Hi everyone, in Israel yesterday we had an opportunity to pray for a father whose 6 year old son legs do not work due to an error at the hospital. We explained the gospel to him and he wanted to know more and how he could be certain . We also helped give clothes out to the new immigrants. when we came to Israel I thought the 4 of us was going to be in one room and was wondering how we would have our alone time with the LORD and no distractions each other.
Quests what Jesus gave us each a room so when I am up at 4:00am and Vic up till 4:00pm we do not disturb each other. Another thing Jesus gave us 3 flights of stairs that we go up several times a day I am going to be in better shape spiritually and physically PRAISE THE LORD.
We pray for 2 ladies that accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior today one is in an abusive relationship and they are not married so we are trusting the LORD to open a door for her to have a safe place to live and be disciples she came in suicidal and left with a peace. Please continue keep us in your prayer.
For Zion’s Sake Ministries is a Jerusalem based non-profit, humanitarian aid organization - established and dedicated to assisting the needs of newly arriving immigrants. For most, starting over in Israel is physically and emotionally, as well as economically, overwhelming.
After the slaughter of more than 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, the state of Israel was reborn miraculously in one day on May 14, 1948. God’s chosen people began returning to their ancient homeland seeking refuge.
Thousands of new immigrants come to Israel every year to escape persecution in the form of anti-Semitism and economic and civil oppression. Over one million Jews from the former Soviet Union have returned home since 1988 alone, and their needs are staggering.
Most of these immigrants arrive in Israel with only the clothes they carry with them in their suitcases. The transition of starting over in a strange land is extremely difficult for most of the immigrants (Olim). Lack of employment, insufficient language skills, and a myriad of cultural challenges cause many to become discouraged and lonely. Because of these hardships, twelve percent of new immigrants choose to leave Israel.
