You are a big part of a 21st Century miracle.
The miracle is Bible Prophecy in the process of being fulfilled daily.
As you join Bridges for Peace to rescue Jewish people from persecution of anti-Semitic governments in the “North”, you are blessing Israel and the Jewish people by bringing fruition the words Jesus said:
“Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.”Matthew 5:16
These were the words of Jesus that gave clear direction to our founder over 50 years ago. We are still letting our light shine to this day through you. And how do we “shine our light” in a dark world? The question was soon answered in the writing of the prophet Isaiah. Speaking to Jews scattered around the world it is written:
“Thus says the Lord, “I will give you as a light to the Gentiles that you
shall be my salvation to the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:6)
“Gentile Kings shall bring your sons and daughters in their arms.
They shall be your foster fathers and their queens your nursing mothers.” (Isaiah 49:22,23)
You, Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish people, are making it a reality to bring Jews to their homeland. Ex: One of our Bible Study groups has sponsored over 322 Jews from the Ukraine alone, to immigrate to Israel. (To immigrate entails more than a plane ticket. Bridges for Peace sponsors the arriving families for one year, more if needed. This includes housing, food, learning the language, school for the children, medical, dental, glasses, bus passes, and help with finding employment.)
Your generosity, prayers, and friendships are miracles
these newcomers are receiving from your hand.
This is a new year with unlimited opportunity.
Did you know that BRIDGES FOR PEACE has a 24/7 USA network of 946 chapters. Please contact me if you have questions or requests.
And rejoice…
In your arms Jews from the nations are coming home.

I have seen families arriving at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv as they complete the last leg of “making Aliyah” (immigrating). It is an emotional time of celebration. They are at the starting point of a new life.
BRIDGES FOR PEACE again received a good report from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) audit.
