We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your prayers for Israel. This war with Iran is quite intense, but we’re also seeing some miracles taking place.

‍

Iran has been attacking us here in Israel for years through their proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. But recently the Israeli government found out that Iran, who has sworn to destroy Israel and America for years, had already enriched enough uranium to assemble multiple nuclear bombs.

So Israel attacked preemptively on June 13, and since then there’s been a direct war between Israel and Iran.

Every single night since then, in the middle of the night, and also during the day, we’ve been having to run to our bomb shelters. Living here in Israel, we’re quite familiar with rockets being fired at us.

But these ballistic missiles from Iran are causing more damage than anything we’ve ever seen before. One missile in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv, caused damage to 61 buildings - just one missile.
‍

Iran has fired hundreds of missiles at Israel so far, and unfortunately 24 Israelis have been killed, and over 500 injured.

A Crucial Time to Pray

We really believe this is a crucial moment to be praying for Israel. Of course we’d greatly appreciate your prayers for protection, and they are making a difference!

But even more than that, just as God did throughout the Bible, we believe God wants to use these wars to help His people Israel turn back to Him and trust in Him instead of themselves.

We saw how before October 7, 2023, many Israelis trusted strongly in the Israel Defense Forces, but the military was caught totally unprepared for the murderous onslaught from Hamas that happened that day.

Then many Israelis spoke about the Iron Dome and other aerial defense systems as though they were our salvation, but recently they've missed quite a few of the missiles from Iran. So Israelis have been speaking in the last few days about the bomb shelter being our greatest protection, but a few days ago a missile hit a bomb shelter directly and killed several Israelis.

‍The bottom line is: in these fearful times, God is the only One we can trust in to protect us.

‍

A Ballistic Miracle

There’s an amazing story that illustrates the difference between human attempts to protect and God’s protection.

A ballistic missile from Iran was heading toward the North of Israel, and unfortunately the IDF failed to shoot it down and failed to even put on the siren so that people would get into their bomb shelters! And it hit just three doors down from the family members of two of our team members.

‍But incredibly, the bomb didn't detonate on impact! God delivered these people when humans had failed

Join Us in Prayer

So please pray that Israelis will see that God is the real answer. Let's pray that Israelis will seek a real, living relationship with God, and will find it through His Son, Jesus, Yeshua, their Messiah.

And in the midst of this war, God has given us the amazing privilege of spreading the Gospel constantly here - thousands of Israelis are watching our evangelistic videos, many are contacting us, some ordering New Testaments and other materials.

‍And a couple days ago, in the midst of this war, another Israeli woman who had been searching for years just came to faith in Jesus - hallelujah!

Please pray for God's anointing on us and other believers to share the Gospel and that many would be saved!

And also, please be praying as we are for the people of Iran - that those who are innocent would not be hurt and that there would be a great awakening there through the power of the Gospel.
