Sofia and Yakov's story

An elderly couple, Sofia and Yakov, made aliyah from Kiev, Ukraine just recently. Despite being Jewish, they had no plans to emigrate to Israel, but the war forced their hands and they took a step of faith and completed the process of aliyah. Sofia is a piano teacher, and her husband Yakov is a civil engineer. Back in Ukraine, he continued to work as an engineer, despite already being retired. Sophia loves the city of Jerusalem and loves visiting the city to see the Biblical sites.

During our most recent conversation with them, we spoke about Israel’s history in the scriptures and prophecy, and eventually, we began discussing prayer, as the couple had a strong desire to know and commune with God. We shared with them from the scriptures about Jesus and what he taught about prayer, that you can pray anywhere, and that you don’t need to pray at a specific place like the Western Wall. If you receive Jesus, the Holy Spirit will fill your heart, and you will be in reconciliation with God, communing with Him continually.

They listened attentively and were very open to the Gospel, and made the decision to pray the prayer of salvation and to receive Yeshua as their Lord and Savior. In the meantime, they have also started attending our services and are walking the path that God laid out for them. Hallelujah!

The Tabernacle of His Peace – Part 1

The Feast of Tabernacles is called Sukkot in Hebrew, and as all the other biblical feasts its celebrations start in the evening, because in Israel every feast and every new day starts from sunset to sunset.

When the Shofar Sounds:
Remember the God Who Still Speaks

As we prepare here in Israel to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, I have been thinking about a sound that has echoed through the story of our people for thousands of years: the sound of the shofar. In Hebrew, this biblical feast is called Yom Teruah—the Day of the Shofar Blast, or the Day of Trumpet […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:

All Things Are Possible

Sometimes we face situations where we simply do not see a way forward. We have prayed, we have waited, and maybe we have done everything we know to do, but nothing seems to change. After some time, we can begin to think, “Maybe this is impossible.” The Bible is full of people who found themselves […]

A Call to Draw Near:
Strengthening a New Generation of Believers in Israel

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him.” Mark 3:13 There are seasons when the voice of God can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life. Responsibilities, decisions, relationships, work, questions about the future—especially for young adults, life can pull the heart […]

When a Heart Begins to Open

Sometimes the most important thing happening in a room is something no one can see. A woman may sit quietly, listen without saying much, and give little indication that anything has changed. Yet a seed has been planted. The Word of God has reached somewhere beneath the surface. And sometimes it is only later that […]

He Saw Them —
Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot Evangelism Campaign

“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:36 When Yeshua looked at a multitude, He never saw a number. He saw faces. He saw stories. He saw lives unfolding before Him—people carrying pain, questions, disappointments, fears, and […]

When God Leads You Somewhere New —
A Message from Joppa, Israel

There are seasons when life feels settled. Perhaps you have prayed for something, watched God answer, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for that place. But today, standing in Joppa—the biblical city known today as Jaffa, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast—I am reminded of something powerful: sometimes […]
