God is Moving—and Lives Are Being Changed!
We’re so excited to share an encouraging update from our outreach and discipleship work in Ashkelon. It’s a beautiful picture of what God is doing—thanks to your prayers, support, and standing with us.
Ashkelon is a city that’s been through a lot. But even in the middle of challenges and uncertainty, God is doing something amazing. People are opening their hearts to Him, and the Gospel is taking root.
Every week, our team—led by Haim and some incredible local volunteers—goes out to connect with people. Some come through our evangelism events, others through relief efforts, and many just through everyday encounters. We pray with them, talk about Jesus, offer practical help, and simply show God’s love.
And little by little, God is working in hearts and bringing change.
Not long ago, we launched an Alpha Course in Ashkelon to help people go deeper in their questions about faith. And wow—God showed up in a big way. Two married couples we had connected with months earlier suddenly walked in, ready to explore more. They had heard about God before, but now they were truly seeking. One of these couples—Sergey and Natalia—is now part of our weekly services and growing in their walk with the Lord.
One of the most touching stories is of Lena, a woman we met during an outreach. She had pain in her leg, and we prayed a simple prayer with her. God healed her. That moment touched her deeply. She started asking about faith, joined the Alpha Course, and now she’s fully part of the fellowship. Even better—she’s started serving with the Alpha team! She told us, “I feel like I’ve been born again. I believe in God, and I’m so thankful—my life has truly changed.”
Another woman, Irina, who we had once ministered to in Jerusalem, recently moved to Ashkelon. We helped connect her with local believers right away. She joined Alpha too and is now growing steadily in her faith journey.
These aren’t just nice stories—they’re real-life examples of what happens when love, prayer, and discipleship come together. God is healing hearts, restoring lives, and building His Kingdom here in Israel. People are not just hearing about Jesus—they’re following Him, serving Him, and sharing Him with others.
Jesus said it clearly in Luke:
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field.”
Luke 10:2
That’s what we’re seeing right now—the harvest is real, and it’s growing. We’re so thankful for each one of you who’s praying, giving, and cheering us on. You’re a part of every changed life, every healing, and every new believer finding their place in God’s family.
Let’s keep going together—there’s so much more ahead!
