Ciara is a lovely old woman who lives alone in our city Sderot, which we support and give all our love.
Unfortunately, Ciara only lives on the money that she receives from her pension, which she only has enough to cover her minimum expenses for food, medicine and to pay for household services, such as electricity, gas, water and taxes. Even so, many times she struggles to get to the of the month without creating any debt and she feels frustrated by her financial situation, so she expresses her gratitude with all her heart for the help provided by our ministry “City Of Life” and the way in which we constantly take care of her.
On our last visit, Ciara apologized for not being able to offer us those delicious homemade cookies that she used to prepare herself because she shared with us through tears how her oven had stopped working and she could no longer cook bread or the delicious recipes that she liked so much.
Willing to help those in need and faithful to our call to “ease” pain and bring hope to the citizens of our city Sderot and the entire region on the border with Islamic terrorism Hamas in Gaza, our team from the “City Of Life” ministry had the desire to buy Ciara a new and modern portable electric oven with which Ciara can continue to enjoy her favorite activity, cooking.
Our Ciara was extremely happy to receive our gift, since her low pension did not allow her to get a replacement for a damaged oven, and she thanked us for always taking care of her, showing her a special love, love that comes from our Heavenly Father.
You can be part of this project now and bless the elders of our region with your contribution.
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
