred on October 7th 2023, where Israel sustained over 1200 casualties, and 240 hostages were taken. It was the most concentrated attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

Terri Byrd is the Outreach Chaplain and Family Services Social Worker for Furnishing Families of Texas, a subsidiary of Furnishing Families International. As a social worker with more than 30 years experience, her heart is serve those in need as an Ambassador of Jesus Christ.
