In a moment the world thought might never come, the final twenty surviving hostages held in Gaza since the horrific October 7 attack have been released and returned home. After more than two years of unimaginable darkness, they are home.
This is more than historic news—it is answered prayer.
Pastor Larry and his daughter Katie were in Israel when this final group of hostages was freed. As celebrations broke out across the country, Pastor Larry shared a powerful truth you need to hear:
“One of the ICU ambulances that you funded for the Israel Defense Forces was deployed to medically treat and bring home some of these final twenty hostages. God honored you when you said, ‘Yes, I will stand with the nation of Israel.’ Because of your faithfulness, the remaining hostages were delivered home, bringing healing and joy back to their families and to the nation of Israel.”
Your prayers, your compassion, and your faithful monthly offerings played a meaningful role in the peace agreement that made their release possible. You were part of their miracle.
Your Impact Already on the Ground
Because of your unwavering support, Larry Huch Ministries has now funded 14 fully equipped ambulances and 2 military ICU ambulances serving communities and soldiers all across Israel.
These are boots-on-the-ground miracles.
They are pulling wounded soldiers out of danger… Delivering lifesaving care to civilians under attack… Transporting victims of terrorism to safety… And as we’ve seen firsthand, they are bringing hostages home.
Two of the freed hostages were transported in an LHM-funded ambulance—one that you helped put on the road.
On the Front Lines: A New Military Ambulance Dedicated Near Gaza
During their recent visit, Pastor Larry and Katie stood with brave young IDF paramedics as they dedicated a brand-new military ICU ambulance funded by LHM partners.
This wasn’t a ceremony for show. It took place just a few kilometers from the Gaza border—one of the most dangerous areas in Israel today. There, medical teams continue to face active threats while racing into harm’s way to rescue the wounded. This new ambulance is fully equipped to provide immediate life-saving care as soldiers and civilians are evacuated from ongoing hotspots.
Because of you, these heroic medics now have the tools they need to save more lives.
Sacred Service. Eternal Impact.
As we rejoice in the safe return of the hostages, we are reminded of something powerful:
Every act of kindness creates a ripple of hope. Every offering becomes a lifeline. Every prayer becomes a covering of protection.
Israel is still healing. Families are still rebuilding. And the need for medical support remains urgent. Your generosity continues to shine as a beacon of compassion to a nation that desperately needs it.
Thank you for standing with Israel—faithfully and boldly.
Now Is the Time to Stand
Even with this breakthrough moment, the work is far from finished. Ambulances must be maintained, upgraded, and continually deployed. New vehicles are still needed in multiple regions. Lives hang in the balance every single day.
Israel still needs us.
If your heart is moved to continue this sacred work, your support will make an immediate and lifesaving impact.
Together, we are writing a story of hope, healing, and unwavering love for Israel and the Jewish people.
