"We had a great party in Ottawa celebrating Holocaust survivors, but also asked for forgiveness. Being aware that this trust needs to be built is a huge part of Jewish-Christian relations," added Sharon.
Aaron commented, "The way you gain trust is through honesty, perserverance and serving."
Beyond the organization’s three mandates, they are collaborating on a groundbreaking initiative in Canada that is geared towards elevating the love shown towards Jewish people in Israel.
The project they are involved in is Canadian initiative called the Loving God Blessing Israel (www.lovinggodblessingisrael.com) project. This is a team from Israel, Canada, Britain and the United States responding to a Canadian vision to drive 10 White Trucks across Canada from sea to sea - bringing a message of restoration, to give extravagantly out of reverence and love for the Heavenly Father, according to His Word.
CMJ Canada had felt through prayer that they had heard God say they should establish a Canada House in Israel to help Jewish believers struggling in the Land. In 2013, Return Ministries said they had felt a separate call to have houses in Israel in the Galilee to support new Jewish immigrants in Israel that had made Aliyah.
Sharon commented, "We looked at each other and said maybe this is the Lord and we should work together."
While in Israel scouting for properties to set up this work in the Galilee, they found that there were other Jewish believers in Israel looking at the same areas also wanting and needing space for facilities to conduct their work in the Land. Together everyone sensed that the Lord was doing something new and great in the Galilee.
