A large group of people went from Word of Life to Israel in 1987 and since then the call to take Christians to Israel and Israel to Christians has characterized the church. In all the negative noise surrounding Israel, the Word of Life wants to encourage Christians to believe in God&#8217;s promises for the land the Lord promised to Abraham and his seed:<\/p>\n<p><i>And the LORD said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father&#8217;s house, and go into the land which I will show thee. There I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse the one who curses you. In you all the families of the earth will be blessed.&#8221;<\/i> &#8211; Genesis 12:1-3<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Word of Life Church has had a strong commitment to Israel in several different ways. Among other things, the parish launched Operation Jabotinsky in the early 90s. Through this work, over 18,000 Russian (and some Indian) Jews have been helped to return to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The Word of Life organizes regular trips to Israel, the land where Jesus lived and worked. A trip to Israel can bring the stories of the Bible to life and make them more real, strengthening the Christian faith.<\/p>\n<p>The Word of Life prays regularly for Israel and the Jewish people and is in contact with several Messianic congregations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-413bdb3 elementor-align-left elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"413bdb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livetsord.se\/om-oss\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read more about Word of Life<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7407e456 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7407e456\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e4805df e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4e4805df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-341137aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"341137aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our resources<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15406e6d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"15406e6d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a0a42fc e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a0a42fc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51d20d49 elementor-cta--layout-image-above elementor-cta--valign-middle elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-cta--skin-classic elementor-animated-content elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"51d20d49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg elementor-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.israelreport.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IsraelPodden_hemsida-2.jpg);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"IsraelPodden_hemsida 2\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIsraelpodden\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Israel Podcast provides you with more information about Israel today, knowledge of its history and Israel's role in the future.
