Pastor Gift Ideas

The pastor gift ideas listed below are just some thoughts to help you get creative. The best pastor gifts are ones that are personal – that show you know their needs and that you care.

I am particularly proud of my partnership with the Jewish National Fund. They are working to re-forest many parts of Israel. War and drought have robbed the country of much of it's natural beauty. JNF is restoring it to it's former condition. Honor your pastor by buying trees to be planted in Israel.

Restore the natural beauty of Israel in honor of your pastor. Plant trees in Israel in your pastor's name.
