Israel Photo of the Week: When Steve and Laurie were in Jerusalem recently, we had the great joy of spending time with YWAMers from David's Tent in Washington, DC, who came to Christian Friends of Israel to serve for a time. We still keep in touch with Grace, who stands next to Laurie above, from Concord, North Carolina.

Amazon Jan. 22, 2026 Charlotte, North Carolina Greetings to you who stand with us for Israel and beyond. As you may know, Laurie and I just completed three months in Israel, spending time with Christian Friends of Israel in Jerusalem. What a time it was. In a few weeks, it will be time for me to go back again. I believe it is the most important time that Christians continue to stand for Israel and the Jewish people, and not back down. The word had gone out decades ago that it was, "First the Saturday people and then the Sunday people." That time has already come, as it is happening worldwide. As the world continues to turn either away in ignorance or rants heavily against the small state of Israel, while other nations murder their own citizens (Iran, Nigeria, and the list can go on in other parts of Africa) without a word being spoken on the worldwide news, Christians must be the ones standing for the Jews and the Christians worldwide. If not us, who will? With the publication of my new book today, Back To Jerusalem (my 40th, written during my 30th trip to Israel), I believe the Lord wants me to get this word out beyond the USA. That being the case, I have asked my friend Moses, whom Love For His People has supported in Pakistan for 16 years, to have it translated and published there as a start to get the word out further. I have a quote from him of $500 (plus translation into Urdu) for 100 books to start. Will you help me? You know I rarely come right out and ask for funds, but this time I am.

I appreciate you helping this small ministry do just that. Thank you! Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin Love For His People in Charlotte, North Carolina P.S. You have encouraged Laurie and me with your support before. Please continue. My latest book was published on Jan. 22, 2026, Back To Jerusalem Steve Martin (224 pages, 153 photos/images). Available now on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. In the fall of 2025, my good wife Laurie (48 years and counting) and I had the most incredible time in Jerusalem and many parts of Israel. We had come to be with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem, as needed. As I sit on the back veranda of the apartment they provided for us, I watch the sun rise over the southeast as another of His glorious days begins. My heart is full of the love of Yeshua (Jesus) for this, His chosen city, His chosen Land, and His chosen people, the Jews. We came to bring comfort to His people coming out from a heartbreaking war on the eight fronts the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were fighting, after the horrendous, murderous, home destruction day of October 7, 2023. The Israelis had been fighting for their lives, their families, their land promised to them by the Living God of Israel. We hoped to bring His love to them as Christians, standing on His Word. God the Father did not fail them. In so many miraculous ways, He protected them, united them, and caused them to cry out to Him for His salvation. Over 1200 Jewish civilians were lost that day. Over 1000 young men, women, and reserves have since been lost, destroyed by the enemy who seems never to go away. “We just want peace,” is the cry of our friends’ hearts here in Jerusalem and the surrounding hills. But, when the Messiah Yeshua returns to this very city, Jerusalem, they will know Him as their Peace King, their Shalom Most High. As that time of His return quickly approaches, we joined with several hundred Christians, coming from the nations, to comfort, stand in support, and let the love of the Father work through us for them. In this, my 40th book, written during my 30th trip to Israel since the late 1990s, I share some of my stories. Some of the 28 chapters are in the “present tense” because I wrote them at the time they occurred. You will also see over 150 photos of Israel. Many Jews are returning to their Land now, as prophesied centuries ago by Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Yeshua Himself. Christians are going to Israel to comfort and support them in their return. And then Jesus (Yeshua) will return as the King of kings and Lord of lords. I desire that the Lord Himself will touch your heart, and you, too, will join Him in this glorious work, to see His salvation come to the Jews and Arabs of Israel.
