On February 6, AG News published an article featuring our work to provide war relief efforts to Israel. Here is an excerpt from the story:

When Israel was victimized by a terrorist attack late last year, Kitchen knew that Lifting Up Zion needed to help in whatever way it could.

Upon hearing of the attack, Kitchen sent a call to action to everyone on her email list and to all of her newsletter subscribers asking for donations to aid Israel.

“We started receiving donations from all over and within a few months we had sent almost $20,000 to cities in Israel,” she says. “These funds went to humanitarian aid to help displaced people, to pop-up schools for children to continue their education during the war, and to ministries who were sharing the love of Jesus to soldiers fighting on the front lines.”
