Arriving on the Wings of Eagles
“Through my service to the people of Israel, I hope to be able to repay everything that I have received.”
This prophesied return of jewish exiles to Israel includes the “lost tribe” of Dan whose descendants live in Ethiopia.
Today, The Fellowship is pleased to announce that our On Wings of Eagles program has rescued these needy Jews who longed to make their prophetic aliyah (immigration) to Israel.
Ulegar is one Ethiopian Jew who has been airlifted to Israel via Wings of Eagles. She is a widow whose husband died after a few years of marriage. Her single comfort was their only child, a beloved son. But when the Ethiopian military came to Ulegar’s village picking up boys to join the army, her son was taken. Sadly, she never saw him again.
Shattered by grief, Ulegar cried so much that her eyes became infected. It would have been a simple ailment to treat, but with no doctor in her village, Ulegar lost her sight. She had literally been blinded by grief. When a group of Jewish families made the trip to Addis Ababa to board their Wings-sponsored “Freedom Flight” to Israel, they took Ulegar with them. Thanks to the generous donations of Fellowship supporters, Ulegar is now safe in Israel!
“I am so moved that friends of Israel in Canada care about me,” Ulegar said. “Through my service to the people of Israel, I hope to be able to repay everything that I have received.”
The cherished aliyah flight was the significant start of Ulegar’s journey – but more important is ensuring her wellbeing as she enters a new and very foreign society. We hope you will share Ulegar’s spiritual journey of klitah (resettlement) as she makes the Holy Land her new home. It costs just $175 to assist with special resettlement needs like food, housing, language training, medical care, and more!
