The Eagle has Landed!

Prayer and money.  The two most important things a ministry, especially a ministry in Israel, needs. But when we started Tikvah Rabah, we all had a desire to do something tangible to bless the Holocaust Survivors.  The L-rd led us to Brian Slater of Yeshua's Fresh Bread - a soup kitchen and food distribution center in beautiful Netanya, Israel.  Yeshua's Fresh Bread not only works with about 400 Holocaust Survivors, they also assist immigrants who are struggling to acclimate to a land and culture foreign to them.  

For months, the dedicated crafters in our congregation Rehoboth Messianic Congregation, as well as the crafters from Minihaha Grange and Crossroads Community Church (all located in Beautiful Vancouver, Washington) have been knitting, crocheting, and sewing hats and scarves for the Holocaust Survivors.  

Our first shipment of scarves and hats (30 each) were taken to Israel by a group of people from Tennessee - they go to Israel every year to work alongside the Messianic Body in Israel.  we appreciate their sacrifice of luggage space;  after all, space in a suitcase is always at a premium when traveling internationally.  

We hope you enjoy seeing these pictures of the first Survivors to receive these gifts from our hearts and hands.

On Any Given Sunday...The Common Thread

Tikvah Rabah began quilting for Holocaust survivors just about 3 years ago. In looking back, there have been a few bumps in the road and we've learned a lot: a lot about sewing, quilting, fabric, best practices for efficiency, consistency and TEAMWORK! On any given Sunday we meet we have about 20 or so people with a variety of skill sets. Some have been lifelong seamstresses and quilters while others are just beginning their journey into sewing. On any given Sunday we meet we have 3 generations of people. Women, men and teens. Some have been coming since the beginning while others are new to the fold. The common thread between these people is an intense, unyielding passion and love for these precious people we serve and The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And then, there's Yeshua. We desire to serve Him with our hands. The Ruach is ever present washing over these quilts with LOVE and He breathes life in us as we serve! Here's a few of the quilts we'
