There’s been a lot of talk about our nation’s relationship with Israel in the future. But regardless of the outcome, we know one thing to be true—WE will ALWAYS stand for Israel and the Jewish people. 🇮🇱
Jewish people like Nina.
It was Nina whose parents and siblings suffered a horrific death at the hands of a Nazi firing squad when she was a little girl. These memories still plague her.
Living in the former Soviet Union, Nina now faces a different sort of suffering—hunger. She told our team this January: “I am ready for God to take me. I’ve lived my life; I am tired of this life… I was hungry when I was a child and I am hungry when I am old. I am completely alone in this world and I’m tired of this loneliness and feeling of hunger.”
Nina’s tiny shack is drafty, crumbling, and heated only by firewood. This 90-year-old woman relies on the kindness of others to survive. Bringing Nina food, we were shocked to find she would stretch one of the meals to last four days. FOUR DAYS!
But the most significant thing about Nina was her gratitude. We were sure to tell Nina this food and these warm winter gloves were from Christians around the world.
“Thank you, thank you,” Nina repeated… over and over and over.
As winter quickly approaches we cannot forget the elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors who now not only face hunger, but the threat of the coronavirus. Give now! Your gift today will help with essential aid we provide each month for elderly Jews like Nina. Don’t delay! https://bit.ly/3iOZLEm #SavingJewishLives

Caecilia Loots or 'Tante Ciel' - A Schoolteacher and a Righteous Gentile
A friend asked Caecilia to hide two Jewish children facing death camps.
This choice would put the school teacher's own life at risk.
Her response? Yes.
Not only to two children but MANY.
What would you have done?
Caecilia Loots was a Dutch schoolteacher who sheltered and saved Jewish children during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during WWII.

48 hours of terror. Today we remember this tragic event that brought destruction to the Jewish people of Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. When his family was deported, a distraught 17 year old Jew shot a German official, leading to an outbreak of riots. Following orders from the Gestapo, local authorities did NOTHING to stop the acts of violence that ensued. 91 Jews were murdered, and 7,500 businesses, homes, and schools were ransacked. The greatest tragedy? 30,000 Jewish men were unjustly taken to concentration camps. And who was blamed for these riots? The Jews. Fines were even placed on the German Jewish communities.
This night is now called “The Night of Broken Glass.”
Anti-Semitism turned to VIOLENT acts against the Jewish people...acts that led to the Holocaust.
May the memories of those tragically impacted, the lives lost, be forever blessed.🕯 #NeverAgain

Will she be forgotten? This is the question we say “NO!” to each day, as we coordinate programming, and as we receive calls about new elderly and impoverished Jews around the world who need care. Elderly Jews like Nina—a Holocaust survivor living in a freezing shack in Ukraine. Where would Nina be without the food boxes and home care services YOU provide her?
We remember the biblical mandate to bless Israel! 🇮🇱 With increased economic challenges affecting many countries around the world, the need for food, medicine, and other basic needs has only increased. We are asking YOU to become a monthly giver, so Holocaust survivors like Nina can continue to receive the care they need, month after month. Will you say “no” to poverty and “yes” to making a difference? Together we can make sure these precious children of God are never forgotten! #SavingJewishLives

Marfa is desperately hungry.
You would be shocked at the little amount of food Marfa has to eat. And how she layers EVERY piece of clothing she owns just to stay warm on a cold day—not even a frigid one. It’s obvious this elderly Jewish widow, this precious child of God, is in desperate need of care, of being remembered.
If you have lived through economic crisis, unemployment, or experienced great need at any point in their life, you understand the choice Marfa must make. Food or medicine? Food or wood to heat her drafty home? Food or shoes?
NO ONE should have to make this choice. Which is why we know you, someone who has faced your own times of desperation, will remember Marfa in her hardships. Your gift today will make the choice for Marfa to eat and be filled! Donate here: https://bit.ly/3iOZLEm

No one should live on bread and water...
Bread and water. Should anyone be expected to live on bread and water? No! Especially not a woman whose entire family was shot during the Holocaust. But Nina does live on bread and water. Alone. With no loved ones to care for her. Nina was 3 years old when the Nazis invaded Ukraine. At Babi Yar, a ravine located by Kiev, Nazi death squads MURDERED nearly 32,000 men, women, and children. Here Nina’s parents, brother, and sister died. Their only crime? Being Jewish. Being Jewish. Why do we share these stories of the elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors we provide for? Because the ones whose lives have been marred by anti-Semitism, poverty, and pain MUST be heard, seen, provided for, and loved. They must not be forgotten. There is more to Nina’s story. But before we share it, will you commit to saying with us #NeverAgain? We will stand with Israel! 🇮🇱 https://bit.ly/3lvHa1O
BREAKING: Israel hit with a barrage of rockets as the signing of historic peace agreements begins in Washington. These rocket attacks on Israel prove that terrorists don’t want peace – and that’s why they hate the recent U.S.-brokered peace agreements between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain. Pray for the safety of Israel and her people, and that a new era of peace between Israel and her neighbors will continue to dawn across the Middle East! 🙏🙏🙏

