Has anyone ever heard of a SOG (Standard Operating Gear)? I hadn't...until I arrived in Israel! It's similar to a Leatherman but with a black coating, making it more tactical. It combines pliers, scissors, a knife, a screwdriver, and more into one tool! In the IDF, it's an absolutely crucial tool for fixing broken appliances, cleaning weapons, and even cutting hair! If you want to brighten a soldier's day and make their life a bit easier, consider contributing $50-60 to purchase one! We managed to gift 10 of these sets to a unit of 120 combat soldiers active in Gaza! These tools were a huge hit, and naturally, they're already asking for more. Just today, I delivered 6 tools to a communications officer whose unit is heading into Gaza in a few days!
Please pray for G-d's strong arm of protection over these soldiers as they enter dangerous territory in the coming days.
Please pray that every single encounter we have with these guys, G-d will use as a strong word of encouragement to their hearts!
Special Uniforms for a Special Unit
The Help Israel Now Project successfully collaborated with a remarkable individual in the Land to acquire 4 unique sets of uniforms for a tank unit soon to be deployed into Gaza. What's exciting is that I met these guys last summer, and we all shared a coffee together. They are the nicest guys! Young. Strong. Humble. Eager to serve the Country they love and return home to their families. I cherish these ongoing relationships. One member of the unit had a baby since his last deployment and baby boy "Natan" is about 6 months old!
Please pray for these brave men to be bold and courageous as they serve and for G-d to work His character into their lives and hearts.
Just a quick update on Project Quiet Waters! We are soon sending our second couple on a retreat to the Sea of Galilee. *David reached out to me after hearing about the project we have to help support IDF soldiers and their families, in assisting them with a small get away after their long days of service. David lost his brother on 7 October, who was an officer in the IDF. David has been fighting nonstop ever since and only now is released to take much needed time off. Please pray for David and his wife as they will leave soon to travel to the shores of the Kineret (Sea of Galilee) for a special time of respite together.
Thank you for making this happen! Each retreat costs approximately $500.00 a couple / family, if you feel led to give!
Behold the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Psalm 121:4
