Many needy children in our city take refuge in music to overcome their traumas and express their feelings since it is known that studying music and playing an instrument constitutes an effective therapy to heal wounds of the soul.
An ideal escape for the little ones highly affected by the situation of insecurity and terrorism that they face every day in our region where sirens are constantly heard announcing the arriving of more rockets fired from neighboring Gaza, from where incendiary balloons that produce large fires around our city also are coming from as well.
All this hate and suffering leads to our city having the highest rates of post-traumatic stress in the country.
Knowing that music can help ease this pain, our “City of Life” ministry and Outreach Center made a commitment to help our local music school equip itself to be able to serve more and more children who seek hope in music.
To this end, our first donation of help comes through essential brand new music stands that will be used by more children in their instrument and singing classes.
The director of the music school and her staff thanked us wholeheartedly and expressed their hope that we will be able to continue with our goal of providing them with help and thus change together the lives of so many children who benefit emotionally from music.
Improve the lives of traumatized children with us by equipping the local music school, whether it’s contributing for a single violin or a set of many instruments, you can make a difference.
The following is a list of the equipment needed by the music school to be able to continue facing the great demand of suffering children seeking an opportunity for relief.
2 Violins- US $ 1600
2 Electric Pianos – US $ 965 each
5 Saxophones – US $ 643 each
Microphone and Amplifier Stand- US $ 642
5 Flutes -US $ 386 each
Microphones- US $ 322 each
Classical Guitar Strings 5 Packs -US $ 193
Violin Strings 5 Sets – US $ 190
Violin Rosin- US $ 65
PROJECT TOTAL: US$5,006
We invite you to be part of our ministry so that together we can bring hope to our border town of Sderot.
Our work would not be possible without the help of partners like you, that is why we ask you to consider in prayer the possibility of a monthly commitment that will allow us to continue with the Lord’s work here in Israel.
Sincerely yours
Pastors
