Healing Hearts After Horror
For former hostages and their families, the nightmare began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists crossed the border into Israel and abducted dozens of innocent civilians. In the days and weeks that followed, their lives were consumed by fear, anguish, and desperate hope.
Some families received the heartbreaking news that their loved ones had been killed and their remains discovered in Gaza. Others experienced the emotional return of relatives through hostage releases, but even in those moments of joy, the pain and trauma remained.
Today, many of these families continue to face an uphill battle toward emotional recovery. But thanks to friends like you, they are beginning to find comfort, support, and a path forward. Through the generous giving of valued donors, CBN Israel and our trusted local partners are providing therapeutic retreats for former hostages and their loved ones, giving them space to breathe, reflect, and begin healing.
In the quiet beauty of Eilat, surrounded by desert mountains and the Red Sea, these families are welcomed into a safe and nurturing environment. With the help of professional therapists, trauma counselors, and social workers, each retreat offers guidance and care for 25 to 30 participants at a time. Away from the pressure of daily life, they are able to process their experiences and connect with others who understand their pain.
Along with emotional support, these retreats also provide practical assistance, including legal guidance, financial advice, and career support. These vital resources help families navigate the challenges they now face, while working to prevent a widespread mental health crisis across the country.
Because of the compassion of caring friends like you, these survivors and their families are finding light in the darkness. One father, his voice filled with emotion, shared, “This retreat has been so meaningful. I am so grateful to those who helped make it possible.”
Your support of CBN Israel can bring hope, healing, and tangible help to many still recovering from the trauma of that tragic day. Thank you for standing with the people of Israel when they need it most.
Please join us today in bringing healing, help, and hope to those who need it most.
When Waters Speak of God
By Stephen Faircloth
The land of Israel is more than a backdrop for biblical events. Its rivers, hills, animals, and even its changing seasons fill the language of Scripture. The land itself shaped the metaphors, poetry, and images used by the prophets, psalmists, and storytellers of the Bible. To stand in certain places today is to hear, see, and feel the very scenes they described. The Dan Spring is one such place.
Located at the base of Mount Hermon, the Dan Spring is the largest of the three main sources that come together to form the Jordan River. Flowing with remarkable force, it produces an estimated 240 million cubic meters of water each year. In the winter and spring, as rains fall and snow melts from Mount Hermon, the sound of the rushing water becomes a deep, steady roar.
It is not difficult to understand why the psalmists drew spiritual imagery from this place. In Psalm 29, the writer describes the voice of the Lord over mighty waters, breaking cedars, and shaking the wilderness. References to Lebanon, Sirion, and Kadesh place this picture in the northern region surrounding the Dan Spring. To the psalmist, the roar of these waters reflected the power and majesty of God’s voice.
Psalm 42 offers another glimpse into the spiritual symbolism of these waters. Here, the psalmist compares his longing for God to a deer thirsting for fresh streams. Standing in the humid heat near the Dan Spring, he hears the thunder of its rushing flow and likens his feelings of being overwhelmed to waves and billows crashing over him. The geography is more than a backdrop. It is part of the message itself. The sound, the setting, and the experience all speak to the soul’s deep need for God.
Visiting the land of Israel is more than seeing historic sites. It is stepping into the physical world of the Bible and allowing the land to deepen our understanding of God’s Word. At the Dan Spring, creation itself declares the glory of God, reminding us that the geography of the Bible is one of its most vivid teachers.
If the psalmists could listen to rushing waters and hear the voice of God, what in your own surroundings can remind you of His power and presence? What everyday sights and sounds could you use as a prompt for worship?

Weekly Devotional: Speaking Life
“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence” (Proverbs 10:11).
Our words are powerful. They can build up or tear down, heal or wound, bring hope or cause despair. Proverbs tells us that the mouth of the righteous is like a fountain of life. That is more than a beautiful image. It is a spiritual standard for every follower of Christ.
Jesus explained why our words matter so much. They flow from the heart: “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34).
The psalmist understood this connection too, which is why he prayed, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14).
In biblical thought, the “heart” was not simply the seat of emotions but the center of reason, thought, and will. What fills our hearts shapes our thoughts, and what fills our thoughts shapes our words. If we meditate on God’s truth, our speech will reflect His love and righteousness. If we fill our minds with bitterness, pride, or fear, that will come out too.
