{image_1}Ayelet Katz, a 19-year-old soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, had to leave the army because of kidney failure. Ayelet is a twin, who, at two, contracted an infection that damaged her kidney. Doctors told her parents that the day would come when her kidneys would fail. That day came, and Ayelet’s father began to search for kidney-donation organizations. He discovered that the average wait in Israel for a kidney is five years, so he began looking elsewhere. He finally found help from the Halachic Organ Donor Society (HODS) based in New York City.

{image_1}Bridges for Peace is not just working in Israel to build bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities! We are also building friendships and showing unconditional support and love to the Jewish people around the world. On a recent trip to Australia, we met with many Jewish leaders in locations all across the continent. On each occasion, we were blessed to see their open appreciation of Christian support and their willingness to extend a hand of friendship. In Perth, I had the opportunity to share my heart with 40 Jewish community leaders. This is just one example of a growing relationship between the evangelical world and the Jewish people. Each of our eight national offices work to develop Jewish–Christian relationships in their countries. Let me share a few examples.

{image_1}“Israel’s economy now has experienced five years of continuous growth, the longest period in the state’s history,” reports Israel news agency Arutz Sheva, and unemployment is down to 7.6% from 9.2% in 2005. Whereas the United States only experienced a 0.6% gross domestic product (GDP) increase in the first half of 2007, Israel’s was 6.6%, jumping beyond the predictions of even the Bank of Israel and Finance Ministry. And, ISRAEL21c reported that the “Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) seems unstoppable,” and that the “market has appreciated 20% in the first half of this year.”

One year after the Second Lebanon War, the debate still rages in Israel as to whether or not Israel even won the war. Citizens are upset by what they perceive as ineffectual political and military leadership and coordination and are left feeling vulnerable on the home front to similar attacks in the future. The Winograd Commission’s reports have confirmed that there were mistakes made and that persons all the way up to the prime minister share in the blame.

{image_1}Militant Islamists rejoiced when Hizbullah declared victory over Israel in the Second Lebanon War. They are preparing a bigger celebration if and when US President George W. Bush and his policies go down in Iraq. Few can see that it is all part of the same war, and it is unlikely to go away any time soon.

{image_1}The possibility of war remains a great concern for Israeli political and military leaders as well as residents of the Golan Heights. Evidence of increased tensions in the North have been felt near the Mt. Avital Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base just opposite the cease-fire line with Syria. Israeli jet fighters and Apache helicopters have been heard overhead patrolling the skies. An IDF combat engineer unit has been preparing for maneuvers for months. However, very few tanks or other heavy military equipment have been seen.

{image_1}A wadi (stream), polluted by solid waste, runs between two municipalities (East Baka in the West Bank and West Baka in Israel) 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Tulkarem and separated by the Green Line and the security barrier. The polluted wadi has actually brought the two sides together. Both mayors have signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing to protect and beautify the wadi, hoping it will eventually become a recreational area.
