September 2026 Newsletter

• By Sandy Shoshani

Since 2008, Be’ad Chaim has published beautiful 16-month calendars featuring the precious babies born through this ministry. In this newsletter, we invite you to look back at a sampling of the babies helped in previous years, and to meet the sixteen new stars of the 2026–2027 calendar.

Over the years, several mothers who received support chose to join our staff, ultimately finding faith in the Messiah and discovering a profound new hope for their futures. Through the Operation Moses Project, we provide mothers with all the essential needs for a newborn—including a bed, stroller, bathtub, bedsheets, and monthly gift cards for baby supplies throughout their first year. By God’s grace, we have now helped over six thousand babies!

Every one of these little ones is a stunning testament to God’s handiwork, intricately formed by His loving hands and created for His glory (Isaiah 43:7). As you look at these beautiful, smiling faces featured in our new calendar, may you see a reflection of God’s glory in each one.

With deep gratitude,

Sandy

September 2026 - Areen

Areen’s mother and her husband wanted nothing more than to welcome their baby, but when he unexpectedly lost his job, their income completely vanished.

Eitan’s mom, a 39-year-old single mother, walked into a clinic intending to have an abortion.

A compassionate nurse told her about Be’ad Chaim, and she reached out for help. She named her son Eitan, meaning “strong and steady,” to honor the strength she found to stand firm for his life.
