First Century Foundations, formerly known as 'Operation Outreach', was founded in 1985 with a mission to bless the land and people of Israel through the love of God. Over the years, the organization has expanded its reach, teaching believers about the Hebraic roots of Christianity and spreading this message through digital media. In 2020, First Century Foundations USA was launched to extend the vision of prayer and blessing to partners in the United States.

The organization is dedicated to helping people understand the words and deeds of Jesus from a first-century Jewish perspective. They provide resources based on these teachings, available for purchase on their website. Additionally, First Century Foundations runs a prayer network to support Israel and believers in the nation who are involved in good works.

At its core, First Century Foundations is committed to demonstrating the love of God through practical and humanitarian efforts. They support over 70 ministries in Israel, providing assistance such as food and clothing distribution, support for single mothers, and aid for Holocaust survivors. These ministries reach out to various nationalities, including refugees and immigrants from Sudan, Russia, and neighboring Arab countries.

Since 1985, First Century Foundations has been offering tours to Israel, giving participants the opportunity to explore the rich history and culture of the land. The tours include visits to significant biblical and historical locations, such as Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River. The organization also has a television program called First Century Foundations, where viewers can delve into the archaeological background and biblical teachings, as well as hear testimonies from the local ministries supported by the organization.

Led by dedicated individuals, including Executive Director Jeff Futers, First Century Foundations continues to expand its impact and effectiveness in Israel. They invite individuals and organizations to support their mission through donations and encourage people to subscribe to their eNews updates to stay connected and informed. With a focus on Israel and the Jewish roots of Christianity, First Century Foundations aims to turn hearts around the world towards the land, people, and God of Israel
