So many emotions welled up inside of us when PTL visited one of the centers for Messianic Jews moving from Ethiopia to Israel.
Today about 1300 Jews live at the center. After learning Hebrew and being trained in a practical vocation, they are then gradually introduced into this super-modern society. It is a miracle that a country as small as Israel has been able to take in 1.5 million returning Jews in the past twenty years.
During PTL's entire visit, children, family and staff come up to Tommy and Carina and tell them how thankful they are. They also got to meet an elder in the tribe, a chief with a large white beard, who slowly stood up, lifted his hand, and thanked the God of Israel that we, way up in Scandinavia, love the Jews so much that we help them home to Israel. He ended by saying, “Thank you for also trying to help those who are still back home, waiting to come.”
There is no doubt that Israel, in a remarkable way, is able to take care of all of the Jews that PTL is helping home.
Tommy and Carina were also able to visit a number of other places and held a large revival meeting in southern Israel with Jews from many countries who have found Jesus in Israel.
PTL’s projects in Israel have a broad base, and include helping Jews home and humanitarian work, as well as having an active part in the revival going on in Israel.
