In honor of the 20th anniversary of Aviv Ministry, we are pleased to present the first part of our documentary film. In this episode, we share the story of our ministry: its origins, its mission, and the heart behind everything we do. Join us as we look back at the journey, the values that shaped us, and the purpose that continues to guide our work today.

In this video we share the powerful testimony of Anya – a woman who survived addiction, violence, homelessness, and life-threatening danger on the streets of Tel Aviv. At her lowest point, God reached her, restored her, and gave her a new life filled with hope, healing, and family. Today Anya and her husband Artem, both former addicts, serve the Lord together at the Aviv Center, helping other women still trapped in addiction and homelessness. Their story is a reminder that no one is beyond God’s reach, and that His mercy can rebuild even the most broken lives. 🙏 If this testimony touched your heart, please pray for the many women still living on the streets – that they too would find freedom, protection, and the love of God.

Ministry in Tel Aviv isn’t always easy – and we need to be prepared. From self-defense to medical awareness, our teams train regularly to serve safely and fruitfully. Watch how we equip volunteers to meet challenges with courage and wisdom.

"The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it" (Proverbs 22:3).

Leonid spent years on the streets of Tel Aviv, addicted and hopeless. A chance encounter at a traffic light and a notebook with “God’s phone number” changed everything. Watch how the Lord delivered him, healed him, and turned him into a leader helping others find the same hope and freedom in Christ.

Part of our work with new immigrants is to introduce them to the history of our country, the Biblical events that took place in this Land, and the truths of Scripture. Join us on this special tour for new immigrants that took place in the historic park of Ashkelon.

Vadim Birman was a talented and successful journalist, but his life was consumed by addiction — until God showed His mercy and set me free. Now, he serves at Aviv Ministry, using media to share powerful testimonies of transformed lives. In this video, see also how one visitor of Aviv Center who is struggling with addiction found hope and chose rehabilitation after watching one of Vadim's videos about God’s work in another person's life. All glory to the Lord!

Meet Eduard, the manager of Aviv Center — a soup kitchen for drug addicts and the homeless in South Tel Aviv — and the leader of our humanitarian project in Ashkelon for new immigrants and the needy. Once a criminal and drug addict, Eduard lost everything — his family, his freedom, and his hope. But God met him in his darkest moment and turned his life around. Today, Eduard ministers to other lost souls trapped in the net of addiction.
