 For
Zion's Sake Ministries helps support Beit Hayeshua (The
House of Salvation) drug rehab center. HoS was established by a local
Messianic Ministry to meet the ever rising drug addiction problem in Israel.
It is estimated that there are today in Israel well over 20,000 hardcore
drug addicts and many more alcholics. Many of these have come from the
former Soviet Union. However, there are many addicts also among native-born
Israelis as well as among the Arab population. The Old City of Jerusalem
itself has become a center for the drug trade.
Drug and alcohol addiction is literally
a matter of life and death for the men and women caught up in their deadly
snare! Government funds are drying up and state run rehabilitation centers
are closing as Israel is entering yet another year of deep recession.
For Zion's Sake Ministries rents out space on
its campus for the House of Salvation drug rehab center, as well as helping
out with clothing and other needs.
