Project Messianic Congregation Kiryat Gat


The 1,500 euro for Follow-up Project Coffee bus Teen Challenge Czech Republic came in super fast. Thank you very much for your quick and generous response.

We are currently on a tour through Northern Italy, where we are visiting believers who are doing wonderful work. We will write about this in a later post. For now we want to introduce to you to a new project in Israel.

Our church De Hoeksteen in Etten-Leur has good relationships with Messianic Congregation Beit Hallel in Ashdod. Pastor Israel Pochtar is the pastor there. They also have a smaller sister congregation in Kiryat Gat, a town to the South East. A few weeks ago someone threw a gasoline bomb (Molotov cocktail) through the window and a fire broke out. It did great damage to the building where the believers meet and also to the instruments and furniture, everything was destroyed.

Thank God, help is coming from all sides and Traveling Light would love to offer a token of love and encouragement as well. It would be great if we could bless them with a gift of 2,000 euro for the restoration of their building and the purchase of new instruments. The believers (whether they have a Jewish, Arab, Bedouin or Christian background) are being persecuted there. This is our chance to encourage and bless them. Do you want to join us in this effort?