In our world today, words are more public than ever. Social media has given nearly everyone a platform to speak instantly and globally. We can use that voice to encourage, inspire, and speak truth in love, or we can use it to vent, attack, and stir division. The choice is ours.
Some even justify harsh and unkind speech in the name of defending God or His truth. But Scripture calls us to a higher way. Our words should reveal that we belong to Christ. They should carry life to those who hear them.
So, what do your words reveal about your heart? Do they refresh, strengthen, and encourage? Or do they drain, discourage, and wound? Today, let us choose words that give life.
PRAYER
Father, fill my heart with Your truth and my mind with Your wisdom so that my words bring life to those around me. May my speech always honor You and encourage others. Amen.
Standing With Our Jewish Neighbors: A National Call to Confront Antisemitism
By Stephen Faircloth
In response to a troubling surge in antisemitism across the United States, The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), CBN Israel, and Regent University have partnered with JewBelong, a New York-based nonprofit known for bold public messaging, to launch a powerful nationwide awareness campaign. The initiative features visually arresting pink and white billboards delivering a simple but urgent message: standing against antisemitism is standing with America. More than a public display, this campaign is a call to action for Christians, students, alumni, and communities across the country to unite in solidarity with the Jewish people.
The campaign begins August 11 in Virginia, with three prominent billboards positioned along major thoroughfares near the CBN and Regent University campus in the Tidewater area. These messages are intended not just to inform, but to spark conversation, reflection, and ultimately, action. The billboards will remain in place through September 29. CBN will amplify the campaign’s reach through its influential television and digital platforms, engaging audiences nationwide.
Following the Tidewater launch, the campaign expands to four key Ivy League campuses: Harvard, Yale, Brown, and the University of Pennsylvania. These universities, long esteemed for their academic distinction, have increasingly become challenging environments for Jewish students. The Ivy League campaign aims to confront this reality with bold, unapologetic messaging. By bringing the conversation directly to these campuses, the effort seeks to break the silence that often follows antisemitic incidents and to encourage students, faculty, and administrators to stand as allies against hate.
At the same time, the campaign will engage students and alumni across Southeastern Conference universities through a coordinated strategy of billboard placements and digital outreach led by Regent University. This SEC-focused initiative invites campus communities throughout the South to take part in a growing national movement that refuses to look away from antisemitism and instead embraces shared responsibility and moral courage.
This campaign is driven by alarming data. The Anti-Defamation League’s 2024 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents ranks Virginia among the top ten states for such activity, with 266 incidents reported last year alone, representing a 19 percent increase from 2023. Nationally, antisemitic incidents have surged by 893 percent over the past decade. These are not isolated occurrences. They are part of a persistent and intensifying pattern that must be addressed with urgency and resolve.
College campuses, in particular, have become flashpoints for antisemitic rhetoric and behavior. Jewish students have reported harassment, exclusion, and threats, often met with silence or inaction from university leadership. That silence not only fails to protect, it emboldens those who propagate hate. This campaign seeks to challenge that silence and to empower campus communities to speak out in defense of their Jewish peers.
Gordon Robertson, President and CEO of CBN and Chancellor of Regent University, emphasized the moral and spiritual significance of this initiative. He said, “It is vital that Christians in Virginia and across the country stand in solidarity with the Jewish community. Antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue, it is a human issue and a spiritual one. We are called to stand against hatred, to defend our neighbors, and to reflect God’s love through our actions. This campaign is one important step in that direction.”
This effort builds upon JewBelong’s previous campaigns in major cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, and near academic institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. With this expansion and collaboration with faith-based and academic organizations, the campaign marks a growing movement determined to challenge antisemitism wherever it takes root.
The message is clear. In the face of rising antisemitism, especially on the campuses shaping the next generation, silence is no longer an option. Every billboard, broadcast, and digital message is a call to choose courage over complacency, to reject hate, and to stand unwaveringly with our Jewish neighbors. Christians and Americans alike are urged to raise their voices, because defending others is not only right, it is at the very heart of what it means to love our neighbor.
If you are a Christian who believes in standing with Israel and the Jewish people while confronting antisemitism, lies, and misinformation, we invite you to join CBN Israel in making a meaningful difference today.

Israel: Still a Light to the Nations with Tikkun Olam
By Arlene Bridges Samuels
“A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.” A quote often attributed to famous British preacher C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), its origin—as Spurgeon himself said—has actually been lost to time. Nevertheless, we as believers who stand with Israel have a choice: We must press on to share truth!
