Dear Friends of the “Gate of Hope – Petach-Tikva” Foundation!

The time flies so fast! It is hard to believe that it was 2 years ago when we uploaded the first video presentation to our channel. The pandemic faced us with totally new challenges.

When it turned out that we can no longer run our meetings and lectures in schools, we moved them to the Internet. The first video presentation regarded a story of Krysia – a little Jewish girl, one of hundreds at the time of the Holocaust. During the 2 years there were broadcasted the total of six moving stories of Hana, Roma, Jasia, Henia, Eliezer and Krysia. We recommend the stories earnestly because they inspire people to look at the Jewish nation and their history from a totally different perspective – from the perspective of a child. So far we have had about 5900 views. At this point we would like to express our deepest thanks to all people who have extended assistance and support to us. The spiritual and financial one. It is hard to express our gratitude with words. Your help is really significant. The lectures can be run because of your financial support. And as a result the participation is free of charge.

It is our pleasure to inform you that from September 2023 to June 2024 we managed to reach 24 schools of the Silesian province where about 2100 students had the opportunity to hear the lectures of the “Gate of Hope – Petach-Tikva” Foundation. Meetings with the children took place in the Silesian province.

Here is a comment of one of the teachers:

Some magic happened when Barbara was there. The teachers were afraid that forms 8 would misbehave. An elderly lady with an unpretentious presentation seemed to be unattractive these days, so six teachers safeguarded forms 3 and the young people listened transfixed. – Błażej

Dear Friends! If you consider what we do right and useful, if you are able to support this work, please extend prayers and financial support to the „Gate of Hope – Petach Tikva” Foundation.

We thank God for you from the bottom of our hearts! May the Lord bless you and reward your help abundantly!

We are sending warm greetings and we wish you that each day you would be filled with hope and joyful waiting for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

With deep gratitude,

Barbara Bałon

Dear Friends, It would not be possible to continue activities of “Gate of Hope – Petach Tikva” Foundation last year if we were not provided the support by many people – for which we are deeply grateful! We are also grateful to the Christian Foundation „Life and Mission” which has always supported us.

This time, with their assistance, we recorded lectures (six stories: of Jasia, Hana, Roma, Krysia, Henio and Eliezer) which you can find in the YouTube service under: https://www.youtube.com/@fundacjabramanadziei779

We believe that the lectures will help not only pupils learn about the Second World War, but also adults will benefit from them. And here is our great request – if you know someone who could be interested in our video lectures, forward this message to them. Last year we sent the information about our video lectures to all primary schools throughout Poland.

Til now we have had over 5400 views! We also thank all Donors who support us with their donations. For a foundation based only on funds provided by people – your financial support is priceless to us! Each donation is very significant for us and we are grateful for each of them – may the Lord God bless you and reward you abundantly! And finally the most important one – thanksgiving to our God! Without Him the “Gate of Hope – Petach Tikva” would not exist!

He deserves the whole praise, worship and thanksgiving! May His name be holy and His Kingdom spread among us! I was a great joy for us when on 1 st April 2022 the government waived practically all restrictions connected with the Covid-19 pandemic and again the doors to schools were opened for our Foundation. In that period, from April to December 2022, we reached about 2300 pupils with the message of the Foundation.

Besides we accepted invitation of the Evangelical Parish of Augsburg Confession in Wisła Malinka to a beautiful celebration – “first anniversary” of the Parish Center. There was God’s Word, worship concert, lots of guests and a program for children prepared by our Foundation.

We recommend our web page: www.bramanadziei.org.pl

On the occasion of the new 2023 year we wish you love, joy and unfading optimism in waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ.

with gratitude,

Dear Friends,

We are glad that you are with us and we are deeply grateful for it!

May Lord God bless you and reward it to you abundantly!

This time it is our great joy to invite you to sit in front of your computer screens.

On the web page of the “Gate of Hope – Petach Tikva” Foundation we posted six poignant stories of Jewish children who survived the Holocaust.

The heroes of our stories come from different parts of Poland and the world, they have various problems, yet a lot in common. They all play, learn, discover the world and prepare for the adult life.

As we listen to the lecture we get to know their dreams, plans and fears.

This is why we think that it is worth to stop for a while to confront our ideas of the Holocaust with what the children had to face.

We are sorry that we cannot meet the children and the young people live, at schools, however we are doing our best that the on-line versions would be as attractive as the former ones.

We think that in the times of the pandemic it is particularly important to promote values also on-line, in social media.

Therefore, our dear Friends, we would like to ask you to recommend our films to others so that they could get acquainted with the message of the “Gate of Hope – Petach Tikva” Foundation at home with their families.

It is our joy to inform you that we have already had 2250 page visits.

Thank you very much for your prayers and financial support.

We wish you and us that we could notice tiny details and could be glad about them and grateful for them to God!

With compliments and best regards,

Barbara Bałon and the Foundation team
