About Us
A Future and A Hope is an Israeli registered non-profit organization established to speak hope to this generation by bringing truth into a lie-filled environment. Established in 2004, our goals include providing up-to-date information to the public about all aspects of abortion and its consequences, sexually-transmitted diseases, birth control, post-abortion syndrome; increasing public awareness and encouraging development of educational programs for youth to deal with and correct the widespread misconceptions about sex and sexuality, as well as about sexual purity and abuse. Our main office is located in a central location in Haifa, close to main bus lines. Our programs are designed to help mothers make a choice for life and to support them in their decision as much as possible.
Our Team
Our small, but knowledgeable, staff have close to 50 cumulative years of experience bringing truth and hope to others. Ultimately, our team's goal is to inform and influence our generation, and, particularly, Israel’s next generation, to be part of bringing a future and a hope to our entire nation.
THE BACKGROUND LEADING TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT
Worldwide, the issue of abortion has become synonymous with a woman’s rights. However, the success of the pro-abortionist’s agenda is laden with misinformation, and the national and personal fallout is horrendous. Since 1950, the worldwide birthrate has dropped by 50%. One aspect of this movement includes education for safe sex – as early as kindergarten! Yet, according to a 2016 report in the USA regarding sexually transmitted disease (STD) – more people are becoming infected with STDs than ever before (not including AIDs). Our nations, our children, and even the Bible believing community, are buying into lies that destroy relationships and lead to the slaughter of innumerable innocents, leaving behind a host of wounded and hopeless young women and men. A woman fighting post-abortion trauma, or a young person diagnosed with an STD, will offer similar testimonies. When asked, “But didn’t you know about…” – across the board their answer will be, “no one told me.” While Israel is the Biblical Holy Land, the Israel of today is also a microcosm of the world. It has been estimated that, since the founding of the State, over two million children have been killed throughabortion. Sexual freedom has been at the heart of Israeli society since the founding of the Kibbutz movement.
WHERE IS THE HOPE?
The words of the prophet Jeremiah are as relevant today as they were to the Jewish people who were sent into exile in Older Testament times. Despite the state of the people’s present rebelliousness and sin, God’s rebuke and punishment were accompanied by words of comfort, “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). As mentioned above, A Future and A Hope is an Israeli registered, non-profit organization established to speak hope to this generation by bringing truth into a lie-filled environment. Established in 2004, our goals include providing up-to-date information to the public about all aspects of abortion and its consequences, sexually-transmitted diseases, birth control, post-abortion syndrome; increasing public awareness and encouraging development of educational programs for youth, to deal with and correct the widespread misconceptions about sex and sexuality, as well as about sexual purity and abuse. Understanding the huge challenges facing a woman in a crisis pregnancy, A Future and A Hope serves as a bridge, enabling her to find the courage to nurture – beyond birth – the life she carries within. In addition to counselling, our First Year of Life Program, provides the essentials for her newborn’s first year, as well as a 12-month financial subsidy to help meet her and her newborn’s needs. Beyond the first year, as the child grows, we follow-up with each family, providing ongoing counsel, and meeting specific physical and material needs. We relate to the woman as a whole person and often our assistance benefits the whole family, that includes additional children, to repairs in their rented apartment or offering family or marriage counselling, as well as providing other services. We seek to give life to unborn children, as well as a future, and bring hope not just to them, but to their entire family.
TRUTHBEARERS
A Future and A Hope is committed to exposing the lies disseminated by the world’s agenda by utilizing the rights guaranteed to us here in Israel. To that end we prepare and print brochures relating to abortion, to sexually-transmitted diseases, and to abstinence. We have been invited to speak to children and young adults in Israeli schools from the fifth grade through to the university level. We have shared New Testament perspectives regarding family-related issues to Jewish religious academics and family counselors! We have spoken live on radio and been invited to speak at army bases. Our outreach to prostitutes has led some to respond, come to our center for counseling, and to ultimately enter into a life-changing relationship with Yeshua their Messiah.
Most of the stories we hear are heart-breaking. And some are especially difficult, particularly when we are asked to counsel a young woman or family who are professing Bible believers. Why? Because so many of these families have never received any teaching on sexual behavior from a Biblical point of view, or regarding abortion, or how to battle the temptations faced in our over-sexualized world. Here again, A Future and A Hope is seeking to expose lies that have infiltrated the believing community. We are often asked to conduct special workshops for children and/or parents on a variety of topics related to sex and sexuality, purity, and godliness praying that these young people will go forth and become truthbearers in their own congregations and community.
