In 2 Kings 6-7, we read that the army of Syria besieged Samaria (Israel), resulting in a terrible famine. The famine was so severe that mothers were eating their children. Yet the prophet Elisha promised that the famine would end the very next day. An officer of the king responded: Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be? This man doubted the power of God and that God can provide in very unexpected, creative ways. Through the courage of four poor, rejected lepers who dared to enter the enemy camp, God did open the windows of heaven, and food became plentiful the next day! Twenty years ago when we began Operation Moses Project, we were able to help 14 new mothers. The next year we helped 40 mothers, and the numbers kept growing every year. This year, we saved over 500 babies from abortion. The Operation Moses Project has served over 6,000 babies! You have had a major part in saving these children from abortion through your generous gifts to Be’ad Chaim. “Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the windows of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. (Malachi 3) Through His faithfulness, and your generosity, God has opened the windows of heaven.

With deep gratefulness,

BEYOND THE BARE NECESSITIES: BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL BAGS!

With the partnership of other nonprofits, we are able to offer our mothers help beyond necessary baby items. Oftentimes, we connect them with soup kitchens to receive food parcels. For the past several years, other gracious nonprofits have supplied wonderful school backpacks for the older children of our mothers. This year, we have been able to distribute over five hundred bags for the families whom we serve. It is a joy to partner with others to show the Love of God to children from families who otherwise couldn’t afford such lovely bags filled with school supplies.

2024 STATISTICS

At our Annual General Meeting, we shared the miracles that God has done this year:

• Nearly 3,000 women contacted us for some kind of help. Women found us on Google, through friends and through social workers. One third simply wanted information; another third sought help in a crisis pregnancy and were connected to their local counsellor; and another third spoke to the hotline counsellor but chose not to connect with a local counsellor.
• More than half of those who contacted us while in a crisis pregnancy were looking for an abortion. Sixteen percent were considering an abortion and another 16% were inclined to keep their baby but sought support.
• The mothers live all throughout the country and meet with one of our fourteen counsellors nearest to their home. This year, we added an Arabic speaking counsellor to our team who has already served nearly one hundred women. We also recently added an Ethiopian Amharic speaker in the Tel Aviv area who can bless our work with the many Ethiopian refugees. We thank God for the diversity of mothers whom we serve. Our godly, devoted team of counsellors speak Hebrew, English, Russian, Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, German, Dutch and above all the language of LOVE.

SHIRAZ & BABY GIRL CELINE

I am reminded of twenty-three year old mother Shiraz who gave birth to her firstborn daughter Celine last February.

While hospitalized, she heard a pastor praying for an older woman in the next bed, and then she asked if he would pray for her also. She and her young husband needed help. He had gone AWOL from the army because she suffers from epilepsy. He comes from a very difficult background where he was brought up by various relatives but not by his parents. His mother is Muslim but suffered at home, ran away, and later met and married her husband, a Christian. No one from either family helps them in any way. To add to their difficulties, both are illiterate. The pastor’s daughter is our Arabic speaking counselor, Kareen. Kareen took Shiraz under her wing and promised to help her walk through her pregnancy, to get practical help and to find peace in her heart. They also helped her husband get things sorted out with the army, so that he can continue serving and getting wages. Shiraz and her husband felt supported and accepted. Baby Celine was welcomed into a home of love and parents who have begun to seek God.

CAUSES OF SEEKING AN ABORTION

The reasons that a woman may pursue an abortion are varied but always come with an element of fear. Primary reasons include financial difficulties, “bad timing,” being unwed, a poor relationship with her partner and feeling as though she has no support. Sometimes a woman feels that she is too young and unprepared to be a mother, feels pressured by her partner to abort, or she simply doesn’t want more children. Sometimes ultraorthodox women who know that abortion is wrong contact us because they can’t bear the thought of caring, feeding, and raising another child. Our hearts are with mothers who struggle, and our sympathetic counsellors encourage and emotionally support women in crisis.

LILLY & BABY GIRL PE’ER MIRIAM

Lilly, only twenty-seven years old, was in a very difficult situation. She had a three-year-old daughter and a boyfriend who was in and out of prison.

She contacted us at the start of her pregnancy when she was looking for an abortion. She had broken up many times with her boyfriend and this time she was determined to end their relationship. Courageously, she moved back home to her mother’s house, and after talking things over with our tender-hearted counselor, she realized that she should keep her pregnancy no matter what. She was assured that she would get practical assistance and support from us.

It isn’t easy to be a single mother to two children, but she is managing. Thirty-six percent of our mothers are single and must learn to rise to the challenge of caring for a newborn on their own and trying to make ends meet on a small, single income, often from unemployment benefits. Lilly gave birth six months ago to her baby girl Pe’er Miriam. She is named Miriam after her grandmother, and Pe’er means beauty. Just before her due date, she received a baby bed complete with sheets and bumpers, a stroller and a bath. She was so excited to get all this. Now she receives a gift card each month to cover the costs of diapers, formula, pacifiers and other baby products. It makes an enormous difference to her to know that she will not have this worry on her shoulders. Lilly is not just a number to us—not simply one of five hundred whom we helped this year—she is special, brave and deserves to be a mother like any other woman. We are grateful to God that we could enable Lilly to hold her little Pe’er in her arms. The Lord gave her BEAUTY (Pe’er) for her ashes! (Isaiah 61:2)

NUBIA & BABY BOY SIRAK

It’s tough being a refugee in a country where you don’t have a work permit, your children speak the language of the country better than you do, and the culture is totally different. Like forty-two percent of the mothers whom we serve, Nubia is married. She is a refugee from Eritrea and had been pregnant ten times, having had four abortions, one miscarriage, and five births. She is a kind and gentle woman who struggles to get by through housecleaning. She gave birth at the end of July to her baby boy Sirak. In early August, she attended our monthly mothers’ meeting less than three weeks after the birth, tenderly holding and nursing her lovely bundle of joy, baby boy Sirak. We were blessed to meet Sirak, to see the love in Nubia’s eyes, and to be able to give her school bags for some of her other children.

SHERRY & BABY BOY ELARI

Sherry, twenty-nine years old, had undergone several abortions and saw abortion as a reasonable solution to an unwanted pregnancy. When Sherry was twenty, she became pregnant and had an abortion by D&C. At age twenty-two, she became pregnant again and went through the same procedure, but this time she became infected and had to go through another surgery to remove tissue which remained in her womb. This procedure caused damage to her uterus, and she was informed that if she got pregnant again, she would need to be monitored carefully. Despite this, she had another abortion at age twenty-four, this time with pills.

Sherry’s boyfriend is presently on reserve duty, but usually they live together. He is divorced with two children who live with his ex-wife. When Sherry found that she was in an unplanned pregnancy, out of habit she considered having an abortion. But first she phoned our hotline to discuss this.

Our counselor helped Sherry realize that this pregnancy was a miracle, not something to be taken for granted. She warned her that she might be throwing away her only chance of motherhood if she had another abortion. Thankfully, Sherry listened. Through the love, encouragement and support she received, Sherry was able to choose life for her baby. In May, Sherry gave birth to her son, El-Ari (God is a lion). We’ve given practical support for El-Ari through our Operation Moses Project including baby furniture and monthly gift cards. Beyond this practical support, our counselor enabled Sherry to break the cycle of abortion and choose life. Sherry was able to step out in courage to become a mother to her son.
