Something told Chaim to stay, but he didn’t know why. The reasoning would soon unfold and become quite clear. God was orchestrating a divine appointment through Voice of Judah Israel.
The Lord’s Prompting
Peter, a new immigrant (Olim) making the prophetic Aliyah journey from Ukraine, came to one of our recent humanitarian relief projects at Voice of Judah Israel’s ministry, Beit Hallel. At the event, Peter was able to spend time with other new immigrants as well as receive aid he desperately needed. While walking home, he suddenly realized he had forgotten his keys at the distribution center.
By the time he returned, the building was nearly empty. Most people had left, except for a handful of staff, including Chaim. He had every reason to leave but the Lord had prompted him to stay. He didn’t understand why but was obedient to this urge to stay.
When Peter returned for his keys, a simple exchange with Chaim turned into a heartfelt conversation. Peter began to share his story. He had recently been in a serious motorcycle accident. The impact left him with a head injury and ongoing health struggles, including problems with his memory. As he spoke, it became clear that Peter wasn’t just carrying physical pain. He was also burdened emotionally and spiritually.
