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.

Tom came to serve and left with a story he did not expect. A man pointed at a card that said 'Jesus Loves You' and asked, tell me about Jesus. He had already read the New Testament. He just needed time to think. That is the Holy Spirit at work. Known by Name keeps showing up for the marginalized, the forgotten, the ones the world walks past, and the word is spreading. Third Tuesday in a row, jam-packed. Keep praying, and pray for them by name. 🙏

Shalom from a place where people come not just for food or clothes, but for love, warmth, and a touch of the Holy Spirit. Lilly shares what makes this community so special and why lives keep getting transformed here. This is what ministry looks like in real life. 🙏✨

These words mean a lot to us. We are grateful to serve here at the soup kitchen and to welcome everyone who comes through our doors. Each person has a name. None are invisible. They are seen, and they are known.

They turned up the music. They started dancing. They laughed in his face.

But he kept preaching. And we kept standing.
This is what the streets of Tel Aviv look like sometimes. Not everyone wants to hear. Some will do anything to drown out the voice. Loud music, mockery, intimidation, none of it moves us, because we are not here on our own authority.

God sees every person in that crowd. The one dancing to drown it out. The one throwing punches. God knew their names before they were born, and that is exactly why we do not walk away.

Pray for Tel Aviv. Pray for every voice being raised and every person trying to silence it.
