Gideon
and Nelli’s son, Urjia Bayer, an Israeli army soldier, died after
receiving a fatal head wound during a battle in Gaza in December of 2023. The
Bayers, Messianic believers, originally from Germany & Ukraine, (Urja
was one of their four children) have dedicated their lives to serving holocaust
survivors and elderly Jewish people in a special care-giving facility in Ma'alot
in northern Israel. Thousands of people, including city leaders and rabbis, attended Urjia’s
funeral. Nelli boldly shared about God’s faithfulness to their family, about Urjia’s
faith in Yeshua (Jesus) and his dedication to voluntarily serve his country of Israel. (non-Jewish residents are not required to serve but may volunteer). It was an honor to hear about Urjia’s faith, selfless sacrifice, and
then pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen Gideon, Nelli and their three surviving
children. Messiah's Compassion was able to pass on a church offering to help their family and ministry. Would you please continue to pray for the Bayer family and others
like them whose sons and daughters have perished while defending Israel?
