Home of Jesus The King Church - Nazareth, Israel

15/06/2026

A building is only valuable because of the lives it serves.

For years, we have had the privilege of walking alongside Holocaust survivors, new immigrants, struggling families, single mothers, and individuals facing difficult circumstances throughout northern Israel. Again and again, we have seen how practical compassion can restore dignity, build trust, and remind people that they are not alone.

That is why the new HomeJTK Aid Center in Nof HaGalil means so much to us.

This is not simply a property project. It is a place where relationships will be built, where vulnerable people will find support, and where God’s love will be demonstrated through practical care for many years to come. From food assistance and humanitarian aid to friendship, encouragement, and community, this center will help us continue serving people across the Galilee with consistency and compassion.

As an Arab congregation serving in Israel, we are especially grateful that this center will also help us continue building bridges of friendship and trust between Jewish and Arab communities. Every person who walks through these doors will be treated with dignity, respect, and genuine care.

We are now very close to making this vision a reality. Thanks to the generosity of faithful friends and partners, much of the funding has already been provided. We need less than $100,000 to fully secure and prepare the center for ministry use before the end of June.

Please pray with us as we take these final steps. Our prayer is that future generations will not remember a building, but the lives that were touched, the hope that was restored, and the relationships that were formed within its walls.

Thank you and God bless!

This past weekend, our congregation at Home of Jesus the King Church experienced a beautiful reminder of God’s heart for the nations.

Believers from Japan, Israel, and Africa joined us for worship and fellowship in Nazareth. Different languages filled the room. Different cultures were represented. Yet we were united by something far greater than our differences—our shared faith in Yeshua.

One especially moving moment came when we prayed the Lord’s Prayer together in Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic. Hearing these voices rise together as one prayer to our Heavenly Father was a powerful reminder that God is gathering people from every tribe, language, and nation into His family.

We were also blessed when one of our guests led worship in Japanese. Although many of us did not understand the words, we understood the heart behind them. The same Savior was being worshiped. The same Holy Spirit was present. The same love for Yeshua filled the room.

As an Arab congregation serving in Nazareth, moments like these encourage us deeply. They remind us that the Gospel breaks down barriers, builds bridges, and unites people who might otherwise never meet.

Please pray that the Lord would continue strengthening the unity of believers throughout Israel and around the world. Pray that our congregation would remain a place where people from different nations can encounter God’s love, worship together, and experience the transforming power of Yeshua.

Recently, our team has been preparing to welcome families from the B’nei Menashe community as they arrive in Nof HaGalil and begin building new lives in Israel.

Over the coming months, approximately 900 members of this Jewish community from northeastern India are expected to make aliyah and settle in Israel. As they arrive, many will need practical support as they adjust to a new country, language, and culture.

Together with the Municipality of Nof HaGalil, we have been preparing welcome packages filled with hygiene products, clothing, bedding, and other essentials to help make their first weeks a little easier.

One moment especially touched my heart. As we worked together, a municipal representative shared how grateful he was for the partnership we have built over the years. Standing there together, I was reminded how beautiful it is to see Jewish and Arab people serving side by side to bless others.

The headlines often focus on division, but every day God is building relationships, growing trust, and creating opportunities for people from different backgrounds to care for one another.

Please pray for the B’nei Menashe families as they begin this new chapter in Israel. Pray that they would experience provision, friendship, encouragement, and a warm welcome as they settle into their new homes.

Thank you for standing with us as we serve the people of Israel through practical compassion and meaningful relationships.

Many people arrive in Israel carrying stories that few others see.

Over the past several years, we have had the privilege of meeting Ukrainian and Russian immigrants who left behind homes, careers, possessions, friendships, and in some cases the trauma of war itself. While every journey is different, many share a common challenge: learning how to begin again.

At Home of Jesus the King Church, we believe that practical compassion matters. Through food assistance, clothing, household necessities, prayer, and personal encouragement, we seek to stand alongside individuals and families as they build new lives here in Israel.

But over the years, we have learned that people often need more than practical help. They need friendship. They need community. They need to know they are seen, valued, and not facing their struggles alone.

Recently, a woman named Sveta shared how much it means to be welcomed each time she visits. She spoke about the kindness she has experienced and the comfort of knowing there is a place where people genuinely care. Her words reminded us that while food packages and practical assistance are important, what often leaves the deepest impact is the dignity, belonging, and love people encounter along the way.

Please continue praying for Ukrainian and Russian immigrants who are rebuilding their lives in Israel. Pray for provision, healing, strength, and meaningful relationships as they navigate this new chapter. Pray also that our congregation would continue to be a place where God’s love is demonstrated through both practical care and genuine human connection.

Thank you for helping us stand alongside so many individuals and families during some of life’s most challenging transitions.

Recently, I had the privilege of participating in the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, joining believers, pastors, ministry leaders, and friends of Israel from many nations who had gathered with one purpose—to pray for Israel and seek the peace of Jerusalem.

As I looked around the room, I was deeply encouraged. In a world that often feels divided, it was a beautiful reminder that God continues to unite people around His heart and His purposes. Men and women from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds came together because they love Israel and desire to see God’s peace, salvation, and blessing in this land.

