During Pastor Larry’s recent visit to Israel, he experienced an extraordinary encounter at Larry Huch Ministries’ newly sponsored Shavim program—a life-changing initiative now providing critical mental health intervention for active-duty soldiers, reservists, and veterans suffering from trauma caused by war.
This innovative program was designed to assist IDF veterans and soldiers in adapting to civilian life and avoiding the long-term grip of PTSD. Shavim is offering desperately needed care to those overwhelmed by psychological distress—restoring dignity and renewing strength where there was once despair.
DIVINE APPOINTMENT
While interviewing participants in the program, Pastor Larry suddenly recognized one young soldier he had met before. His name was Sion, and he had just completed several tours in the treacherous Gaza war zone. The trauma had devastated his mental health, leaving him in a state of hopelessness.
But as they talked, something powerful began to happen. The cloud in Sion’s eyes began to lift. Hope stirred.
BLESSING REVEALED
Then came a revelation that only God could orchestrate: Pastor Larry and Sion realized they had met years earlier. Before the pandemic, the LHM ministry team had dined multiple times at Sion’s Jerusalem restaurant. The connection was warm and unforgettable.
But after COVID-19 and the recent war with Hamas, Sion had lost everything—his business, his stability, and nearly his will to live.
In that God-ordained moment at Shavim, something miraculous occurred. Pastor Larry watched as the young man’s countenance transformed before his eyes. Through divine love and presence, Sion came alive again.
What began as a conversation became a lifesaving appointment, a moment of supernatural healing made possible through the ongoing support of faithful partners like you.
