An Evening of Stories. An Evening of Hope. ❤️

This past evening, Tikkun Olam Messianic Congregation was blessed to be a silver sponsor of the Richland Pregnancy Services Annual Gala.

We heard stories that broke our hearts. Stories of teenagers facing overwhelming circumstances and contemplating the unthinkable. Stories of twin babies whose lives were spared from abortion. And woven throughout the evening, we heard something even more powerful—stories of HOPE.

Hope for the unborn. Hope for frightened young mothers. Hope for families who discover that they do not have to walk through life’s hardest moments alone.

As followers of Yeshua, we believe that every life is precious, every person bears the image of God, and no circumstance is beyond the reach of His love and redemption.

The hope of Messiah isn’t merely something we proclaim. It’s something we are called to demonstrate. Through compassion, through generosity, and through standing alongside those who need to know they are loved.

We are grateful for the faithful work of Richland Pregnancy Services and for the opportunity to play even a small part in what Adonai is doing through this ministry.

May every mother facing fear find compassion. May every child be welcomed with love. And may every family discover the hope that is found in Messiah Yeshua.

“Repairing the Breach. Restoring Hope.” — Isaiah 58

During the High Holy Days, we were humbled to have the opportunity to come alongside two families in need.

In Leviticus 23, right in the midst of the appointed times, the Torah pauses the festival instructions to say:

“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very corners of your field… You are to leave them for the poor and the outsider.” — Leviticus 23:22

It is such a beautiful reminder that worship of Adonai was never meant to end at the altar or the sanctuary. Our celebration, repentance, prayer, and rejoicing are meant to overflow into care for one another.

Following that pattern, the food collected throughout the High Holy Days was given to families who needed it. We also set aside every special offering received during Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot to bless those in need.

And we simply have to say how grateful we are for the people of Tikkun Olam Messianic Center. Again and again, you quietly give, serve, bring food, meet needs, and open your hearts. Your generosity made this possible.

Special thanks also to the sweet souls at Irresistible that provided toys and clothing items for the little ones.

But ultimately, the praise belongs to Messiah.

Paul writes:

“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you fulfill the Torah of Messiah.” — Galatians 6:2

And there is one little detail in these pictures that we didn’t even notice until afterward.

Sitting among the donations is a box marked “NESS.”

In Hebrew, nes (נֵס) means a banner or standard lifted up for people to see—and nes is also the Hebrew word commonly used for a miracle.

That immediately brought to mind the words of Isaiah:

“In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will seek Him.” — Isaiah 11:10

For us, that banner is Yeshua our Messiah.

We didn’t place that box there intentionally, and we certainly don’t want to make too much of a coincidence—but what a fitting little reminder in a picture about generosity: our banner is Messiah, and every opportunity to love and care for another person is a chance to point back to Him.

This is what we want Tikkun Olam—repairing the world—to look like: not merely something we talk about, but something we live.

May Messiah continue to make us a people with open hands, open hearts, and eyes to see the needs around us.

To Him be all the glory.

Before the joyous celebration of Shemini Atzeret began today, Tikkun Olam paused.

We paused to remember the approximately 1,200 precious souls whose lives were taken on October 7. Today marks the 3 anniversary on the Hebrew calendar.

A yahrzeit candle is traditionally lit in memory of a loved one. Today, we lit twelve—one candle for every 100 lives brutally taken.

Their flames burned quietly before us as a reminder: a life may be taken, but a soul is eternal.

Before we danced, before we rejoiced, before the celebration began—we remembered.

We remembered the lives.
We remembered the families.
We remembered the horror.
And we remembered our responsibility to carry their memory forward.

May their memories be for a blessing.

May we never forget.
