Disclaimer:

Under the circumstances, Israel needs all the supporters it can get.

For this reason, we have agreed to circulate notices of pro-Israel events around the country whether they were organized by NZFOI or not.

Naturally, Israel supporters can come from quite diverse schools of thought so in sending this notice to you, it doesn’t mean we endorse everything someone else says or does.

In all things, graciousness and kindness go a long way.

PALMERSTON NORTH: Praying for Israel meeting

The events of October 7 and the subsequent war is distressing for all.

Yet the future of Christians and Jews is tied cosmically together.  At the same time, God loves all of humankind, so much so that He sent His Son to die for us all.

Now the conflict seems to be spreading with Iran’s attack on Israel.

The need for fervent prayer is high.

Please join us in prayer each Wednesday 7 pm, at

The Bibas Family, in happier times

The DCM at the Embassy, Yael Holan has asked if we would like to “adopt” a family of hostages to raise awareness of their plight.

They are the Bibas family.

Kfir, Ariel and Shiri Bibas, and presumably their father Yarden were all kidnapped from Nir Oz, an Israeli kibbutz that was devastated when it came under attack by Hamas militants on October 7. The attackers murdered more than a quarter of the community and seized scores of others, as they fired at people’s homes, looted and destroyed what they could.

The armed wing of Hamas has claimed, without providing evidence, that Kfir, his 4-year-old brother, Ariel, and their mother, Shiri, were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said they had been killed in earlier Israeli bombing.

Kfir was nine months old when he was abducted, he will turn one on January 18.

We are proposing to hold a special meeting for them on Thursday, January 18.

Hao Room, Halswell Centre, 341 Halswell Rd, Christchurch.
