To heal, restore, and build bridges that last a lifetime.
This Spring 2026, Do Hope Israel will facilitate our ‘Peace by Peace’ retreat. We will bring six U.S. veterans and six Israeli veterans together for eight days of fellowship, faith, and transformation at Lodestar Mountain Inn, WV.
This is more than a seminar—it’s a chance to change lives, mend hearts, and be a carrier of God’s unshakable love and shalom for others.
This immersive program is designed to:
PBP is a comprehensive rehabilitation, development, and community-entrepreneurship initiative designed for soldiers and war veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder and/or moral injury.
The program creates supportive environments where participants can process their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and grow beyond the impact of battle. Through practical tools and guided practice, veterans learn to restore mental and emotional balance, strengthen their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, and become catalysts for positive change within their communities.
Rooted in Judeo-Christian principles and values, our curriculum fosters deep mutual understanding, respect, and collaboration between nations and diverse backgrounds.
PBP promotes peace and healing across three interconnected circles:
Promote Health and Resilience – equipping participants with tools for emotional regulation, physical well-being, and renewed purpose.
Cultivate Peace and Purpose – guiding veterans to move from pain toward a life of meaning and contribution.
Regular gatherings where everyone is welcome to share a meal, connect, and experience the power of community.
Coming together, cooking together, sharing life together
More than just food, this is a place of encouragement, friendship, and hope for all.
In a world that can feel disconnected, especially in the PTSD community, Peace by Peace brings people back together. Whether a veteran is looking for companionship, support, a retreat, or simply someone who is there to listen then this is the place where you belong.
