Prayer answered – temporary permit granted

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]We’re so thankful for all your prayers for our recent situation when Ashdod municipality issued an administrative closure order on our new building, claiming we were violating our usage permit.

Our prayers were answered when we were able to get the municipality to lift the ban and allow us to continue temporarily operating from our facility during the COVID19 crisis.

The power of the praying church is an amazing force! Just like in Acts 12:5 — “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.”

You standing in prayer with us gives us amazing breakthroughs. Thanks to your prayers the attacks on us and attempts to close down our congregation have stopped.

Although temporary, it enables to continue our humanitarian efforts during this challenging time when so many families depend on the food baskets we supply them with.

Despite having to endure persecutions, even during the COVID19 crisis, it’s nothing new to us. We have been conditioned by past persecutions and we know God strengthens us to endure even more because we believe this is the time God is using us even more for His glory!

2 Timothy 3:12 — “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4863,4862,4861,4860,4859,4858,4857,4856,4855,4854,4853″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Ani Hu (אֲנִי הוּא) —
I Am He

We live in a world where so much can change without warning. Plans change, circumstances change, people change, and sometimes things we thought were secure suddenly become uncertain.

When God Speaks of Zion:
His Protection, His Peace, His Blessing Over You

“Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you.” Psalm 147:12–13 Jerusalem is a city the whole world seems to have an opinion about. For more than three thousand years, kingdoms have fought over her, nations have watched […]

Praying for you from Biblical Jaffa:
God still has the final Word

Shalom from Jaffa—biblical Joppa, one of the ancient cities of Israel and a place where remarkable events recorded in Scripture unfolded. As I stand here today, I am praying for you. I may not know exactly what you are facing as you read these words, what situation you have been bringing before the Lord, or what has […]

The beginning they didn’t expect
Finding new life in Israel

Anna had only recently made Aliyah with her three children. As a single mother, she was beginning again in Israel with a 20-year-old son and two daughters, sixteen and five—new surroundings, a new rhythm of life, and so much still uncertain. Then, during one of our recent times together with new Olim, our team began […]

How will they hear?
Bringing the gospel within reach

There are Israelis who have lived their entire lives in the land of the Bible and have never once heard the Gospel clearly explained to them. They know the names of Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets. They walk the same land where Yeshua lived and ministered. Many know His name—but know Him only as the […]
