From the Ashes, Beauty Rises

Hag Sameach (Happy Holidays) from Jerusalem!

For the athletes of the national Israeli Amputee Football League, this is more than a game.

For Will who sold his business to come work in the unforgiving sun and icy desert nights near Gaza, this is a destiny.

For those returning to the villages near Gaza after a year of evacuation, Limor’s music program is chicken soup for the soul.

For Ukrainian refugees like Irina, caring for Israelis during their own war is a way to give back.

For young children growing in the Lord while learning how to become leaders in their circle of influence, the sky is the limit.

The best part about all these stories is the role Maoz supporters play in bringing them to life.

The projects ISWI funds are designed to strengthen believers who are struggling as well as build bridges between Messianic Jews and the larger Jewish community. (Many Christians don’t realize Jews have long been hesitant about building relationships with the Messianic community because of poor treatment by the Church in the past.)

This year ISWI sponsored everything from leadership training to therapy training and treatment and from music lessons for young worshipers to sports teams for amputees.

I Stand with Israel has given over a million dollars in war-relief and nation-building efforts and your gift of any amount will continue to empower the expansion of these programs.

We remain a nation at war with evil, but we serve the only God who can bring good out of evil and offer beauty for ashes.

In His service,

Kobi & Shani Ferguson
