TEL AVIV STREET OUTREACH

We return to the streets.

Each week, our team meets people facing homelessness and addiction in Tel Aviv, often reconnecting with people we already know.

LISTEN / PRAY / RETURN

How a street visit begins.

Volunteers stop to talk with people and listen to what is happening in their lives. They offer prayer when it is welcome and share the Gospel without pressing anyone for a response.

Trust can grow over time, and each person remains free to choose whether to engage.

TESTIMONY / EXPERIENCE / HOPE

Stories from lived experience.

Many outreach volunteers have experienced drug use themselves and later became Christians. They return to the streets and share their own testimonies, speaking from experience about addiction, recovery, and the hope they have found in Jesus.

BAPTISM / NEW LIFE / HOPE

A joyful step of faith.

When someone we have met through outreach chooses to follow Jesus and be baptized, we rejoice with them. It is a meaningful step in that person’s journey of faith and a reminder of the hope of new life in Christ. We are grateful to share in these moments with people who have faced homelessness or addiction, and to encourage them as they continue in faith.

WHEN SOMEONE ASKS FOR HELP

A next step, taken by choice.

When someone wants rehabilitation, KBN helps explore options at existing Christian rehabilitation centres in Israel. The team can help arrange transport when a suitable centre has space. Any placement depends on the person’s willingness and the centre’s capacity; it cannot be guaranteed.

The team follows up and encourages people considering recovery without pressure. KBN hopes to establish its own Christian rehabilitation centre in the future. This is a long-term hope; KBN does not currently operate a rehabilitation facility or have a confirmed construction project.

Help us keep going back.
