Reaching Out in Tel Aviv
Avi Mizrachi | December 7, 2011 |

 

In addition to the coffee shop and Bible store ministry that occurs at Dugit, as well as Dugit Live, we also seek to carry out outreach projects within Tel Aviv.  Through these projects we desire to demonstrate the love of Yeshua to the people of Tel Aviv in both physical and spiritual ways.
A group of adults and young adults from Lakeside Baptist Church in Texas came to Israel to serve and minister to the Jewish people.  Prior to their arrival in the Land they had collected hundreds of stuffed animals for Israeli children.  They donated part of what they collected to Agape Distribution Center and the rest were to hand out. Together with Dan, our evangelist, the group went to the Children’s Hospital in Tel Aviv to give the children there new toys and bring a smile to their faces.  Many of the children received their stuffed animals with excitement and elation.  Several mothers who were present expressed their appreciation at this gesture of kindness and generosity.  What a blessing to bring joy and encouragement to the sick!
In addition to the children’s hospital outreach, Dan also organized a project to reach out to the homeless in Tel Aviv.  Joined by members of the same church, Dugit ministered to the homeless in a local Tel Aviv park by passing out bags filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors and washcloths.  After handing out the toiletry bags, the group helped clean the park, removing much trash from the grounds.  While cleaning and handing out the bags, they were able to share the gospel with people in the park. 
At the end of October, Agape Distribution Centre* received one hundred and seventy boxes of clothes from the MJAA: Jospeh Project. Praise the Lord! From these clothes we were able to bless a Sudanese school with bags of clothes along with the Israeli families that we usually support.

Please pray that the seeds, which were planted through these projects, would be watered and grown by God!  Pray for our ministry at Dugit as we continue to faithfully serve God and reach out to Tel Aviv-Yafo with the good news of Yeshua!!
