It’s now 2025, and the war in Ukraine has been raging for nearly three years. The need for support has never been greater. C4I Ukraine is working tirelessly to assist the Jewish community in Ukraine, providing aid and hope in these difficult times.
Today, we have Koen Carlier in our studio to share firsthand insights into their crucial work and the current situation on the ground.
Each year, teams from Christians for Israel Netherlands travel to Israel to bring encouragement and support to the Jewish people. They visit various regions of the country, visiting as many people as possible—including schools, organizations, kibbutzim, and regional councils—distributing and planting tulip bulbs along the way.
Being part of this mission is a true privilege, and the people of Israel deeply appreciate the visits and support. Ziva from Ulpan Etzion in Jerusalem shares: “In these difficult times, your support and care mean so much to us. This is exactly what we need. Toda Raba! [thank you]”

Following the events of October 7, 2023, Christians for Israel established an emergency fund to provide aid during Israel’s time of great need. Thanks to many generous contributions, we could help address Israel’s urgent challenges. Your support has brought relief and comfort to many in Israel.
In these times the focus shifted from Ukraine to the the war in Israel. The war and the people in Ukraine seem to be forgotten, but nothing could be further from the truth. Our important work in Ukraine continues and Koen Carlier and his team are working day and night to help the Jewish people in Ukraine.
