We want to begin with a heartfelt thank you. To our partners and friends—your generosity and faithfulness made this past week possible. Because you stood with us, warmth reached homes and hope reached hearts at a critical moment. Your partnership is not abstract; it becomes real in the lives of people who are navigating hardship and uncertainty, often quietly and with dignity.
Last week, during the cold winter days, God enabled us, through your partnership, to distribute 300 heaters to elderly men and women and to new Jewish immigrants in Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Jerusalem.
What might seem like a simple appliance became something far greater. Each heater represented dignity, care, and the reassurance that someone had not been forgotten. For many, it was a reminder that they are not alone as they build or rebuild their lives here in Israel.
For many of those we serve, winter adds real pressure. Fixed incomes, modest living spaces, and the uncertainty of beginning again in a new country make even basic needs difficult to meet. Rising costs and limited resources often force families and elderly individuals to choose carefully how to use what little they have. For parents, a heater meant their children could sleep warmly and safely through the coldest nights. For the elderly, it meant relief from the cold, greater safety, and a renewed sense of peace. In those moments, practical help became a clear expression of God’s care. Warmth went beyond temperature—it reached deeply into people’s lives.
Jesus reminds us:
“I was cold and you clothed Me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me”
Matthew 25:36, 40
This project allowed us to respond to that calling in a tangible and faithful way. As heaters were distributed, the atmosphere was filled with gratitude—smiles, tears, and simple words of thanks. Some shared stories of their journeys to Israel and the challenges they continue to face. Others held the box close, visibly moved by the knowledge that someone had thought of them and taken action.
Your support reached across cities and into individual homes, turning need into hope. Together, we witnessed how a single act of kindness can bring comfort, restore dignity, and reflect the faithfulness of God. Small acts, when done in love, often carry a weight far greater than we imagine. As Scripture says:
“Blessed is the one who considers the poor; the Lord delivers him in the day of trouble”
Psalm 41:1
Thank you for walking with us and for sharing in God’s heart for His people. Because of your partnership, warmth was felt across Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Jerusalem—and lives were touched in meaningful ways. We are grateful to stand with you as we continue to care for the people God brings across our path.
