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 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.

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 innocent people all across the land and the conditions they are now living in as a result of this war. 

At this time, we have not sent teams into Gaza or the West Bank but are keeping our eyes watchful and hearts prayerful for opportunities. We have begun building relationships across the country after an initial DART team was sent in early January, and currently have opportunities to deploy.
