Standing in the Fire, Clinging to Hope
Prayer Alert from Israel

Today, we come to you not just with an update—but with a heartfelt cry for prayer, support, and solidarity.

As you read this, Israel is on the fifth day of an unprecedented war with Iran. It is not just another conflict. This time, it’s much more complex. The enemy is larger. The attack, more massive. The fear is deeper. Hundreds of ballistic missiles have rained down, shaking our cities, piercing our nights, and leaving behind destruction and heartbreak.

Twenty-four lives have been lost. Hundreds are wounded. Some are still missing. Buildings have crumbled. Families are shattered. Sleep is elusive as sirens fill the air and anxiety grips every corner of our communities.

And yet, in the midst of fear, we cling fiercely to hope.

The Bible tells us that days like these would come. Wars and rumors of wars. But it also tells us not to lose heart. We are not retreating. We are not giving in to fear. We are standing firm in the land God gave us, continuing to love, to serve, and to shine light in the darkness.

As the body of Yeshua in Israel, we know our mission hasn’t stopped. It’s only intensified.

  • We are continuing to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus.
  • We are mobilizing humanitarian aid to the wounded, the displaced, the fearful.
  • We are pushing back against the spirit of fear with every act of kindness, every prayer, every message of hope.

But we cannot do this alone. This is not just a physical war—it is a spiritual one. And we need our family around the world to fight with us.

Will you pray with us? Will you stand with us?

Now is the time to lift up Israel—not out of politics, but out of love and obedience to God’s call. When one part of the Body suffers, we all suffer. When one part stands in battle, we all must raise our shields together.

We believe that better days are ahead. We believe that peace is not just a dream—it is a promise. And we believe that together, with your prayers and your presence, we can break through the darkness.

We look forward to the day when you will once again join us here in Israel. To walk these ancient streets. To pray together in this Land. To witness how God is writing His story in the middle of the storm.

Until then, we bless you. We thank you.

And we ask you:
Don’t turn away. Don’t grow weary. Lift your voice. Stand with Israel.

Together, we will not just survive this war—we will rise from it in hope.

Elohim (אֱלֹהִים): God of Majesty and Power

Elohim (pronounced eh·low·heem) is one of the most frequently used names for God in the Hebrew Bible.

Selah (סֶלָה): When God Invites You to Pause

Throughout the Psalms, a small Hebrew word appears again and again—Selah (pronounced say-lah). It’s easy to overlook, but when you notice it, something shifts.

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.

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]
