Esther, a lovely 60-year-old patient who suffered stress and anxiety aggravated by the endless lockdowns of this pandemic, felt that loneliness flooded her soul and she had lost all hope to continue living.
At the time of receiving our help, she told us through tears during an emotional support session: “they send you just in time when it is really a difficult, painful moment, and it is so happy to have someone who listens to me, and to be able to share, to get everything that I have inside of me. You encourage me and strengthen me, when in reality everything seems lost, with all the problems, the difficulties, with the unstable security situation … it is so good for me to have this possibility of having someone to turn to and receive both mental and psychological support, and with the other things that you help me and my family. Thank you very much for everything you do for all of us, for taking care of us and the rest of the families”
Our special “City of Life” team is available to provide psychological and emotional help to the most affected people in the city who face the challenge of living on the border with the extremist Islamic terror that considers the extermination of Israeli citizens as one of its priorities, added to the stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our goal is to help them face the difficult life they lead by bringing them hope to move on.
You can help us reach more desperate people by bringing them hope and comfort.

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
