Isaac and Jacob Lind: From Montana to Israel
Manage episode 410537955 series 3566643
If you were young and wanted to make a difference for good in the world, how would you do that? Isaac and Jacob Lind answered that question by volunteering to work in Israel.
The war brought on by the brutal Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, has created many needs, particularly a shortage of labor. The Lind brothers helped alleviate that shortage by giving seven weeks of their time with HaYovel, working on projects such as harvesting olives and building a horse therapy facility. In this interview, they share with us their reasons for volunteering in Israel, what the learned while there, and why it is important for Christians to look for ways to support Israel and the Jewish people in this time of great need.
Isaac and Jacob are representative of the many young people from America and elsewhere whose love for Israel is motivating them to do what they can to help in Israel’s time of need. This is different from the narrative we usually hear, which says that the younger generation opposes Israel and is swept up in the irrational, hate-filled rhetoric against God’s Chosen People. That’s why the Lind brothers and others like them are encouraging to all who share their love of God’s people and His land.
