From Darkness to Light – Bless Israel this Hanukkah and Christmas

As we enter the holiday season of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah, we recognize it as a profound opportunity to show the people of Israel the true essence of this season. For many, these holidays are times of joy, celebration, and remembrance of God’s faithfulness. But for others, especially here in Israel, where conflict and hardship have cast heavy shadows this year, it can be difficult to see light in the midst of so much darkness. Yet, God’s Word reminds us that He gives us the spirit of joy and hope, even in challenging times.

The past year has been one of relentless struggles, marked by war, heartbreak, and uncertainties. But as followers of Yeshua, we know that God has called us to be a source of hope and encouragement—to reflect His light in dark places. The holiday season reminds us that there is no greater joy than to become an answer to someone’s prayer, to reach out with a message of love through kindness and generosity, and to meet people where they are with God’s sustaining love. It’s about delivering a reminder of His unfailing love, the kind that can uplift hearts and bring comfort even in the most challenging moments.

This season, our humanitarian project will focus on bringing joy and encouragement to the people of Israel, sharing with them the hope that can be found in God alone. This is a season for lighting candles, both in the physical sense and in the hearts of those in need. During Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, the people of Israel celebrate the miracle of God’s enduring light—a light that was not extinguished in the face of great opposition. And at Christmas, we celebrate that God sent His Son to bring light to a dark world. Our goal this season is to carry this spirit into the lives of those who need it most, sharing the love and hope that came into the world with the birth of our Messiah Yeshua.

Would you like to be a part of this mission? Your contribution can bring joy and spread light where there is darkness, providing relief and love to families in need. This holiday season, you have the chance to touch lives in Israel in a way that reflects the heart of God—bringing peace to the weary, hope to the hopeless, and light to those who may feel surrounded by darkness.

We invite you to join us in this beautiful mission. Help us bless the people of Israel, celebrate with them, weep with them, and ultimately rejoice with them as they experience God’s goodness through your seasonal gift. Your generosity is not just a gift for the moment; it is a lasting impact that echoes into eternity.

Thank you for being a light in the darkness and for sharing God’s love with His people in Israel. Together, we can remind them that they are not forgotten, that God’s light will always prevail, and that this holiday season can indeed be one filled with joy and hope.

Ani Hu (אֲנִי הוּא) —

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.

His Protection, His Peace, His Blessing Over You

“Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

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

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

Anna had only recently made Aliyah with her three children.

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 […]
