Over 200,000 Israelis were displaced on October 8th. Today, families are finally coming home.
Kibbutz Manara sits just hundreds of feet from the Lebanese border — and when war broke out on October 7th, it became one of the most devastated communities in northern Israel. Over 75% of homes were damaged. Over 60% were completely destroyed. For more than a year, this community sat empty.
But this is not the end of their story.
Through the generosity of Christians from around the world partnering with local believers, over 25 new homes have been built, making Manara one of the first communities in northern Israel to welcome families back. What was once a ghost town is coming alive again.
We stand inside that miracle, hearing directly from the families returning home and from the 100+ believers from 10 local ministries across Israel who came to serve, clean, garden, and turn these houses into homes.
This is what the love of Yeshua looks like in action.
