Blessing Israel in All We Do

Social media, books, regular emails directly to you.

Steve and Laurie Martin volunteering with CHRISTIAN FRIENDS OF ISRAEL

We will be volunteering for three months in Jerusalem, Israel, at the CFI ministry, beginning October 16, 2025, through January 11, 2026.

Laurie will assist with outreach efforts to support people as needed, as well as participate in daily lunches for the 30 staff members.

Steve will be involved with social media and, hopefully, IDF (Israel Defense Forces) connections.

Both of us will lead staff worship times during the week, along with others, and join the newly formed CFI worship team. We are really excited about this opportunity, as we love to lead people in worship of the Living God of Israel.

You will be able to follow our time there on this website, plus social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, blog) Links above.

THE PROMISE - JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME by Steve Martin (Available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, e-book)

Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders as He leads us along His ways. I am excited to share how He did it this with me, and am confident mine will be a story you’ll be able to relate to.

Think back to those times when you knew there was something more but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. In our souls, there is the hope, the cry for more, that someday questions will be answered and promises fulfilled if we just kept plugging away at what we know to do.

In The Promise, I share my first 40 years of journey with you and show you that dreams do come true.The Lord, the One Who created us has a plan in place for each one of us. When you are done reading this story, I pray that you too will know more of that good plan and His purpose for you.

Ahava Adventures

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.

Join us in backing Israel by engaging in meaningful experiences.
