From the Ends of the Earth

From the Ends of the Earth

Ezra International, a Christian ministry helping the Jewish people return to Israel, is part of God's hand at work today as He keeps His unfailing promise to them: "I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth" (Isaiah 43:6).

Working in Europe, Central Asia, South America, and the Middle East, Ezra International assists Jewish people as they return to the biblical land of their forefathers. We help them document their Jewish heritage, cover the costs of international passports and visas, arrange for transportation to the closest airport for their flight to Israel, and provide special assistance as needed. God's restoration of the Jewish people to Israel proves His faithfulness to all who call upon His Name.

Partner with us as He expresses His unchanging love to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: "The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,' says the LORD" (Jeremiah 30:3).

At Home In The Promised Land

Posted : 2012-02-07

Ezra International’s team in Russia helped Reuven return home at last—to Israel, the land God promised to his forefathers centuries ago.  As a Jewish young man, Reuven believes that Israel is where he belongs, his place as the Almighty swore long ago to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Moving to Israel is, for Reuven, the fulfilment of a dream he has held all his life.  He has spent the last few years studying Hebrew and learning more about the traditions of Judaism.  Reuven is observant to Jewish teachings, regularly attending synagogue and keeping kosher, feeling a deeper connection to God as he practices the faith of his forefathers.

Sadly, Reuven has experienced anti-Semitism in Russia—another reason he has decided to make his home in Israel.  Because of his Jewish heritage, Reuven has been refused work, endured insults, and was even physically attacked—all because he is Jewish.

Ezra International’s supporters provided funding to cover the cost of Reuven’s trip to the Israeli consulate in Moscow.  At his interview there, Reuven received his long-awaited visa for the Promised Land, and a few weeks ago our team in Russia made their goodbyes with Reuven as he departed for Israel.  We praise the God of Israel for His goodness and His unchanging faithfulness to His sons and daughters!
