On October 7, the fiftieth year anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Islamic terrorist groups launched a surprise attack against Israel, firing thousands of rockets into the heart of major population centers, as well as many commandos infiltrating into Israel from Gaza, murdering over a thousand citizens and injuring over three thousand. While the people of Israel are strong and resilient, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared, “We are at war, and we will win.” Hundreds of thousands have been activated to defend and protect Israel.
Eagles’ Wings is raising $250,000 in this “I Stand with Israel” emergency campaign, working with trusted partners to support Israel in these strategic ways:
Our founder, Bishop Robert Stearns, just days after leading our largest group to Israel ever, now caught in the midst of a war in Jerusalem. Here he shares what he has seen and experienced while being in Israel during this horrific time and expresses the dire need for our support in this moment.
Our Abraham’s Bread Feeding Centers have become gathering and distribution centers for humanitarian aid to suffering communities throughout Israel. This is in addition to serving hundreds of Israelis from all different backgrounds who are in need, including young families, new immigrants from Ukraine, and elderly Holocaust survivors.
Eagles’ Wings is working with United Hatzalah, a community-based volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization that is providing emergency services and medical supplies to all the victims of this horrific attack and to those who continue to need help throughout Israel.
As hundreds of thousands of Israelis head to the frontlines, many communities are left in need of supplies to defend themselves. Communities like Sde Boaz in the hills above Bethlehem, which is bordered by hostile Arab villages. We are working with trusted friends in that community to provide practical equipment like flashlights, radios, and other security items so they can protect their community from further attack.
Your urgent “I STAND WITH ISRAEL” gift RIGHT NOW will be a practical way to show your support and stand with the people of Israel. Every gift will be a message of hope and care, not only helping to provide needed food, medical supplies, and protective equipment and responding to other emergency needs but also expressing God’s love in a tangible way to His people.
