Alex, a 40-year-old man, has lived in Israel for the past 10 years with his wife, Marina. During their early days in the country, we, at Beit Hallel, had the privilege of meeting them through our follow-up team. His wife, Marina, even attended one of our home groups for a while.
Yet, over the years, they seemed to drift away, their hearts not quite ready to commit fully to the Lord. Although they stopped attending meetings, we never stopped caring. Our team kept them in our prayers, trusting in God’s perfect timing, as we do for all those He places on our path.
But recently, a life-changing event began to unfold. Marina reached out to us with urgent news — Alex had suffered a serious injury at work. He had fallen from a height of three meters, head first, a fall that should have ended in tragedy. Iron beams were dangerously close to where he fell, but by the grace of God, Alex miraculously landed on his feet. Though he injured his leg, it was clear that something much greater had protected him from a worse fate.
Marina asked if our follow-up team could visit Alex in the hospital to pray for him.
Without hesitation, we went to see him. When we arrived, we found him open and receptive to our prayers. As we shared a little about the Lord’s goodness and the power of His salvation, Alex’s heart softened. He asked how he could invite the Lord into his life, and we guided him through a prayer of repentance. He eagerly prayed with us, asking for both healing and a new beginning in the Lord.
After the prayer, we witnessed something beautiful — Alex, who had been weary and downtrodden, began to smile. The weight he had been carrying seemed to lift. That evening, Marina sent us a heartfelt message of thanks, telling us that our visit and prayer had uplifted Alex in a way they hadn’t expected. She shared that he had been struggling with discouragement and losing heart, but the presence of the Holy Spirit during our visit had cheered him tremendously.
They both felt deeply moved by the Lord’s touch and expressed a renewed desire to reconnect with our congregation and with Yeshua. It was clear to us that God was stirring something new in their lives — a restoration of their faith and relationship with Him.
We praise the Lord for opening Alex’s heart and for the miraculous protection He provided during what could have been a fatal accident. We are planning to visit him again in the hospital and look forward to welcoming both Alex and Marina back into the church family.
We ask that you join us in praying for Alex’s continued healing and for the full restoration of their relationship with the Lord. May God continue to work in their lives, drawing them closer to Him, and may His perfect will be done in their family.
