This report came recently from some Israeli believers in Yeshua that Israel Benevolence Fund helps support.
“We are blessed to be able to minister to the 23 single parent families in the Beer Sheva Congregations. Some of the women are widowed, some divorced, and some were abandoned. We long to see God manifested in their lives as “a Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows”. We believe that one characteristic of the Body of Messiah, to a large extent, should be that manifestation of the Father’s love in the life of single parent families. We can’t do this work without your help!
We also run a support group for single mothers with a Russian-speaking background. This is going very well as it presents the women with an opportunity to grow in their trust of the Lord and become a supportive presence in each other’s lives. It also validates their life and spiritual experience, helping to restore dignity to their lives. Single mothers and widows are also offered an opportunity for prayer counseling designed to bring deeper emotional healing, as well as receiving regular house visitations where prayer support and friendly council are given.”
