Timely Words Carry Great Power

We continue to be amazed at the doors God is opening for the women on the Galilee team to reach women of all ages across the Holy Land. In places where faith can feel fragile, relationships strained, and opportunities limited, they are finding new ways to bring light, healing, and hope into people’s lives. Rose, who serves in the church at Tur’an and leads a local radio ministry, and Randa, who serves in Rameh, recently shared stories of how God has been working through them. Their stories remind us that when people show up and stay open to what God is doing, lives are changed.

From Rose - Life-Giving Relationships and Radio

“During the funeral of one of my husband’s relatives, a woman came and sat beside me. I immediately recognized her as one of my former students who used to attend youth meetings in our home some twenty years ago.

As we talked I asked her about her relationship with her husband. This question touched her deeply. She began to weep as she shared with me the broken state of her marriage, and their relationship had dried up. Financial pressures had led him into anger and harshness, which strained the bond between them.

She admitted that she was struggling and was fighting through prayer and perseverance in order to keep her family together. I offered her counsel on practical steps to gradually restore her relationship with her husband. I continued to walk with her in prayer and guidance over the following period.

By God’s grace, today she has returned to a normal and restored relationship with her husband. We thank the Lord for His healing work in their marriage.”

“One sister from Fassouta had been going through a difficult season. On one particular day, as she was struggling under very hard circumstances, she tuned in to my program again and listened to several episodes. Later, she wrote to me, sharing how deeply she had been blessed and how the teachings met her in her need. She wrote:

“Sister in Christ, I listened to all the episodes yesterday. They were a great blessing and helped me so much. I felt that each one answered a question I had. May the Lord bless you and your ministry.”

We thank God for His work through the program and for how He continues to use the messages to encourage believers in their daily struggles.”

From Randa - Vessels of His Grace

“During our recent family conference at the Nes Ammim Kibbutz, the Lord gave us a powerful and unexpected opportunity to minister.

Before one of the sessions, while we were gathered in prayer, a young Jewish woman who was working as a cleaner in the facility noticed us. She approached me and asked if she could speak with me. I stepped outside with her, and she began to ask about our prayer. She told me, “I felt something while you were praying, and I want to understand.”

As I shared with her about our faith, she suddenly began to weep. Through her tears, she said, “The Lord sent you here for me. From a young age, my family and I believed, but over the years we drifted away. Since then, I haven’t known how to return to the Lord. But when I heard your prayers, I felt something stir inside me—like a voice calling me to come back to Him.”

Glory to God! I drew her close, embraced her, and she wept deeply. We prayed together and then spent a long time speaking about the love of Christ. She thanked the Lord for bringing us to that place and said it was through us that He called her back to Himself.

We give all glory to the Lord for allowing us to be vessels of His grace and for restoring this young woman to Him.”
