Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home — Organization Profile
Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home in Haifa is a Christian senior care home for elderly believers in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, in Israel. The name “Ebenezer” comes from 1 Samuel 7:12 and reflects the home’s testimony that the Lord has helped and will continue to care for his people. Its ministry focus is providing a safe, loving home where elderly believers’ physical, spiritual, and emotional needs are cared for in a believing environment.
Ebenezer is located in Haifa, Israel, at 41 Meir Rutberg Street. The home serves Israeli citizens in their elderly years, including Jewish, Arab, and other Gentile believers from different backgrounds and languages. Public directory information notes residents with Hebrew, Arabic, English, German, Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian, and other language backgrounds, all united by faith in Christ.
The home was founded in 1976 and has served many elderly believers, including Holocaust survivors. Ebenezer’s materials explain that older believers in Israel may experience loneliness, isolation, or rejection because of their faith in Yeshua, sometimes even within their own families. The home exists to provide a supportive Christian community where residents can live with dignity, fellowship, prayer, worship, and daily encouragement in the Lord.
Ebenezer’s daily life includes prayer, Scripture reading, singing, meals, activities, and shared fellowship. Resident activities include basket weaving, art, embroidery, rug weaving, trips, physical therapy, concerts, and other community experiences. The home also emphasizes the spiritual calling of older believers, encouraging residents to continue serving through prayer for one another, the staff, the next generation, and the wider body of believers.
The home operates as a nonprofit and relies on donations and partner organizations because many residents cannot cover the full cost of care. IsraelGives states that Ebenezer provides physical, health, social, and spiritual care in accordance with Ministry of Welfare requirements. New resident inquiries are available for people living in Israel, with applications reviewed according to resident criteria and care needs.
People can engage with Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home by praying for residents and staff, giving financially through the home’s donation pages and partner organizations, subscribing to updates, contacting the home, arranging a visit by appointment, or volunteering. Volunteer opportunities are available for adults ages 18–35 who want to serve elderly believers through practical support, nurses’ aide help, general assistance, and maintenance.

Christian HolyLand Foundation — Organization Profile
Christian HolyLand Foundation (CHLF) is a Christian mission organization that partners with local believers and ministries in the Holy Land. Its work focuses on supporting local Christian communities through evangelism, church planting, discipleship, reconciliation, relief, development, education, and advocacy. CHLF describes its role as standing with Christian communities in the Holy Land and helping the living church remain rooted in the region.
CHLF is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and its ministry serves Israel, Palestine, Jordan, the Galilee region of northern Israel, and surrounding Holy Land communities. In the United States, the organization also provides education and advocacy for churches, small groups, and ministry partners who want to better understand the complex realities facing Christians in Israel and Palestine.
The organization traces its story to ministry relationships that began in the 1970s with George Awwad, an Arab Christian minister in Jerusalem. CHLF was formally established in 1985 and later deepened its partnership with churches and leaders in Galilee after Awwad’s death in 2003. Today, CHLF emphasizes that the future of the church in the Holy Land belongs to local Christians, and its role is to support that work with humility, resources, and long-term presence.
A central part of CHLF’s ministry is the Galilee Team, a partnership with six pastoring couples native to the Galilee region of northern Israel. These leaders serve established congregations and home churches, while also leading church planting, women’s ministry, youth ministry, reconciliation events, discipleship, benevolence, and local outreach. CHLF states that the Galilee Team has grown from work in six ministries across five communities to ministry with about two dozen groups in nearly 30 villages and towns.
CHLF also supports specific ministries such as the annual Women’s Ministry gathering in Eilabun, the Holiday Youth Conference, and a Benevolence Ministry that provides food and basic supplies to families in need. Its Church Services information helps visitors connect with local evangelical congregations in Beine, Eilabun, and Cana of Galilee. These ministries reflect CHLF’s emphasis on serving both spiritual and practical needs through local pastors and congregations.
People can engage with Christian HolyLand Foundation by giving financially, praying for local Christian communities, inviting CHLF to speak at a church or small group, joining ministry news updates, participating in a pilgrimage, learning about issues affecting Christians in the Holy Land, or supporting the Galilee Team and related ministries. Donations may be made online through CHLF’s giving platform or by mail to its Indianapolis post office box.
