Project Nehemiah

As the Jewish people returned from exile in Persia, Nehemiah encouraged the people to arise, build and resettle the land God gave them. After the Second Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70, the Jews were once again scattered throughout the world, but in their heart was a deep longing to return to the land of their fathers.

Today, Jewish people are returning to their promised homeland in Israel. The Prophet Isaiah foretold of this event in Isaiah 43:5-6, “Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;” This modern day miracle in Bible Prophecy provides every bible-believing Christian the unique opportunity to become involved in blessing the nation of Israel.

In Israel, Project Nehemiah helps build relationships between Christians and Jews as the middle wall of partition has been broken down (Ephesians 2:14). Love requires more than words, it requires action. Project Nehemiah is a practical way for all of us to show the love of God to the apple of His eye, Israel (Zechariah 2:8).

Because high inflation has burdened Israel’s limited budget, many basic needs go unattended. Therefore, the needs are great for needy Israelis and especially for many new immigrants from the former Soviet Union, South America, Ethiopia, etc.

In order to meet the needs of these precious Jewish families, Project Nehemiah provides several gifts such as food baskets, blankets and candy cheer baskets. These gifts are sent out from our distribution center and are delivered personally to families in several cities throughout Israel by the Project Nehemiah staff and volunteers.

Shalom from Project Nehemiah!

 I was able to work with Project Nehemiah for a couple of months in 2019. Those months will always be recounted as an unforgettable experience to live alongside of and work with God’s chosen people. While I have been on tours of the country of Israel, being able to volunteer to help with Project Nehemiah’s work gave me an insight into the country that was invaluable. I am extremely glad the Lord gave me such an opportunity and will always encourage others who are interested to pray about being able to volunteer with Project Nehemiah, as well.

 In 2018, the Lord blessed me with the opportunity to serve with Project Nehemiah in Israel. It was easy to volunteer there, because everything was very well organized, and the instructions for packing humanitarian aid packages were well explained. It was a blessing to know that I could participate in something that would meet the physical needs of the Jewish people. The days would begin with devotions with the team at PN, and it was always an encouragement. I enjoyed the days of packing supplies, but the best day was when we took the supplies to the people in Be’er-Sheva. Taking food baskets and blankets, we distributed them to the people at the community center where they had gathered. They were very grateful! There were many Russian Jews among the crowd. There was a good time of fellowship, and a happy atmosphere. If you want to donate to a good cause, to find a way to serve the Jewish people, or to participate in a short-term ministry opportunity, I would highly recommend Project Nehemiah.

 Have you ever wanted to visit Israel? May I suggest instead of signing up for just a tour, that you would strongly consider serving as a volunteer for Project Nehemiah. You will not be disappointed as you will have the opportunity to see Israel as it truly is.

Opportunities include helping assess inventory, packing bags and boxes with food items that will be distributed and best of all aid in the distribution in areas of Israel that tours do not go. As a result of my helping out, I have built a closer relationship with the Lord as well as seeing for myself the needs of the people being served. I have also gained a better knowledge of the responsibilities of the ministry of Project Nehemiah as they serve the people. I definitely know how to better pray when I read the regular updates sent out by the Project Nehemiah staff. You will truly be blessed and have no regrets.
