Imagine walking into a place where every shelf, every box, every conversation carries a story—of survival, of loss, of hope slowly being rebuilt. A place where a Holocaust survivor stands beside a new immigrant, where a refugee finds stability, and where someone who has felt invisible for years is finally seen. This is the kind of place we have been building toward for years. And now, for the first time, it is within reach.
By God’s grace, we have officially signed the agreement for a new humanitarian aid center in Nof HaGalil.
This is more than a milestone—it is a testimony of God’s faithfulness over time. What began quietly in prayer and obedience is now taking shape as something real, something lasting, something that will serve people not just for a moment, but for years to come.
Nof HaGalil has become deeply personal to us. Through years of humanitarian work, relationship-building, and partnership with the local community, the Lord has opened doors that only compassion could open. In seasons of war and uncertainty, we have stood alongside families in need—supporting Holocaust survivors, helping new immigrants begin again, walking with refugees from Ukraine and Russia, and caring for those facing daily hardship. Time and again, we have seen that when people are met with genuine kindness, their hearts begin to open in ways that words alone could never accomplish. As Scripture reminds us,
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven”
Matthew 5:16
This new center will allow that light to shine even further.
It will be a place where Jewish and Arab families can come for practical help—food, clothing, and emergency support—but also for something deeper: dignity, belonging, and hope. It will be a place where relationships are built, where trust is restored, and where the love of Yeshua is revealed not only through words, but through consistent acts of care. In a region that often feels divided, this center will stand as a quiet but powerful expression of unity, compassion, and peace lived out in everyday life.
We truly believe this place will become a lighthouse.
A lighthouse does not remove the storm, but it helps people find their way through it. It stands steady in the middle of uncertainty, offering direction, safety, and hope. That is our prayer—that this center would become a visible witness of God’s presence, guiding people not only through life’s challenges, but toward the One who sees them, knows them, and calls them by name. As it is written, “I will make you a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6).
While signing the agreement is a major step forward, we are not at the finish line yet. To fully secure this building and prepare it for ministry, we need to raise the remaining $226,000 by the end of June 2026. We have taken this step in faith, trusting that the same God who opened this door will also make a way to complete what He has begun.
And this is where you become part of the story.
First, we ask for your prayers—that this center would be established on a foundation of wisdom, peace, and God’s presence from the very beginning. Pray for every person who will walk through these doors, that what begins as a search for help would become an encounter with hope. We also invite you to partner with us financially. Every gift matters. No seed is too small in the Kingdom of God. What may seem like a simple act of giving can become a turning point in someone else’s life. Scripture reminds us,
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give… for God loves a cheerful giver”
2 Corinthians 9:7
This is more than a building. It is a place where lives will be touched, where communities will be strengthened, and where the light of God will shine in a way that is both practical and eternal.
Thank you for standing with us, for believing with us, and for helping us build something that will impact countless lives. Together, we are not just meeting needs—we are establishing a light that will guide many home.
With love and gratitude,
Pastor Saleem Shalash
