JERUSALEM, Israel, Jan. 24, 2012 /Christian
Newswire/ -- With rising instability in the Middle East and experts
predicting a major earthquake, Heart to Heart is launching a virtual blood
donation campaign to maintain a plentiful blood supply for the State of Israel.
Heart to Heart exclusively supports Israel's national blood bank which always
needs to increase its capacity and supply to be prepared for every emergency. As
Israel's population nears 8 million, and with the need for Israel to maximize
and protect its' blood supply, Heart to Heart is the right answer at the right
time. "Since all blood in Israel is donated voluntarily, and the expenses to
sustain a steady supply of blood are ever increasing as the population and needs
increase, Heart to Heart campaign will underwrite these costs and provide extra
funds for the future," Heart to Heart Director, Jonathan Feldstein, said.
For a $100, a person can save three lives in Israel. "For people looking for a
meaningful way to bless Israel, save lives, and fulfill the biblical mandate of
Genesis 12:3, a virtual blood donation is a way to accomplish three goals,"
Feldstein added.
Heart to Heart partner Pastor Brian Jacobs noted, "When a member of my church
introduced me to Heart to Heart, I jumped at the chance to participate,
personally and for my whole church. Since I have spoken often about our
obligation to bless Israel, Heart to Heart gives a direct action that we can
undertake in addition to our prayers. As a Christian, Heart to Heart gives us
the opportunity to express our solidarity with Israel and a vehicle to honor
Israel."
Heart to Heart will be featured at the National Religious Broadcasters
convention in Nashville, February 19-21 and representatives available to be
interviewed and explore partnerships to carry out its' mission. For partnership
information or to join Heart to Heart, please email us at
hearttoheart@afmda.org, or visit

Heart to Heart is a project of American Friends of Magen David Adom, (www.afmda.org)
a non-profit organization devoted exclusively to saving lives in Israel for more
than seven decades.
