Why are you focusing your efforts on Jewish believers in Russia, rather than Jewish people in general? Wouldn’t it be better to help all Jewish people, irrespective of their beliefs?

If we had the resources at our disposal to help everyone, then yes, certainly, we would help all Jewish people in the former Soviet Union. After all, they all share many of the same needs—and in some ways, the need of unbelievers for eternal life is the most important and critical need of all! However, our resources are limited and so we have no choice but to prioritize the way those resources are utilized. The New Testament teaches that our first and foremost duty as Christians is to help our fellow believers: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). Paul’s words are very clear: our number one priority must be to assist our fellow believers in Jesus the Messiah.

However, this does not mean that we do not also provide help for some who are not believers. On the contrary, we do everything in our power to minister to them in the Name of Yeshua the Messiah. Furthermore, when they receive help, they also get the Gospel!
