Christmas and Hanukkah – Being a Light during the holiday season

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
In preparation for Hanukkah and Christmas, our teams are working full steam in preparation of our special holiday relief projects for children and families in need, most of whom have fled a raging war in Ukraine.

We might never know the extent of the impact this terrible war has had on them, but we do know that God’s love is greater than anything they had to face at such a young age.

Our goal is to bring a little joy, a little happiness and a lot of smiles to their young faces. If a small care package filled with holiday treats can accomplish that, isn’t it worth the investment?

Hanukkah is a Feast of Miracles and Light. Could there be a truer representation of God than miracles and shining light?

We were sent to be His light in this world, to shine brightly where light is most needed. To be able to do just that during this holiday season is to reflect God’s loving character.

Consider being that light this Hanukkah season by sowing as little as $50 that will help bless 1 child with a special Hanukkah care package.

Bless Israeli families with the gift of Christmas

It’s no coincidence that Hanukkah is followed by Christmas. Both are a celebration of light, deliverance and God’s love for the world.

We want to create the best Christmas atmosphere for many families in need who need God’s love and kindness more than ever right now.

The reality for many families here in Israel is the struggle to even put food on the table. This is why they are humbled and thankful for the little spark of joy we are able to bring them with our holiday food packages.

During the holiday season, we might be tempted to forget that food might be a luxury to some who cannot afford many of the things we take for granted.

Imagine having to depend on someone’s kindness and generosity in order to see a smile on your child’s face or feed your family after having lost even the little you had over the course of this difficult year.

That is the reality for the families we are currently busy helping. Our team has been working around the clock, bringing children a little Christmas joy, and the families some much-needed food supplies.

Consider supporting our special holiday relief project for kids with a gift of $50 that will provide 1 child with a Hanukkah goodie basket. Our goal is to bless 400 kids this holiday season.

An additional $30 will help us bless 1 family with a much-needed holiday food package.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
