On October 7, 2023, terrorists invaded an Israeli kibbutz on the border with Gaza, murdering neighbors, taking hostages, and shattering a close-knit community. In this emotional story, Adele describes hiding her grandchildren in a safe room, surviving the attack, and then facing the painful question: Would you ever come back to live here again? Now, over a year later, the CBN Israel team returns to see how families are rebuilding their homes, their lives, and their hope.
As children laugh, meals are shared, and renovations begin, this kibbutz—which Adele calls “95% heaven”—stands as a living testimony of courage and faith. With support from CBN Israel donors around the world, the community’s dining hall and store have been rebuilt, and more than 80% of residents have come home. Be inspired as you see how God is using believers to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and help the desert bloom again.
