Israel Crisis
October 7th, 2023, was a horrific day of violence in Israel and has ignited into an ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, with rockets firing towards Israel from other groups in surrounding nations. Israel is a nation that is still home to Holocaust survivors and their descendants. The surprise attack has left many traumatized and missing loved ones who have either been killed, called up to serve in the military, or are being held hostage in Gaza. The ongoing sirens and needing to run to bomb shelters are a constant reminder that the nation is at war, while thousands still remain displaced from their homes on the Northern Border of Israel.
We grieve with those who grieve, and as followers of Jesus (or in Hebrew: Yeshua), we seek to be "ministers of reconciliation" as outlined in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.
We see and acknowledge the suffering of people all across the land and the conditions they are now living in as a result of this war.
As of July 2024, we have had 7 teams and 2 interns serve in diverse communities in a variety of ways: from Farmwork to Counseling, Kid’s Camps to packaging food for displaced families.
We are responding in a wide range of ways, and the specific needs of our local partners guide how we recruit for deployments to Israel. We are so grateful for your desire to pray for, give, and go! Our team on the ground sends prayer requests out each week, and are so thankful for all who are taking the time to pray for this situation.
We are, also, so grateful for the financial contributions that have enabled us to help, support and bless. We have new projects coming up that we would love to invite you to consider giving financially to help us continue to support local partners and ministries.
