We are so honored to share this beautiful testimony from our sister, Nelly, who is a new Jewish immigrant to Israel and a precious part of our Beit Hallel family. Nelly joined us as a volunteer, eager to serve and connect with our community, and through her involvement, she began a personal journey that has truly transformed her life.
When Nelly first arrived, she completed the Alpha Course, which introduced people to the basics of faith in Yeshua. Eager to go deeper, she joined one of our Bible study courses, where she began learning more about God’s Word and His love for her.
It was during this time that she made the heartfelt decision to repent and place her trust in Yeshua.
Since then, she has faithfully attended our community meetings, growing in her faith and becoming a beloved part of our congregation.
About three to four months ago, we had a deeply moving conversation with Nelly at her home. In that intimate setting, Nelly opened her heart to us and shared a pain she had been carrying for 40 long years. She shared the story of her little daughter, who tragically passed away decades ago in her native Ukraine. For all those years, not a day had gone by when she didn’t remember her daughter and feel the sorrow and grief as if it were fresh. Nelly explained that she couldn’t speak about her daughter without tears, and the weight of that loss had been a constant burden on her heart, something she had carried alone for so long.
As we listened to her, we shared with her about God’s love and how He is the only one who can truly bring comfort and healing to our deepest hurts. We reminded her that the Lord promises to be near to the brokenhearted and to heal their wounds. Together, we prayed with Nelly, lifting her sorrow up to the Lord and asking Him to bring peace and freedom to her heart.
Not long ago, Nelly came to us with joyful news: since that day of prayer, she no longer experiences that same piercing pain when she remembers her daughter. The burden and grief that had haunted her for 40 years were lifted, and she felt a peace and freedom she hadn’t known in decades.
Nelly’s heart had been healed in a way only God could accomplish!
This testimony is a powerful reminder of the greatness of our God, who is our comforter, healer, and redeemer.
We give all the glory to Him for the freedom and peace He has brought to Nelly’s life.
Hallelujah!
