It’s 4am, and we just had to jump out of bed and run to the nearby shelter as over 100 ballistic missiles from Iran were intercepted over us. There were direct hits near us, including a fire, which we can see the clouds of from our house 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ... See MoreSee Less

If you’d told me a year ago that I’d enjoy living in Israel, I would’ve laughed. After fourteen years in the Land, I was tired. Tired of being an outsider, surviving rather than thriving, not being able to communicate, and scanning the streets for the nearest bomb shelter. I wanted a life of my own, with a community of people my age, in a language I understood, and in a place where I wasn’t afraid of attacks. Surely that life couldn’t be found in Israel…. Right?Fast forward eleven months, and by God’s grace, my perspective has undergone a complete 180-degree shift. For the first time since moving to Israel, I’m seeing through restored eyes. Don’t get me wrong, there are still hardships to overcome here, but my ten months away showed me that while we can settle anywhere and be content, that doesn’t mean the loneliness and misunderstandings vanish. The real question is: Are we in the right place to break through those feelings to make an impact?I’d like to think I made a difference while I was in Wales, and I truly enjoyed my season there. But when the New Year arrived, and I had to watch Israel mourn and celebrate the release of hostages during the ceasefire from afar, my heart cried to return. This emotional reaction surprised me because I’d spent years asking God to take me out of Israel. I expected to leave without a second glance. But the longer I was away, the stronger the longing to return home became.What made that absence harder was that no one around me could truly understand the turmoil I felt. While some were sympathetic, most quickly moved on. In their eyes, the war was only happening in the Middle East. But a simple walk through their cities or a glance at the headlines showed that the battle was already on their doorstep.In a recent conversation with a friend, I admitted that I’d rather face daily missile attacks than walk through Europe and face antisemitic hate. Why? Because when the sirens sound, everyone — Jew, Christian, Muslim, atheist — is affected. But when pro-Palestinians attack a Jew or Israel supporter, it’s isolated. It’s dismissed. People walk by because they don’t think it’s their problem.I thought leaving Israel meant finding peace and safety, but I quickly learned that I had a new battle to fight. As antisemitic attacks increase worldwide, we cannot separate Israel and Jew hate as though they are not one and the same! It’s 2025, and our society is failing to stand with its neighbors, speak up against hate and discrimination, or take action when someone is in trouble. Where are today’s Good Samaritans?“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” ~ Galatians 6:9-10To those who live in the Land, have family here, or carry this place in their hearts: keep standing firm and sharing your story with others. Although it doesn’t feel like it, more people are standing with you than against you. Nevertheless, I understand how exhausting it is to defend oneself, hide your Magen David or Chai (life) necklaces, and remain on constant alert. I hope you can find others going through similar things so you can lean on one another, because we cannot do this journey alone. As Erin Phillips wrote in her latest book, The Betrayal of Eden, “Sometimes what people need most isn’t to be saved. Just to have their struggle known eases the pain.”To my Yeshua-believing brothers and sisters — especially those who haven’t visited Israel or who don’t yet understand the Land’s significance — I urge you to ask God to reveal His heart for Israel through His Word and begin having genuine conversations with Messianic believers and Israelis. Not to debate but to listen. Even if you don’t know what to say or how to relate, simply showing interest and being present is a powerful way to bridge the gap.It’s not enough to say, “I support Israel,” while ignoring the antisemitism rising in your own streets — or overlooking the hurting brothers and sisters beside you who are carrying the weight of war alone. We don’t need token gestures or well-meaning slogans. We need solidarity. We need believers who are willing to listen, learn, and act. Because this war isn’t just Israel’s, it’s yours too! You are part of us. We are one Body. And it’s time to start living like it!“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” ~ Galatians 3:26-29I’m not the same person I was a year ago, and I’m so grateful for the restorative work God is doing on my heart. The last fifteen years have affected me more than I realized. As a kid, I listened to Bible stories and thought of Israel as a far-off land. When we moved here, I got excited about walking where Yeshua walked, but I could have taken it or left it. Now, as an adult, I don’t think I could stay away for long. This nation is engraved on my heart, and being back has ignited a fire in me like never before!Since returning home, I’ve watched the Lord answer my prayers and reshape my life here. I’ve been welcomed into a community, gained new friends, gone on adventures that highlighted His goodness, walked the streets without fear, and no longer resent Hebrew. It’s as if God were waiting for me to jump in with both feet before unlocking the blessings that come with obedience. Each day is a new opportunity to learn, encourage, and speak truth.Though my heart longs to stay in Israel, I’m scheduled to return to the UK for a short visit at the end of this month. I pray the Lord will open doors for me to share my testimony during this upcoming trip, so others may pick up their swords and fight alongside us in this battle.“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” ~ Ephesians 1:18-19Please share this article with others — ...

**PLEASE READ AND SHARE!!! It’s so important we understand the TRUTH about what’s happening in Israel and Gaza and not allow mainstream media to influence your opinions, thoughts, or ideas about what is going on over here!**( VIDEO - The security cameras from the Gaza aid distribution site #1 at the time of the alleged fatal shooting. No shooting and no injuries. )💩FAKE MASSACRE REPORTING makes headline news worldwide:CNN (and on the BBC, etc) - “At least 31 Palestinians killed after Israeli forces open fire near Gaza aid distribution center, health workers say.”“At least 31 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured amid chaotic scenes at an aid distribution site run by a US-backed private foundation in southern Gaza on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.The HAMAS health ministry blamed the Israeli military for the deaths. Some witnesses claimed that security personnel at the distribution hub had also opened fire. The HAMAS health ministry said that more than 200 casualties had reached hospitals, including dozens with serious injuries. It added that all those killed had been shot in the head or chest.”REALITY - See attached video: “The security cameras from the distribution site number 1 at the time of the alleged fatal shooting. No shooting and no injuries.”.. IDF SOLDIERS ON SITE - (1) Soldiers in the vicinity of the aid centers: Not only was there no shooting, we were prohibited from shooting at armed men in the area of the Salah ad-Din Highway due to the presence of thousands of Gazans in their vicinity. There was an attempt to loot an aid truck that was stuck.(2) Soldiers in the area report that no one was injured in the incident, according to them it was smoke grenades from the American security guards.(3) Testimony of an IDF officer who was right there, "There was no IDF fire in the area in question. We are being especially careful, and are relatively distant. What it appears to be: an incident initiated by Hamas militants that led to a confrontation with other militants. Or an incident between militant groups that are multiplying with the disintegration of Hamas rule.”.. IDF SPOKESPERSON - The IDF is currently unaware of injuries caused by IDF fire within the Humanitarian Aid distribution site. The matter is still under review... GAZA RELIEF FUND (distribution operator) (GHF) - There was no shooting at the food distribution center - nor in its immediate vicinity... THE GAZA RELIEF FUND SAYS - "The more successful the GHF effort is, the greater the distress Hamas will find itself in, and accordingly we will see more and more fake publications of 'massacre' events.".. FORMER PM BENNETT - "Since this morning, the world media, CNN, BBC and everyone else have been describing in their headlines that Israeli tanks opened fire on Gazans at food distribution centers and 26 people were killed. This is an event that did not happen. Israeli information management does not exist.".. So far, no official representative from the IDF/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Prime Minister's Office/Ministry of Defense has seen fit to appear in front of the cameras to deny/explain/or refute the claims to the extent that they are a complete "fake”d by Hamas. ...
