Grateful for 2025, Looking Ahead to 2026 — Shining the Light of Jesus Together

Описание: As we come to the end of this year, I want to take a moment from my heart to say thank you. I am deeply grateful to every friend, partner, and supporter who has walked with us throughout 2025. Your trust, your prayers, and your generosity have made it possible for us to continue blessing families, serving communities, and building bridges between Arabs and Jews—even in a year filled with challenges and difficult circumstances.

Despite everything that has taken place in 2025, the work of the Lord has not stopped. God has been faithful. Week after week, as you receive our weekly newsletters, you see the fruit of what He is doing here on the ground in Nazareth and beyond. Lives are being touched, hearts are opening, and hope is being shared in the name of Jesus.

I want to thank you personally for your prayers and for every donation you have sent. These acts of faith truly make a difference. They enable us to continue sharing the Gospel and demonstrating the love of Christ in practical ways. Many of you have already seen what happened during the Christmas Parade in Nazareth. The response was overwhelming—so many comments, so many testimonies, and so many hearts moved by God’s love. If you have not yet seen it, I invite you to watch and read more in this week’s newsletter.

As we look toward 2026, my heart is full of faith and expectation. I am praying for greater fruit, for more people to come to Christ, and for continued opportunities to share the Good News with both Arabs and Jews. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world,” and when He ascended to heaven, He entrusted that calling to us, saying, “You are the light of the world.”

How do we live as that light? I believe it begins by building bridges—choosing love, reconciliation, and truth. When we walk this way, people can see the light of Yeshua through our lives. I invite you to come and see what God is doing here, and to continue being part of this journey with us.

One of the great answers to prayer as we enter the new year is the launch of our second branch in Haifa at the beginning of 2026. Through this new work, we will serve Ukrainian and Russian refugees, reach Muslim families, and continue shining the light of Yeshua in new communities. This is only possible because you are part of this family—helping us help others.

From the city of Nazareth, I want to wish you a blessed, fruitful New Year. May the Lord bless you and your families abundantly. Please know that we love you, we pray for you, and we are grateful for all that you have done, all that you are doing now, and all that you will do in the future.

Thank you for standing with Home of Jesus the King Church!
