With the cases of Covid 19 increasing, many children were deprived of being able to attend the traditional parties and events of the festival of lights, Hannukkah, as they do every year, which serve as a distraction in the already traumatized routine of children of our city who many of them suffer from post-traumatic stress among other disorders due to the continuous missile attacks perpetrated by Islamic terrorists from nearby Gaza.
Under these circumstances and taking the precautions required by the authorities, our “City Of Life” team decided to bring the Hannukkah holiday to the homes of the neediest children in our city.
Therefore our clown visited each child in need bringing them goodies and amazing gifts specially wrapped by our team to make the hearts of the poor children of our city Sderot happy.
Happy parents thanked us for alleviating the hard time their children are going through and bringing them a Hannukkah smile.

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
