Dear Friends, I realize I’m not nearly as good at updating you as I should be, but I can safely say that God has easily made this Bridge to Israel’s biggest year yet!  Last December, I was so blessed by all of you for helping to raise $12,000 in an effort to support several of our ministry partners in Israel and to start working on some of our own projects. In April, the Christ in the Passover Seder was an amazing night, with over 100 people involved! In May, God graciously b

Join MHCC & Bridge to Israel for our annual Christ in the Passover Seder on Tuesday, April 15 at 6:30 PM. Passover is the annual celebration of God delivering Israel out of bondage in Egypt. Passover is not just a Jewish celebration, it is one of God's feasts that we too can and should participate in! The entire seder, with its various elements, was designed to help the Jewish people to look back and remember God's faithfulness. Passover is certainly an important Biblical f

I’ve had a few people ask me recently, “Do you think this is the end times?” The context for their question had more to do with the world’s fight against Israel and how we know Israel remains a key figure—and a controversial one—up until the last days. But even without that context, is it difficult to imagine that the world we live in today might be rapidly approaching its end as we know it? That the labor pains we are warned about (1 Thessalonians 5:3) are the pains we see o

Praise God! Our $10,000 December challenge has been fully funded! Praise God even if it had not been funded! THANK YOU! So many of you have shown such generosity. I have to be honest—I did not fully expect this. This is the first fundraising campaign that Bridge to Israel has attempted, and I'm not exactly confident in this area. One night at Bible study back in November, I was feeling led in this direction and I asked for prayer for guidance and boldness. That very night, a

Dear Friends, It's been quite a year for Israel. Amidst a multi-front war, a skyrocketing increase in antisemitism and a world that seems to have completely turned on it's head, one thing remains true— Israel needs Yeshua . For a people experiencing an endless tirade of hatred, attacks and challenges to their identity, the hope that we find in Jesus is a hope that can change this nation. I believe that the best path to reaching Israel for Jesus is two-fold: By supporting and

חג פורים שמח! ! Happy Purim Esther 4:14b (ESV) “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Purim is a fun day of celebration, delicious hamantashen and costumes… but it’s also an IMPORTANT holiday! Without God using Mordecai and Esther to save the Jews from the evil plans of Haman, we wouldn’t have the birth of Yeshua just five centuries later! God truly has a master plan that spans all of time, doesn’t He?! Esther was exiled, orphaned, o

For the past two years, I’ve had the incredible blessing of being in Israel for Sukkot, specifically in Haifa. This photo is from two years ago at Beit Eliyahu with Pastor Shmuel Aweida , my “home congregation” when in Israel. This year, the holidays look very different as Israel is under a strict lockdown. While I’m not under the same lockdown here in Georgia, there’s nothing like celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles in the Holy Land! We see in John 7:1-24 (ESV) that Jesus

Today is Yom Ha'Atzmaut! It may be Israel’s 72nd birthday, but God has been setting Israel apart for thousands of years!
