We've been so blessed to be able to serve the poor here in Israel in very practical ways. The last three Thursdays we have helped serve the poor and homeless at CC-Tel Aviv with food, clothing and blankets. Unfortunately there was a very intense thunderstorm which caused some leakage, and water damaged some of the clothes last week, but some people from the states randomly came and donated clothes so we have more to give away this week!
Last week a man at the soup kitchen named Zoar that was incredibly drunk, and ended up passing out on the ground right outside the Congregation. After the soup kitchen was over they woke him up and he replied saying, "I can't live like this anymore!" This is true because every year many of these people don't make it. There is a new rehabilitation program that has just started that is a Christ and Bible centered. Its focused on reaching those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol and sharing the love of Jesus with them..They asked Zoar if he wanted to enter the program, and he said yes. We just heard this week that he is doing well and has accepted Jesus! Please pray for him and others like him.
*Most of these people don't like being photographed, so we want to respect them. There are about 100 people that come each week, most of them are Russian Jews that have immigrated here.*
Thank you all for your prayers!!! Love you!