World news headlines detonate day after day with slanderous information and unfounded rumors about and against Israel. A cloud of despicable lies, accusations, actions, and ignorance continues to ignite the fires of Jew-hatred across the globe. It is past time for good news, and there is plenty of it. That’s because despite its seven-front war, Israel has not neglected one of its key foundations: “repairing the world,” or tikkun olam.
For centuries, the concept of “repairing the world” has repeatedly motivated the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Tikkun olam has no boundaries.
By educating ourselves through two excellent Israeli humanitarian organizations—IsraAID and MASHAV—we gain the facts and tools we need to share good news about Israel “repairing the world.” Although this catch phrase cannot actually be found word for word in Scripture, the concept flows throughout the Bible. The Hebrew verb TKN, which is used only four times in Scripture, is defined “to make straight, establish, arrange, or repair.” One example in Leviticus 19:9-10 calls for “leaving gleanings for the poor and the foreigner,” a way to share resources. Let’s look at the way this plays out in the two charitable groups just mentioned.
IsraAID, founded in 2001, is an international non-governmental humanitarian aid organization. Its teams have worked in emergency and long-term development settings in more than 60 countries globally. IsraAID also provides critical help inside the Jewish homeland. For example, they have been working with local municipalities in central Israel since June. These towns are hosting some 2,000 people whose homes were damaged or destroyed when Iran targeted Israeli civilians in missile attacks on residential buildings. IsraAID has been providing not only mental health support to those displaced, but help with education and logistics, as well.
In the company’s 2024 Annual Report, the list of IsraAID’s accomplishments globally is nothing short of astonishing, given that Israel is fighting a defensive war against the Islamic Regime and its terror surrogates. The report mentions IsraAID’s long-term humanitarian missions—which now face more emergencies, including Guatemala’s migration crisis, violence in Kenya, and refugees fleeing the Democratic Republic of the Congo into Uganda. When Cyclone Chido hit Mozambique last December, Israel’s emergency teams quickly responded with help.
This humanitarian organization also sent its rapid-response teams to Papua New Guinea after a devastating landslide in May. Already working in South Sudan, IsraAID noted that they frequently deal with a “crisis within a crisis.” One example highlights this reality. Over 500,000 people escaping Sudan’s next-door conflict were crammed into South Sudan’s refugee camps. The overcrowding set the stage for last December’s cholera outbreak. Here in the United States, IsraAID has often sent emergency teams to help communities devastated by fires, floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes.
Reading about Israel’s far-reaching commitment to tikkun olam shows us these facts dramatically reveal how outrageous are accusations that “Israel is an apartheid state.” Misinformed protesters grab the first headline they see despite the fact that Israel itself is a multi-colored country with Ethiopian, Asian, and Hispanic Jews. The apartheid designation is absurd. In addition, a look at the geographical locations of IsraAID’s humanitarian outreaches shows us that Israel treats all people in all crises with aid wherever possible. That includes Gaza.
IsraAID’s CEO, Yotam Polizer, quips: “We are FILO, First In and Last Out.” For Israel, wrongly defamed at every turn, IsraAID is a shining example of Israel’s commitment to helping others. IsraAID “repairs the world” regardless of religion or ethnicity. Its staff and volunteers view others simply as people in need.
MASHAV is another shining example of Israelis repairing the world. Its official name is “Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.” This organization was created in 1958 by two Israeli visionaries: Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir, his foreign minister and later a prime minister herself. Ben-Gurion and Meir applied tikkun olam—a dynamic Jewish cultural value—to share Israel’s expertise, particularly in technology, with other developing countries. After only 10 years as a modern independent nation, Israel was already reaching out in friendship with development aid to other countries. MASHAV’s mission: to help developing nations achieve sustainable development and transformation within their own societies. On X, MASHAV calls it #HumanCapacityBuilding to empower those living in poverty to improve their own lives.
Cooperative projects combine with other nations in strengths, experience, and expertise in 10 different priority sectors, among them food security and agriculture, education for all, medicine and public health, and innovation and entrepreneurship.
MASHAV’s statistics are astounding. With more than 50 training centers and demonstration projects worldwide, each year the organization sees 5,000 trainees take part in 160 training courses in Israel and abroad. In addition, it is involved in 100 short-term consultancy missions and has 35 ongoing partnerships with donor countries and international organizations. In fact, MASHAV’s practical and compassionate programs have made an impact in 140 out of 193 nations in our world—with over 300,000 graduates from their training programs.
