Establishing a Lasting Place for the Lord’s Compassion in the Galilee

There are moments in ministry when you can clearly see that something long prayed for is beginning to take shape before your eyes.

After many years of carrying this vision in our hearts, we are deeply grateful to see the opportunity before us to establish a permanent HomeJTK aid center in Nof HaGalil—a lasting place where the Lord’s compassion can be expressed in practical and meaningful ways for years to come.

This is much more than a building project.

It is about creating a permanent place in northern Israel where people facing difficult seasons can find practical support, encouragement, genuine care, and meaningful human connection. We believe this center will become a place where lives are strengthened, burdens are shared, and the love of God is made visible in tangible ways.

The needs across northern Israel are significant and deeply personal. We regularly encounter elderly Holocaust survivors facing profound loneliness, families under intense financial pressure, and immigrants from Ukraine and Russia trying to rebuild their lives after trauma and displacement. We also meet parents quietly carrying emotional and practical burdens while doing their best to care for their children. In a region that has experienced repeated instability and war, the need for consistent, compassionate care remains very real.

A permanent aid center changes what becomes possible. It creates a stable place from which practical support can be offered consistently, where relationships can be built over time, and where people know they can return and find genuine care. Food assistance, clothing support, emergency aid, pastoral encouragement, and personal connection can all flow from a place designed for long-term service in the Galilee.

This vision also reflects something deeply important in the calling God has given HomeJTK.

As an Arab believing congregation in Israel, we believe the love of God is meant to cross barriers that history, pain, and division have often reinforced. Through our ministry, we already have the privilege of serving both Arab and Jewish communities, and this new center will strengthen that calling even further, creating more opportunities to build trust, relationships, and bridges of compassion across communities.

As followers of Yeshua, we are inspired by His example of moving toward human need with compassion. He cared for the hurting, fed the hungry, and made the heart of God visible through practical acts of mercy. This center is part of our desire to continue living out that calling here in the land where He walked.

By God’s faithfulness, we have already reached a major milestone: the agreement has been signed. What was once a long-held vision is now within reach. But to fully secure and prepare this center for ministry use, we still need $100,000 by the end of June.

We have seen God provide many times before through faithful believers around the world who choose to stand with what He is doing here in Israel. If the Lord places this on your heart, we would be deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership.

This is more than a property purchase. It is an opportunity to establish a lasting place for the Lord’s compassion in northern Israel for many years to come.
