“I had never done anything like this before.”

Joyce spent a morning with Elias and Antoinette at our soup kitchen in Tel Aviv. For the first time, she sat with people living on the streets, talked with them, listened to them, and saw firsthand the conditions they face every day.

What affected her especially were the women. She saw how difficult their situation is, many trapped in addiction and prostitution, and how som**hing as simple as receiving clean socks, underwear, and other basic necessities meant so much to them.

But what Joyce remembers most was simply being there with them. Sharing a conversation. Listening. Showing love to people who often have no one to talk to.

This is what a morning at our soup kitchen looks like through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time.

What does it take for someone living on the streets to trust again?

For many people facing homelessness and addiction in Tel Aviv, trust has been broken again and again. Rebuilding it takes time.

It starts with som**hing simple: learning their name, listening to them, showing them love, sharing a meal, and continuing to come back.

During her time serving with us, Janneke saw how important these relationships are. People need to know they are seen, remembered, and valued.

This is why we keep going to the streets of Tel Aviv. We believe every person deserves to be known by name, and we believe God calls us to love those others often walk past.

Please share this video and help more people see the person behind homelessness.

Yosef was wanted by Interpol, arrested carrying 28 kilograms of crystal m**h, and spent time in a Russian prison. Next week, Elias sits down with him and we hear the whole story.

40 years to figure out the real problem. It was never the drugs.

That's what sin does. It sends you looking everywhere except the right place.

Elias was pulled off the street and taken to rehab. Now he's the one walking those same streets looking for the next person who's ready.

That's what this work looks like.

We keep coming back to the bridge.

The people here want out. They are ready to leave he**in. They are ready to leave co***ne. But the cigarette is what holds them. It sounds small until you understand that it is where addiction begins, and so it is also where freedom has to begin.

We come with Russians, with Arabs, and we preach Jesus and we point toward rehab. A new life is possible. But they have to say yes. You cannot take anyone by force.

Pray for these people. Pray specifically that they can be free from ci******es first.

Morning preparations before the soup kitchen opens. We brought Bibles in three languages, Arabic, Hebrew, and Russian, because the people who will walk through this door today carry different mother tongues but the same hunger. We are here to meet both.

Food will be served in a little while. But we believe no one leaves truly fed if only their body is cared for. The Word travels with us wherever we go, not as an afterthought, but as the reason we show up in the first place.

This is what ministry looks like on an ordinary morning. Quiet, practical, and full of intention.

Every day, outside our kitchen where we serve meals, we witness som**hing that breaks our hearts.

Girls are being trafficked right here. Cars pull up, men wait, and these young women are taken. It happens daily. We see it with our own eyes, and we don't always know what to do except pray and ask God to open a door.

Elias shares what we're believing for: a safe house, a place of refuge where these girls can find help and healing. The need is urgent and very real, for both women and men caught in this darkness.

If you want to stand with us in this, please pray. If you feel led to give, your donation goes directly toward meeting this kind of need on the ground.

Thank you for your love and your faithful support. God bless you.
