Shalom from Jerusalem,

I am so grateful that you partnered with us as we continue to serve the believing youth of Jerusalem.

The school year is wrapping up, and so is our NerYah youth group. This youth group for believing high schoolers has always been important, but it has become crucial for so many young believers in these difficult times. Many youth have been struggling with difficult things in their lives, and our team has been an important part of them being able to keep their eyes focused on the Lord.

Parents are especially grateful for the spiritual and practical support for their children. One mother had this to say about her daughter:

I am so grateful for the way Emunah and the other female leaders have been there for my daughter. She has been going through some tough challenges, and they are always available for her when she needs to talk or needs encouragement. Whether it’s a phone call, encouraging text messages, or meeting up to talk, she knows she has someone to turn to; that means the world to her. I have always appreciated the team’s dedication to the believing youth, but I appreciate them even more now! Thank you!

Guiding and encouraging the believing youth through difficult times is a key part of discipleship. Our spiritual growth isn’t always easy, and it’s imperative that we are there for them no matter what they face.

Although the regular weekly meetings are finishing this month for the summer break, the team is hard at work planning summer activities. These activities are important so that the youth fill their time in uplifting and constructive ways, and still have regular contact with one another.

You are an integral part of this important work! Thank you for entrusting your offering to Hope for Israel. Your partnership means a great deal to me, my team, and the many people who are blessed by the ministry’s work. Thank you for partaking in our efforts to raise the next generation of young believers in Israel!