One of the great privileges of the gathering was having the opportunity to pray publicly for Israel and for Arab leaders throughout our region. As an Arab believer serving in Nazareth, these moments carry special meaning for me. For many years, God has placed a burden on my heart to see friendship, understanding, and cooperation grow between Arabs and Jews. I continue to believe that God can heal divisions, soften hearts, and build bridges where barriers once existed.

The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast was also an opportunity to reconnect with ministry friends and meet new partners from around the world. I was grateful to share about what God is doing through Home of Jesus the King Church and our ongoing efforts to serve both Jewish and Arab communities through practical compassion, prayer, and relationship-building.

I returned home encouraged and grateful. Again and again, I was reminded that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. God is raising up believers from many nations who faithfully pray, give, serve, and stand with Israel.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in prayer. Together, we believe for God’s peace, His salvation, and His purposes to be fulfilled throughout this land.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.” — Psalm 122:6

After many years of prayer, planning, and believing God, we are grateful to see a long-held vision moving closer to reality.

Our future HomeJTK Aid Center in Nof HaGalil is not simply a building project. It is an opportunity to establish a permanent place where God’s compassion can be expressed in practical ways throughout northern Israel for many years to come.

Every week we meet the elderly facing loneliness, families struggling under financial pressure, immigrants rebuilding their lives after trauma and displacement, and parents carrying burdens few people see. Again and again, we are reminded that practical care, encouragement, and genuine human connection can bring hope in powerful ways.

This center will allow us to serve consistently from a permanent location, providing food assistance, clothing, emergency aid and ongoing support to both Jewish and Arab communities across the Galilee. It will also strengthen the bridge-building calling God has given us as an Arab believing congregation serving people from different backgrounds.

By God’s faithfulness, the agreement has already been signed. What was once only a vision is now within reach. We now need $100,000 by the end of June to fully secure and prepare the center for ministry use.

If God places this vision on your heart, we invite you to become part of what He is establishing in the Galilee. Your gift will help create a lasting place where families can find support and where practical needs can be met through compassionate action.

One of the beautiful parts of ministry here in Nazareth is being able to serve families in practical ways during difficult seasons. Every week at our HomeJTK center, we prepare food parcels for people across Israel who are struggling with rising living costs — elderly people on fixed incomes, parents trying to provide for their children, and new immigrants rebuilding their lives.

What makes this especially meaningful to us is that we are able to help both Arab and Jewish families, showing God’s love through simple acts of compassion and care.

Recently, however, the sharp drop in the dollar exchange rate against the Israeli shekel has made this work much more challenging. The same donations simply do not stretch as far as they once did, even though the needs continue growing.

Please continue praying for God’s provision, wisdom, and strength as we serve the people He brings across our path. And if you feel led to help us continue preparing food parcels for families in need, we would be so grateful for your partnership.

Thank you for standing with us and helping us bring practical hope here in Israel. ❤️

Some moments in ministry remind us why having a place of refuge matters so much.

Over the years, our Home of Jesus the King center in Nazareth has become a place where people find comfort and hope. Jewish and Arab families, new immigrants, the elderly, those carrying financial pressure, loneliness, fear, or quiet heartbreak—they come knowing they will be welcomed with compassion and genuine care.

Recently, a mother from Ukraine named Valentina came to us carrying devastating news. Her baby son, only three months old, has been diagnosed with cancer in his eye.

As she shared her story, you could feel the weight of a mother’s pain. No parent is prepared for news like this. Her request was simple: “Please pray for my son.”

In moments like these, we cannot always immediately fix what is broken. But we can be present. We can listen. We can stand with someone in their pain. And we can pray.

So that is what we did. We gathered around Valentina, prayed for her precious little boy, and entrusted him into the Lord’s hands.
Today, we are asking our HomeJTK family around the world to stand with us in prayer.

Please pray for complete healing for this precious baby, wisdom for the doctors, strength and peace for Valentina, and God’s mercy to surround this family.

These are the moments that remind us ministry is not just about programs or projects. It is about real people, real pain, and being present with the love of Yeshua when it matters most.

Carrying God’s Heart to the Nations —Interview on Norway’s Kanal 10

Sometimes God opens a door that is far more than an opportunity—it is an assignment.

Recently, I had the privilege of joining an English televised interview on Norway’s Kanal 10 to share a message that is deeply on our hearts here in Nazareth: that genuine faith is not only something we speak about, but something we live through love, obedience, compassion, generosity, and service.

In a world filled with fear, division, and uncertainty, people are searching for hope that is real. During this interview, we spoke about God’s heart for His people, His enduring love for Israel, and the life-changing salvation found in Jesus the Messiah. We also shared the importance of walking faithfully according to God’s Word and allowing His love to shape the way we treat others.

What made this especially meaningful was sensing that this was not simply a television conversation, but a divine opportunity to reach hearts across the nations. God continues to open doors beyond church walls, into homes and lives we may never personally meet.

Please pray that every person who watched would encounter the love of God in a personal way, that believers would be strengthened in faith, and that this message would continue to bear fruit.

Even in troubled times, God’s light is still shining.
