UPDATE: MARCH 24th, 2026
War is devastating, and we in Israel are at war again. A war we did not chose. Our hearts long for its end.
We stand in agreement for peace, for the necessary outcomes of this war to be fulfilled, and above all, for the purposes of God—who sees the beginning from the end—to be accomplished in His perfect wisdom.
For many of us, this is not distant. We each know someone—or know of someone—whose life has been directly affected by this war.
Personally, I carry the weight and honor of knowing those who are standing on the front lines right now for Israel; for you and I.
Their courage is not abstract; it is deeply personal.
Even in these days of uncertainty, we hold to the conviction that God is at work—forming something good, refining hearts, strengthening resolve, and drawing people closer to Him. The scriptures proclaim that “God is working all things together for good”…and “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”..
We pray for wisdom—especially in how nations communicate, respond, and lead in this critical hour.
We pray for continued steadfast resolve and resilience for all who dwell in Israel, in every region—Jewish and non-Jewish alike.
We lift up those enduring relentless missile attacks, those carrying pain, injury, and profound loss over these long and difficult years.
May the Lord comfort come to the grieving, healing to the wounded, and hope arise again where it has been shaken.
The people of Israel live.
May Your perfect will, purpose, and plan come forth—bringing freedom, redemption, and light in this sacred season of Passover, Pascha, and Easter.
To heal, restore, and build bridges that last a lifetime.
May 26-June 5th, 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.
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.
