Project support for Israel

Many people ask how they can support Israel in its battle against Hamas.

Obviously prayer is a very important point. Prayer for a quick end to this terrible situation. Furthermore, it is very important that as Christians we do not get our information from secular news sources, but from reliable sources.

We recommend viewing and reading news and background information via, for example:

And there are many more news sources that bring the news from a Biblical perspective.

We are in contact with our friend Brian Slater in Israel. He continues his work in the food bank in Netanya through his organization Abundant Bread of Salvation. He could use extra help, because a lot of food parcels are being distributed.

We are also in contact with friends who are distributing food parcels to civilians in bomb shelters in the south, including many Ukrainians who fled the war in their own country a year ago. They do what they can and they too can surely use prayer and financial help.

Project Teen Challenge Groups studies for the Netherlands

As most of you know by now, a large part of the projects we support have to do with the faith-based recovery programs of Teen Challenge.

The various rehabilitation centers that we visit throughout Europe are home to men and women who have indicated that they want to turn their backs on their life-threatening problems.

Of course, you cannot force anyone to become a Christian, but over time most come to see that the world has no lasting solution and that Jesus Christ does indeed offer the hope and new life they so long for.

Through personal and group studies the students in the programs learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. The studies have been translated into several languages, now also in Dutch.

We have said so many times: "Everyone should follow these studies, they are so practical!" The lessons are really interesting, not just for ex-addicts, but also for new believers, church groups, or groups in prisons.

The Group Studies for New Life parts 1 to 7 have now been printed and are currently being used in two churches in Zaandam and Heerhugowaard. As Traveling Light, we would also like to offer the group studies this coming winter, especially to those who have taken the Alpha course.

👉However, lessons 8 to 14 have yet to be printed. We would like to help Teen Challenge Netherlands with this by making a donation for (part of) the costs. Will you help?