Jews in their ancestral homeland number around 7.7 million in a population of 10 million. Israel makes IsraAID and MASHAV even more miraculous in blessing the family of nations. Shining into the darkness of nations in disaster or need, Israeli Jews are beacons of light, despite being beset with hatred and war themselves.
Tikkun olam is an observable, treasured Jewish value designed by God. He Himself in His sovereignty will “make straight, establish, arrange, or repair” our world for all who honor and believe His redemptive sacrifice for sins. Truth and tikkun olam will someday erase the cloud of lies. Let us be sure to do our part to repair the cloud of lies with truth and facts!
Our CBN Israel team welcomes you to join us this week to pray and to pass along facts about Israel reflecting on Matthew 5:16—“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Prayer Points:
- Pray with praises for Israel’s extraordinary tikkun olam worldwide!
- Pray for friends, family, and social media to read this article due to your sharing.
- Pray for pastors and churches drifting away from Israel support to read the facts.
- Pray for Evangelicals to proactively share facts about Israel to spread good news.

Holocaust Survivor: Natalia’s Story
When she was just 13, Natalia had to flee her home in Ukraine to escape the Nazis. As World War II raged, this young Jewish girl survived by working in a factory that supported the war effort. She eventually returned home.
In 2022, as Russian missiles rained down on Ukrainian cities and families were torn apart by violence, Natalia faced the unthinkable. After a lifetime spent recovering from the trauma of World War II, she was once again forced to relive its horrors as war returned to the very place where she had rebuilt her life.
She recalled, “A rocket hit our neighborhood in the middle of the night. The explosion killed over 30 people in my community.” Terrified, this elderly woman sought refuge in Israel, making Aliyah to become an Israeli citizen.
Yet as a frail senior who arrived with nothing, Natalia has had other battles to fight. At age 95, she must use a wheelchair to go outside. Because of her handicap, she had to find another apartment with an elevator. And in addition to needing help getting enough to eat, she also lacked basic furniture. Alone in a different country, where could she get help?
Thankfully, friends like you came to her rescue through CBN Israel. Caring donors are there delivering nutritious food, and she says these visits from our team mean as much as the aid itself. Donors also provided her with a special bed and essential furniture, to make her apartment feel like home.
Natalia exclaimed, “Thank you so much for your generous help. I have been overjoyed to receive the regular provisions of food and groceries, and I am so grateful for the furniture… Your kindness means more than you know!”
Your gifts to CBN Israel can be a blessing to Holocaust survivors like Natalia, and to refugees, single moms, terror victims, and others struggling to survive in the Holy Land.
And you can make a tremendous difference for those in need by providing hot meals, safe housing, necessities, and financial assistance.
Join us today in sharing God’s love and compassion with those who are hurting in Israel!
U.S. State Department Makes a Momentous Decision
By Arlene Bridges Samuels
After a recent U.S. State Department decision, much of the world has reacted with outrage, vehemently opposing what is in reality a prudent and long-overdue American policy. The cause of the uproar? The Department of State (DOS) has revoked visas for Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and 80 PA officials, preventing them from attending the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York City, scheduled for September 9 to 23.
The DOS statement affirmed: “It is in our national security interests to hold the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) and PA (Palestinian Authority) accountable for failing to honor their commitments and for undermining prospects for peace.” It further emphasized that only groups that “consistently repudiate terrorism, including the October 7 massacre, and end incitement to terrorism in education” can be regarded as credible partners for peace.
There is historical precedent for such a move. The United States has denied visas to foreign leaders before. In 1988, for instance, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat was denied entry, prompting the UN General Assembly to relocate its session to Switzerland.
So, what lies behind this September decision? Mahmoud Abbas, now 89, was elected Palestinian Authority president in 2009. Since then, he has refused to hold new elections or meet face to face with any Israeli prime minister for peace talks, a stalemate that has lasted 16 years. The pattern of destructive choices traces back eight decades to when the United Nations passed one of its most consequential resolutions: Resolution 181.
Although adopted in a secular context, Resolution 181 aligned with Israel’s biblical promises. On November 29, 1947, the UN voted to partition British-ruled Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab.
The Arab world immediately rejected the proposal, refusing to accept any arrangement that recognized a Jewish state. On May 14, 1948, as Israel declared independence, Arab nations launched a war against the fledgling and ill-equipped state. Against all odds, Israel prevailed.
