Thank
you for your interest in Volunteering with Abundant Bread of Salvation in
Israel. We are a non-profit, humanitarian aid organization that
serves widows; orphans; Holocaust Survivors; Russians; Ethiopians; Arabs; and
other poor and needy Jewish people in the land.
Abundant
Bread of Salvation is led by Brian Slater who has a small team of volunteers
who assist him—some volunteers live in Israel while others live outside
Israel. While A.B.O.S may be small in size; BIG things are happening and
with it the ability to feed; clothe; comfort; assist; and pray for those we
serve....more than 400 people each month. This wonderful work cannot be
done without the help of volunteers (like you) who would like to come for a
day; a couple of weeks; or longer.
Because
A.B.O.S. spends all of
its charitable contributions on serving the people of Israel;
the volunteers who have gone through the application process and are chosen to
come and serve with us; will need to be able to: 1) provide their own
transportation to and from ministry sites; 2) have the ability to pay for their
own food each day; 3) be prepared to pay for lodging; 4) plan and pay for any
sightseeing or travel they hope to do; and 5) plan and prepare for staying in
Israel on their own or with their group; 6) receive the standard "tourist
visa" (which typically is good for 3 months...as you are technically
coming as a tourist.) We do not yet have the ability to provide
volunteer visa's; or work permits for those wanting to come to Israel.
Public
transportation and rental cars are readily available and easy to use; there are
many restaurants and street food vendors that offer excellent, fresh food that
is reasonably priced; grocery stores with fresh foods; and lodging is easy to
find at a reasonable cost--we can recommend some nearby places of lodging
and/or some online travel sites to help you with planning.
Coming to serve the people of Israel is a big commitment
on your part and we understand it will take considerable prayer and thought
before making this decision. Our desire for you is that you will come
with no preconceived ideas; a big heart to love all people; and the mindset of
Yeshua-Jesus shinning the light of the King in the land. If after reading this
introduction; you are able to fulfill and commit to these initial practical,
financial, and spiritual considerations; we would love to send you an
application. Please reply to Volunteer@AbundantBread.com
