I Made it Through Ceasefires & Beyond: Neomi's Journey
36 kilos of meat oh my!
Arrival & Settling In
Amidst conflict, I arrived in Haifa by God's grace. In my second week at Aliya House, I see new immigrants returning due to the war. Many homes lack proper shelters, but Haifa House offers one. We have newcomers from various countries.
My current duties include mostly housekeeping. Though it feels repetitive at times, I remind myself I’m serving those returning to this land from around the world according to God's Word & His divine timetable!
Initially, I felt deep loneliness and spiritual heaviness in Haifa, missing the familiarity of Jerusalem. Haifa’s diverse atmosphere feels spiritually distinct.
Passing the Bahai gardens (I live very close), I pray for cleansing and for the Spirit of the One true God to move throughout the city.
This loneliness has helped me connect with new immigrants, especially single women. One woman, “Arianna, * a recent immigrant from Russia, shared her struggles, saying:
Every day is hard...But I can't look back
Pray for these new immigrants, for their spiritual protection, strength, community, and clarity as they integrate into society. It's not easy here.
"I will plant Israel in their own land, never to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. Amos 9:15
Refugee Project & Update
Spending time with refugee families was a mutual blessing.
In Modi'in, with dear friends, we bought premium meat and grocery gift cards, visiting three families.
Recent immigrants from Ukraine, experienced a miracle in their immigration process. Life here is challenging, with job instability and rising costs. Pray for provision and belonging.
Another family, with three sons and a daughter needing medical help, fled Ukraine seeking safety. Without insurance, costs are high. Your generosity provided them with funds and enough meat for two weeks.
$150 provides 12 Kilos of meat which last for about 2 weeks!
A local pastor’s family, with seven children, helps others struggling here. He asks for prayers for those who have strayed from faith and for the local community to be strong and steadfast.
We haven’t visited a mother and her five children yet. She’s in a desert area with little community support but God connected her & her children with the local group. Please pray for her!
How You Can Help ?
We’re planning a special event for these families.
On June 21, we hope to host a Water Fun Day for 12–15 children from difficult backgrounds, featuring water activities and pizza.
Total Cost: $650 (renting large water slides and foam pool)
Call to Action:
Pray for these families—for protection, provision, healing, and faith.
Consider contributing to the Water Fun Day (any amount helps!).

We recieved a new request for 5 helmets for a Reserve Unit with new soldiers coming in. Right now we have no incoming or available funds for this. If you would like to purchase a level 3A helmet for this Reserve Shooting Unit please shoot me an email and specifiy your donation. Each helmet is $350. Thank You!
I want to add a more personal note. Most of our donors are the same few who give out of very little. It's really amazing! I want to ask you... if you are reading this to ask God if you should or could give, if you have not before. I also ask you to forward this to those God puts on your heart. Thank you!
