Comfort, Comfort My People
Post-War Humanitarian Efforts Continue!

Every single time there’s an escalation and we again find ourselves under rocket fire from Gaza, it doesn’t really matter how long it might last; days, weeks. For us, who live in this reality, it is an ongoing war that we cannot seem to escape from, and time after time find ourselves yet again hearing that terrifying sound of sirens alerting us there are rockets fired at us and we have 30 seconds to take cover. It’s hard to describe how it feels, it can only be experienced to understand how horrifying the sounds of war truly are.

It is that much more traumatizing for newly immigrated people from Ukraine that just fled the terrors of war, and are now forced to face it all again.

Isaiah 40:1, speaks of bringing “comfort” to the people of Israel, in Hebrew “Nechama,” (נֶחָמָה). This is why in times like these, of war and post-war, it is more important than ever to reach out a helping hand and offer comfort, encouragement, kindness, and practical assistance to those affected by it.

As we continue to deliver food packages and important essentials to new immigrants and their families, consider helping them in this difficult time by supporting our humanitarian efforts.

When God Knows the Whole Story:
The Unexpected Encounter That Gave Marina Hope

Marina* came to our Sukkot celebration carrying a fear she could do nothing about. Her son was in prison in Ukraine, badly wounded, and she did not know what would happen to him. She had no idea that among the people she would meet that day was someone whose own story would touch hers in […]

The Work He Left In Our Hands —
Galilee Evangelism Campaign

Here in Israel, many people can know the names of biblical places and the stories connected with them — and still know very little about who Yeshua really is. For many of the new Jewish immigrants we meet, Israel itself is also new. They are building a life in a new country, discovering the land, […]

“Please Don’t Wait Too Long” —
Holocaust Survivors Project Report

Some of the Holocaust survivors who walked into our gathering in Ashdod already knew us. Others did not. We could see the hesitation on a few faces, and we understood it. They had been invited into a room with people they barely knew — and we were wondering how they would respond when we spoke […]

Inside the Sukkah:
Remembering the God Who Provides

One of the things I love about Sukkot is how many simple reminders of God’s faithfulness surround us during this Feast. We build the sukkah, we sit beneath its branches, we share meals together as families, and we remember something our people have needed to remember for thousands of years: everything we have ultimately comes […]

Hebrew Word of the Week: Adonai Uzzi (יְהוָה עֻזִּי) — The LORD Is My Strength

Hebrew Word of the Week:
Adonai Uzzi (יְהוָה עֻזִּי) —
The LORD Is My Strength

We all become tired sometimes, and I don’t mean only physically. There is another kind of tiredness that comes when you have been carrying something for a long time. You have prayed, you have tried to make the right decisions, you have kept going, but the situation has still not changed. After some time, you […]

“Don’t Forget Us. Come Again” —
Holocaust Survivors Praise Report

The Moroccan food was a hit. We had brought it from Ashdod for a gathering with Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem, and before long people around the tables were asking about our city. What is Ashdod like? Could they come visit sometime? We loved that. Somewhere between passing plates, talking across the table and getting to […]
