Friends of Nazareth (FON).  The FON ministry is a 501 (c)(3) corporation that is dedicated to supporting the Nazareth Baptist School. FON serves at the invitation of the Nazareth Baptist School (NBS), Nazareth Israel.  

Nazareth Baptist School (NBS).  The school is the only recognized Evangelical Christian School for kindergarten through 12th grade in Israel. NBS began in 1935 as a ministry of Southern Baptists. The present-day main campus was built to accommodate 250 students. Today there are about 800 K, and 4th-12th grade students as well as about 100 staff on the crowded campus. Two hundred (200) 1st - 3rd grade students meet in a small rented property near the main campus. At any time, there are more than 150 prospective students on the waiting list for admission. Many others are turned away because the NBS facilities as well as the staff are stretched beyond capacity.


In 1991 the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention realigned their priorities. As a result of this realignment, they stopped subsidizing NBS. This seriously decreased the financial base of the school. Local leaders were given the responsibility for moving the school forward in spite of the decreased funding. These leaders committed to retain the evangelical roots of the school. By God's grace and blessing, the school has grown numerically, academically, and spiritually. The government provides a portion of the costs; parents pay a substantial amount for tuition; and donors help provide money and human resources for evangelistic outreach programs, facility updates and some academic enrichment programs.
