Israel at War
But God Is Our Wall of Fire

This week, we write to you with both heavy hearts and unshakable hope.

As you may have heard, Israel is under fire. In recent days, missiles—some 30 to 90 feet long—have rained down, crashing between apartment buildings, reducing walls to rubble, and striking terror into the hearts of civilians. The danger is real. And yet—God is moving in the midst of the storm.

Even as devastation threatens, miracles are happening. Lives are being spared. The Lord is revealing Himself as a “wall of fire” around His people—just as He promised in Zechariah:

“I will be a wall of fire around her, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.”

Zechariah 2:5

This is not just a verse—we are seeing it in real time.

In the chaos, many families are isolated and vulnerable. Elderly people who rely on public transport can no longer leave their homes. Mothers with small children are trapped indoors, unable to risk a trip to the grocery store. Fathers are serving in the army or are stuck abroad, unable to return home.

This is where we come in—where you come in.

Our teams are going house to house, bringing emergency supplies, baby food, and hope to those who cannot help themselves. We are not only delivering food—we are delivering comfort, prayer, and the message that they are not forgotten. We tell them about you—faithful Christians around the world who are praying, giving, and standing with Israel in her hour of need.

The presence of God is tangible in these moments. People are weeping with gratitude. They are hearing the Word. They are seeing love in action. The elderly, the widows, the mothers—they are experiencing the warmth of God’s embrace through your generosity and our hands and feet.

This is a holy moment. A time to shine the light of Yeshua in the darkest days. A time to declare boldly that God is glorifying His name in Israel.

So we ask you—continue to pray. Continue to give. Continue to stand.

Together, we are fulfilling prophecy. Together, we are witnessing His glory.

With deep love and gratitude,

Pastor Israel Pochtar

“For such a time as this.”

“Just One Rocket”
Devastation and Hope in Bat Yam, Israel

This week, our team stood in Bat Yam, at the very spot where a missile fell just days ago. The destruction was staggering—an entire apartment building torn in half by a single rocket. The explosion didn’t just punch a hole in the skyline—it shattered lives. Concrete lay in twisted piles. Curtains blew through the open air […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
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 that happens, our attention naturally goes to the problem in front of us.  We want to know what will happen, how God will answer, and what […]

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 […]

Six lives changed in Biblical Jaffa

They had made Aliyah only two months earlier, and life in Israel was already weighing heavily on them. So when Irina found herself on a small bus heading toward Jaffa and asked what kind of excursion they had joined, our team gave her a simple answer: “We just want you to spend the day with […]

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 […]
