Daria’s Heartfelt Words of Thanks

At Home of Jesus the King Church, we see every day how God’s love builds bridges—between cultures, between neighbors, and between hearts.

Recently, Pastor Saleem spent time with Daria, a Jewish immigrant who made aliyah from Ukraine two and a half years ago. Having fled one war, she soon found herself living through the turmoil of conflict here in Israel as well.

For Daria, life in a new land has not been easy. The trauma of war and the challenges of starting over have left deep marks. Yet in the midst of these difficulties, she has experienced something life-giving: the warmth of care, the comfort of community, and the reassurance that she is not alone. Through the prayers and support of our partners, she has seen the love of God expressed in real, practical ways—whether through food baskets, holiday gifts, or simple words of encouragement in her own language.

Why This Matters

Every act of kindness extended in love is more than a gesture—it is a bridge. For people like Daria, these bridges connect them to healing, dignity, and hope. They remind families who have endured so much that God’s love reaches across every barrier, meeting them right where they are.

A Personal Thank You

We want to thank you, our partners and friends, for making these stories possible. Your prayers and giving are woven into every moment of care and every bridge of compassion that is built. Because of your faithfulness, lives are being touched, strengthened, and uplifted.

As we approach the Fall Feasts and the season of Rosh Hashanah, we are reminded that this is a time of reflection, renewal, and community. Together, let us continue to be instruments of God’s love in action, helping Jewish families in Israel feel seen, supported, and embraced in this special season.