The Jewish people, in contrast, accepted the imperfect yet promising partition plan. Through decades of labor and determination, they transformed deserts into fertile lands, pioneered life-saving innovations, and built a thriving nation. Today, at 77 years old, Israel stands as a free, prosperous, and innovative state.
Meanwhile, decades of Palestinian refusal have layered conflict upon conflict, an unbroken legacy of rejectionism.
This year, the United Nations’ General Assembly convenes under the theme: “Better Together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights.” The stated aim: “To address complex global challenges, build consensus, and forge partnerships for a more equitable and sustainable future.”
Yet the UN’s track record tells a different story. Its disproportionate criticism of Israel, coupled with endless slanderous resolutions, has undermined true progress. Instead of directing more energy toward the world’s worst human rights abusers, the UN has persistently targeted one of its most democratic and innovative member states.
UN Watch, a non-profit watchdog that holds the UN accountable to its founding principles, provides a sobering perspective. Reviewing the UN Human Rights Council’s record from 2006 through 2024, UN Watch notes that the body passed 108 resolutions against Israel, compared to 45 against Syria, 15 against Iran, 10 against Russia, and only 4 against Venezuela. The imbalance is staggering. Very simply, the UN does not hold dictatorships to the same standard it imposes on Israel.
The popularization of the term “Palestinians” can be traced largely to Yasser Arafat, the Egyptian-born founder of the PLO and the architect of modern terrorism. He mentored Mahmoud Abbas, embedding in him the same strategy of weaponizing victimhood.
Arafat promoted the identity of a “Palestinian people” beginning in the late 1960s, using it as a tool to delegitimize Israel. Western leaders, too often naïve, elevated him, and later Abbas, as supposed freedom fighters. But Arafat’s true goal was always the destruction of Israel. Today, Abbas and other Palestinian leaders continue policies that perpetuate refugee status, incite hatred, and even promote genocide.
The State Department’s decision becomes clearer when considering the PA’s destructive policies. The PLO and PA have consistently undermined peace while glorifying violence. Three examples illustrate this:
- “Pay-for-Slay” Rewards for Murder – When a Palestinian kills an Israeli or even an American, the Abbas regime rewards the terrorist’s family with generous stipends, sometimes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In 2016, U.S. veteran Taylor Force was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist while visiting Tel Aviv with his Vanderbilt MBA study group. This prompted bipartisan passage of the Taylor Force Act in 2018, which sought to cut U.S. aid to the PA until it ended such payouts. Yet corruption prevails. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies reported that after Abbas supposedly reduced these payments in February 2025, Israel released 316 terrorists during a ceasefire, while Hamas released 33 hostages. The terrorists walked free as millionaires, receiving a staggering 142 million dollars in PA funds.
- Elevating Terrorists as Role Models – The PA and PLO routinely glorify terrorists as “martyrs.” Streets, schools, and public squares bear their names. In Ramallah, “Martyr Dalal Mughrabi Square” honors the woman who led the murder of 37 Israelis, including 12 children. In 2015, Nablus unveiled a monument shaped like Israel to honor Naif Abu Sharakh, a commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
- Indoctrinating Children Through Education – The Palestinian education system is steeped in incitement. Palestinian Media Watch has documented countless examples. On National Reading Day, for instance, schoolgirls read Hanadi in the Restaurant of Horror, a book glorifying a female suicide bomber who murdered 21 Israelis in Haifa. Despite international outcry, these materials remain entrenched in PA schools.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman captured the moment well on X: “Only the United States under President Trump has come to Israel’s aid during this 7-front war. The UN has aided and abetted Hamas, as has the International Red Cross. Western Europe and Canada have abandoned Israel. Only a few true friends remain.”
The battle is not merely political, it is spiritual. As Deuteronomy 14:2 declares: “For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the LORD has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” God chose Israel not for its merit but as a vessel of His redemptive plan, culminating in the arrival of our Jewish Savior. This truth binds faithful Christians and Jews as those who are truly “Better Together.”
We invite you to join our CBN Israel team in prayer, and in sharing truth to counter the lies spread against Israel at the United Nations.
Prayer Points:
- Pray with thanks to God for His unchanging promises to Israel and to us.
- Pray for U.S. Secretary of State Rubio as he leads with wisdom and resolve.
- Pray for continued success for UN Watch in holding the UN accountable.
- Pray for UN delegates to make just and wise decisions regarding Israel.
- Pray for deeper unity between Jews and Christians to stand firm together.