Terror Fires in Israel
Balloons are a sign of innocence, not terror!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!! Praying for protection over the Holy Land and for those working to put out these border fires. These terror balloon attacks need to stop, NOW!
Without them, where would Israel be?!
We CANNOT! Without them, where would Israel and the Jewish people be??? 🇮🇱 Each day the men and women of the IDF sacrifice their time and safety to PROTECT the Holy Land. 💪 No greater honor, no greater sacrifice. Will you remind them today how thankful we are for their service? This Rosh Hashanah, we are providing food cards for the families of the IDF. We MUST remind these brave soldiers and their loved ones that we have not forgotten their sacrifice. Help the family of an IDF soldier observe the High Holy Days by giving your gift of support, today. DON’T WAIT!! https://bit.ly/3aLJopU
Sabbath Dishes Disrupted by Rocket Fire in Israel
BREAKING Overnight, 12 rockets launched from Gaza into various Israeli towns including Sderot. One rocket hit a house. These are the dishes probably meant for a calm Sabbath lunch. The IDF is preparing for an escelation this weekend. Please pray for the people of Israel. 🙏🏼🇮🇱
Give a food box for the High Holy Days!
Miryam is a Moroccan Holocaust survivor who lost vision in her eye when a Nazi soldier elbowed her. With 11 children to care for—11—Miryam’s mother risked her life to secretly ask for food while the family was in hiding. Rescued by US soldiers, Miryam’s family found relief and made aliyah to Israel after the war. But Miryam’s trials continued. A surgery on her second eye failed, leaving her COMPLETELY blind. She lives alone, isolated from the community and the few loved ones she has left. But it is help from Christians like you that keeps Miryam smiling, and surviving. A volunteer visits Miryam and brings her food boxes and other basic essentials. Miryam told her volunteer, “Without this, I’d simply die of hunger.” With the High Holy Days just under a month away, COUNTLESS elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors will be alone for this sacred season. And not only alone, but unable to observe these holy days without the proper foods required. Will you join us in this holy work?! DON’T WAIT! We need your help to provide more food boxes than ever this year to these precious souls. https://bit.ly/321y2Kk
Rocket Fire in Israel
THREE ROCKETS shot into Israel this weekend!! The property of a civilian was hit, NARROWLY missing the house. While peace deals take place, the Holy Land is STILL under fire from her enemies. The Jewish people should not live under this kind of terror and fear of destruction. Will you #StandForIsrael today, and provide lifesaving support to her people?
Will She Go Hungry?
The Jewish people are only as strong as their most vulnerable—including impoverished children and elderly Holocaust survivors. The women and men who survived the Holocaust, like Miryam, have experienced the depths of anti-Semitism and poverty in their lifetimes. We honor their experiences by providing today for their basic needs—like medicine and food—so they can continue to hold fast to God’s faithfulness. Just as we cannot forget the elderly, we cannot forget the next generation of the Jewish people. Children, like this precious child Sofia, are the ones who will carry on the Jewish faith for years to come. We must keep Jewish children healthy, safe, and strong in their Jewish identity—and we MUST care for the elderly during a time they need us most. Will you care for these precious ones like Miryam and Sofia? Let’s work together to remind them both of God’s faithfulness and care. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 https://bit.ly/3eQnB1b

Rocket Damage to Playground in Sderot
This is a children’s playground in Sderot, a southern city in Israel. Many times, terrorists from Gaza will AIM for schools and playgrounds. Praise God there were no injuries. Please continue to keep the Holy Land and its people in your prayers today.
This Is What Terrorism Looks Like, Part 2
‼️ Rockets continue to be launched into southern Israel this morning. Over 50 have been reported. Please pray for the safety of God's chosen people. "Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge." (Psalm 16:1)
This Is What Terrorism Looks Like
This is what terrorism looks like. We've confirmed over 20 rockets were fired into south Israel today. #PrayerAlert—the Jewish people need your help NOW.
Lions Gate Stabbing Attack | February 22, 2020
This is NOT ok! In the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem yesterday, a terrorist was running around with a knife, trying to stab any Jewish person they saw. One woman was stabbed and lightly wounded. We don’t know the identity of the attacker, but can confirm he was neutralized on the scene by police. This video is short, but shows the number of ambulances and emergency vehicles that respond to a terror attack like this. We pray for peace. And we pray for God's protection over His Holy Land and His people.
Anne Frank: Never Forgotten
Anne Frank perished in February of 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, a victim of the Nazis and their hateful, dehumanizing treatment of Jews. We pray that NEVER AGAIN will a strong and powerful voice like Anne’s be extinguished due to the evils of anti-Semitism. We’re fortunate today that the world has Israel to protect and harbor Jews facing the same situations all over the world.
Rabbi Eckstein: Carrying on the Legacy
Rabbi Eckstein’s effect on the world will last for generations. Because of him, hundreds of thousands of Jews now live in their ancient homeland, where civilization began. Remember and praise God with us for the impact of this man of God through his memorial site, RabbiEckstein.org.
One year ago, today, our leader, friend, mentor, and Rabbi, Yechiel Eckstein, left this world. His life mission was truly much larger than himself, something that only could have come from God. You can tell a movement is from God when its effects continue through multiple generations, and its impact can be felt throughout the whole world. Because of Rabbi, hundreds of thousands of Jews are in their homeland once again, thousands of elderly Jews in need are cared for, and countless Christians have rejuvenated their faith by learning about Israel and the Jewish roots of Christianity. One man saying “yes” to God can literally change the world! Today we honor Rabbi Eckstein and his legacy that continues to grow today. Thank you, Rabbi. May your memory be a blessing.
The Christian Church and the Jewish community were monumental in the American Civil Rights Movement—today we celebrate America’s founding creed that states “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Many people don’t know about the role of Jews in the Civil Rights Movement – learn more by downloading our free ebook here: bit.ly/2RaHNAx.
