In these challenging times, we want to bring joy and hope to children and their families with a special Purim event that we have lovingly prepared. It will be a day full of smiles, featuring an amazing performance by a local illusionist, live music, gifts for the little ones, and, of course, the traditional “Hamantaschen” delicious cookies filled with chocolate that everyone will enjoy.
As this special holiday approaches, we want to ensure it is a time of joy and renewal for those who need it most. In Sderot, a city that has endured so many trials, we want children to experience an unforgettable day filled with laughter, games, and cherished memories. We want every child who attends to know that they are not alone, that they are loved, and that God has a plan for their lives.
Purim is much more than a joyful holiday, it is a testimony to God’s love and faithfulness toward His people. It reminds us that throughout history, enemies have risen against us, seeking our destruction, but God has never abandoned us. Just as in the days of Esther and Mordecai, when the Jewish people faced a deadly threat and God gave them victory, today we see new “Hamans” rise against us. Yet we trust that once again, God will bring salvation and protect His people because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Today, as Israel continues to face challenges and threats, the story of Purim takes on an even deeper meaning. It reminds us that no matter how great the darkness, God’s light always shines brighter. It teaches us that faith, unity, and trust in the Lord are our most powerful weapons, and that victory comes from Him.
You Can Make a Difference!
With your support, we can bring hope and love to these children and their families on this special biblical holiday. Your help will remind them how much the Lord loves them and allow them to experience a Purim filled with joy. Join us today!
You can be part of and impact the lives of more people who need help in our city and together show them the way, the truth and the life.
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, so 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
