“I used to look at many photos of African and Indian children and think about how hard life is for them,” says Pastor Eliav. “One day I said to myself, ‘How can I send help if I don’t have the means?’”

In 2019, after fishing, as I was walking away from the river, I met an African man. We started talking, and he told me they were students at an agricultural college in Israel, participating in a one-year program. I invited him to my home. At first, two of them came. A week later, there were six. Eventually, sometimes even up to fifteen.

Now, for the sixth year, Hope for Israel Ministry has been investing in the lives of young students from Malawi, Botswana, Rwanda, and Nepal.

We gather for worship evenings, bring them to Shabbat services, organize excursions, and conduct baptisms. Students who came from Catholic backgrounds joyfully enter into a covenant with the Lord.

We ask for your prayers and donations to strengthen the faith of these young people.

Blessings from Israel.
