Christian Embassy Brings Relief to Afflicted Israelis
From Ynetnews:
Christian Embassy funding emergency projects to help children, elderly, soldiers under fire In recent weeks, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem has responded to the growing humanitarian needs of embattled communities in northern Israel by launching a number of aid projects aimed at bringing relief, particularly to children confined to bomb shelters.
In one of the latest examples, on Tuesday the ICEJ sponsored a day excursion for three bus loads of children from the hard hit areas of Kiryat Shmona, Karmiel and Nahariya to visit the Shefayim recreational water park near Herzliya. The children also received some of our 500 ‘activity kits’ for children in bomb shelters assembled in cooperation with the King of Kings congregation in Jerusalem. The friendly mascot ‘A.J. the Lion’ was on hand to greet the children and hand out gift packets. One youngster was so
thrilled to be having fun outdoors in the water park that he called his parents to tell them how great it was. When the father found out who had sponsored the trip, he was quoted as saying, ‘For weeks we wanted the city, the government, Jewish organizations, anyone to just get us out of this hell, and who comes to help but the Christians! I cant believe it.’ “
