New Doors Opening in Afula:
Love in Action Across Cultures

It’s an exciting season here at Home of Jesus the King Church. We’re watching God open new doors for ministry in places we’ve never reached before—and one of the most remarkable is right next door in the Jewish town of Afula.

Over the past few months, word has been spreading in Afula about the humanitarian aid center we operate in Nazareth. More and more people have been making the trip to visit us—not just for help with food or clothing, but because they’ve heard about the warmth, care, and kindness they’ll find here.

For many of our new visitors, it’s their very first time stepping into a community of Arab believers in Jesus. And what they encounter surprises them. They come expecting a simple handout, but they leave having experienced genuine friendship, heartfelt prayers, and acts of love that reflect the heart of Yeshua.

Some have even told us, “We didn’t know this kind of love existed between Arabs and Jews.”

It’s in moments like these that the Gospel is lived out—not in sermons or debates, but in the quiet power of compassion. A bag of groceries, a warm conversation over tea, a prayer offered in sincerity—these simple acts carry the fragrance of Christ. Slowly but surely, they’re building bridges of trust that nothing else could.

This is only possible because of the grace of God and the faithful support of friends and partners like you. Your giving, your prayers, and your encouragement are not just helping people survive—you are helping hearts open to the love of Jesus.

In this week’s video, you’ll meet Alex and his wife from Afula.

They came to our aid center for help, but left with far more—a new friendship and a renewed hope. In their own words, they wanted to say “thank you” to all of our partners. As you watch, you can see the joy and gratitude in their faces. It’s the fruit of your love in action.

God is expanding our reach, multiplying our impact, and writing stories of reconciliation in this land. We’re excited to see where He will take us next, and we know that together, we’ll keep lifting up the name of Yeshua in Israel—until revival comes.

Call to Action:

You can be part of this ongoing story of love and reconciliation! Pray for our growing ministry in Afula, share this message with friends and family, and consider supporting our humanitarian and outreach work. Every act of generosity helps shine the light of Jesus further into Israel. Together, we can continue building bridges that glorify God and transform lives.

Thank you for walking this road with us. May the Lord bless you richly for your part in this Kingdom work.
