Comforting the People of Israel -- Bomb Shelters Save Lives!

This is the damage that is done when rockets attack. Shelters are needed for the residents to run to for safety.

This article was written by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). Song For Israel collects donations to build bomb shelters and we partner with ICEJ and Operation Lifeshield to get the shelters placed. Five of the six shelters we have donated were placed near the Gaza border. For those of you who have partnered with us with our bomb shelter project, THIS article is for you! Thank you so much!

Song For Israel

I just visited the Israeli communities near the Gaza border to offer support and see how they are doing since the recent Gaza conflict ended.

Arriving at the Sadot Negev Resilience Center, I was greeted by the center’s manager Esther Marcus, who expressed an emotional thanks from a heart overflowing with gratitude to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem for our ongoing support.

Esther cannot recall how many times during this latest Gaza conflict the red alert siren sounded at all hours day and night, signaling a constant barrage of missiles headed their way.

“You are saving lives and thank you for saving my life!” said Esther, as she recalled having to run to the center’s safe room built last year by the ICEJ. “People ask me all the time; do you get used to it? – I say, you never get used to someone trying to kill you, but you do learn to cope, and you build your resilience,” said Esther.
