Sharing my Ahava Love Letters, photos from 10 previous trips to Israel, and additional historical and current truth, both from those who also stand in support of Israel and myself, has been a true blessing and fulfillment of His purposes and ongoing will.
Most importantly, I am grateful to my Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) who had me begin Love For His People, Inc. in 2010, and this specific Blog site in October of that year.
It has been quite an interesting and rewarding journey, and I look forward to the many opportunities and open doors He has in store for the work yet ahead.
As we press on in our support of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide, we look to the One Who put this desire in our hearts.
And that desire, to pay back our "debt to Israel" and the Jewish people, while serving the King of kings and the Lord of lords, is stronger than ever.
Blessings on ye all!
Ahava and shalom,
Steve Martin

Come ride along in this Ahava Adventure journey!

Some of our popular postings come from the website "Israel's History - a Picture A Day. Here is a portion of their latest posting.
When I discovered 22,000 newly digitalized antique pictures of Eretz Yisrael in the Library of Congress archives two years ago, I immediately recognized the pictures' hasbara value. The photos showed Jewish life in the land 150 years ago, well before Herzl and the establishment of the State of Israel.

In 1980, I started an organization called "Doctors To The World" which took medical personnel to various areas in the world to do volunteer work in needy areas. We sent dentists into villages in Israel to serve mostly Israeli Arabs and anyone else needing help. That was when I took out Israeli citizenship so I could get a medical license in Israel.

My father took only some of the photos. Many were either post cards or some other stock photos. Those that had an imprint on the back [some are stamped "Keren Hayesod Photo] I assume is that of the developing and processing individual.
