Last week, The Fellowship hosted a delegation of 31 young leaders from the Hispanic Evangelical community in the U.S. The participants were selected by their churches in collaboration with the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance for a leadership initiative aimed at building bridges between their churches and the Holy Land while strengthening connections with one another through their shared mission.
During their visit, the delegation toured historical and holy sites, participated in seminars hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and learned about programs and projects supported by The Fellowship. They also met with our President and Global CEO, Yael Eckstein, at the offices of Qualita, The Fellowship’s partner in supporting olim (immigrants) from France. While there, they had the opportunity to meet several of the immigrants supported that The Fellowship has helped. In an unexpected encounter, the delegation also met Yael’s daughter while touring IDF bases.
Yael recalls, “I had the most amazing connection with them. We spoke for hours in Jerusalem. And then, the next day, I get this picture and video from my daughter on her army base. In turns out that this group of young Christian leaders from America went to her army base on the border of Gaza to meet with the soldiers, and they put the connection together. God works in mysterious ways.”
