Love For His People Ministry

Supporting Israel with love and meaningful connections through visits, encouragement, financial support, and published works.

Encouragement and Friendship

...for our friends in the holy land of Israel.

Christians are to bless the Jews and help in their return to their promised Land.

By having over 20 years of building strong relationships with the people of Israel, through continual encouragement and support, our love for His people grows and brings connections.

Our heart’s desire is to do our part in speaking up for those who, for centuries, experienced nothing more than “hate” in the “name of Christ”, from so-called Christians.

That included Adolf Hitler himself, who used Martin Luther’s last completely inerrant days, of non-Scriptural theology, to espouse Replacement Theology.

This totally wrong belief is that the “Christian church” has replaced Israel as the one receiving the promises of the God of Israel. Today, it remains totally inaccurate, both historically and spiritually.

The Jews had been given, and on many occasions even bought, the land of Israel, which they have now returned to. That includes all of Jerusalem.

We are also committed, as Christians, to help Jews make “aliyah” and return to their homeland.

As Scripture states in Isaiah 49:22, “Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations and set up My standard to the peoples; And they will bring your sons in their bosom, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.”

Published Books on Amazon

Steve Martin's books share inspiration, encouragement, and travels. Enjoyable! All 39 books (as of September 2025) are available in paperback and e-books, with several in hard cover printed formats.

In several of Steve Martin's previous 38 books, he writes stories and chapters on Israel and our friends in the Land. Their lives, their courage, and the Ahava Adventures we have had, sharing our time with them in Eretz Israel.

In my desire to share these stories with you in a more concise manner, I have chosen the “best ones” and included in this book, “Love For His People – The Land and Friends in Israel”.

Having given almost 39 years so far (and this being my 39th book!) to loving and supporting the chosen people, as the Living God of Israel so ordained throughout the Bible of the Jewish people, it is proper and time.

Now, centuries later, prior to the time when the Third Temple will be built on the same location, the Jews have returned to their Promised Land, re-established their nation in 1948, and recaptured the entire city of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967. The times of the Gentiles' rule over the city have drawn to an end. The time of the Jews will complete this end.

Having been victorious in the wars surrounding nations have begun against them, the Jewish people continue to be under the protection of the Lord Almighty, Who Himself will cause them to be the fulfillment of Scripture, and be in the Land that He will return to, as the Ruler of the Nations.

Sharing this book, containing some of my experiences in Jerusalem and all of Israel, is a joy, and also a promise to always stand with Israel. To get this book, "Love For His People" on Amazon: Purchase "Love For His People" book.

When I travel to Israel twice a year, the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) has now called me to bring others who want to connect with Israel and the Jews living in their Land. (As of May 2025, I have gone 30 times on other ministry tours, alone, or taking others with me.)
The Lord gave me the name “Ahava Adventures” in 2010, and I wasn’t quite clear on the plan or purpose (or the willingness as I increased in physical age!) But now here is the plan as I see it. Briefly.

We will walk where no big tour groups can walk (averaging 4 miles/day in Jerusalem) or take you to ride the local transportation in Jerusalem as the Israelis do—on the bus, light rail in Jerusalem, and the high-speed train from the airport to Jerusalem.

We will join others in worship of the Lord. We will go to the beautiful Golan in northern Israel on hikes at the Banias Springs and Nimrod Fortress and take a day trip excursion bus to Masada/Dead Sea/Ein Gedi national park. You will meet my gift shop friends on Ben Yehuda Street and a special one on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. (Good prices for you!)

Our primary focus on each trip is connecting you with the Land the Lord God of Israel has given to the chosen Jews. We also want to personally connect you with the people whom He has brought back to their Land (made aliyah/immigrated) or with those who have been born there (sabras). That is our primary purpose. Once you have made these connections, I hope they will be everlasting.

One more fundamental note: This isn't a "tour". It's an adventure of love (Ahava in Hebrew).
