activities, made possible through donations and service,” Karina said.“ Because of this, God has given me the privilege of meeting and helping people practically— assisting with translations and accompanying them to doctor visits, hospitals, emergency services, banks, and the post office. These relationships often open doors to deeper conversations, revealing their spiritual and emotional needs.
“ Through these encounters, I have been able to share my testimony, present the message of salvation, and disciple individuals as they grow in faith. Our mission is clear— to preach the Good News, demonstrate his love, and bring hope to a broken and needy world. Every small act of service creates an opportunity to reflect the light of Christ and his salvation. To God be all the glory and honor!”
Yosi experienced God’ s purpose for him in the midst of war. Due to the ongoing war, the Israeli Army called Yosi to reserve duty. By God’ s grace, he served in a less volatile area of the West Bank. Being away from home was difficult— especially leaving behind his pregnant wife and their two young daughters— but he trusted that God had a purpose for him there.
“ Spending two months in the army, away from my family, wasn’ t easy,” Yosi
shared.“ But looking back, I see how God used this time. I had many opportunities to share my faith with fellow soldiers— many of whom had nowhere else to turn. Not everyone wanted to listen, but most were eager to hear what I had to say. Even in difficult times, God can use our lives to bring light and hope.”
