Bringing Back Christmas to Israel

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
We’re only a few days away from celebrating Christmas, and Hanukkah candles are being lit every night as we begin our celebrations these days. Our team is now putting the finishing touches on our special festive outreach events this week.

Our goal is to allow families, and especially children, the chance to taste God’s goodness and love during such a special time when so many around the world unite to celebrate the birth of Yeshua, our Lord — which is ultimately the true message of Christmas.

We believe there is something special in the atmosphere during this season, precisely because many nations join in celebration of Yeshua’s birth that took place over 2000 years ago, just a few miles from where we live.

It’s so important to bring to the nation of Israel the true meaning and message of Yeshua’s nativity, life, death and resurrection, and no better time than now, as we light Hanukkah candles commemorating the miraculous power of God and His light that drove out darkness, while the whole world is celebrating our Messiah’s birth.

We invite you to join us in blessing these families and children with generosity, kindness and love, which is the true reflection of Christmas.

GIVE TODAY and support our ministry with a Year-End Gift that will sow a lasting seed towards a harvest filled 2023.

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:
HaKol Efshar (הַכֹּל אֶפְשָׁר) —
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 […]
