Last week, my daughter arrived in Israel to visit some of our staff there. Now, she is staying in a bomb shelter, as are dozens of our Jews for Jesus staff and their families.

They are all sheltering as missiles fly overhead. In their neighborhoods, they have seen residential buildings severely damaged or even destroyed. The photo for this article was snapped on a phone by one of our staff in Tel Aviv.

But in the midst of this crisis, their faith remains strong as they pray for peace, sing worship songs, and hold fast to God’s promises.

Israel is under attack. But we cling to the words of Scripture:

He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge… (Psalm 91:4, NIV)

I personally thank God for the bravery of our staff on the ground in Israel. They immediately started working to respond to this crisis, bringing food, drinks, and spiritual support to soldiers, emergency responders, and affected civilians. Many emergency responders were visibly shaken; trauma and anxiety were widespread. Soldiers had been working long hours with limited access to water, and they welcomed our team’s help.

Please Pray with Us!

Please pray for protection for Israel. Please pray for our loved ones, our teams, and our people. Pray for peace. Pray for the Spirit of Yeshua to bring comfort and courage to every heart right now.

Please pray for our teams’ safety as they work to respond to the crisis. Please join us also in praying for safety for the people of Iran—especially for the many believers and freedom fighters there who are in danger from their government.

You can also help us support the work of our staff in Israel.

Thank you for standing with us. It means more than I can say.

Aaron Abramson,
Jews for Jesus, CEO
