IAF Mourns the passing of Joni Lamb

The Israel Allies Foundation is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Joni Lamb on May 7, 2026. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to her family, the Daystar Television Network team, and all whose lives she touched. Joni was a woman of deep faith, compassion, and bold conviction whose legacy will continue to touch millions of people.

Joni was a steadfast supporter and friend of Israel and the Jewish people. Through Daystar, she used her powerful platform to broadcast truth, mobilize humanitarian aid, and stand boldly with the nation of Israel — especially in the critical days following October 7th. Whether through television specials that raised funds and awareness, the establishment of Daystar House of Hope Israel to care for aging Holocaust survivors, or her consistent advocacy, Joni demonstrated a deep biblical love for Israel that was both vocal and practical.

In recognition of her extraordinary commitment to faith-based diplomacy for Israel, we were honored to present Joni with our Israel Allies Award in 2024. It celebrated her tireless advocacy, practical love for Israel, and unwavering Christian support for the Jewish people and the Land of the Bible.

Joni, thank you for your faithful service and generous heart. May the Lord comfort her family, may you be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
