City of Life Ministries prepares the way for the return of the Messiah by reaching out to the people of Israel.
Read about the ministry ›Located in Israel on the border with Gaza, Sderot is constantly targeted by Hamas, the Islamic terrorist organization that rules Gaza today. The city has suffered from many rocket attacks, fires caused by incendiary balloons sent across the border, the construction of secret tunnels from Gaza, and most recently, it was targeted by terrorists who infiltrated the country to attack the civilian population on October 7, 2023.
In order to reach the traumatized and needy citizens of Sderot, the town on the border with the Gaza Strip, the City of Life Ministries is very active in showing God’s love to the locals through social work. The organization reaches and supports some of the most vulnerable in their community. At the same time, they are building and establishing local communities of believers in Messiah across the Negev, where they are training and raising new leaders for ministry.

Give nowLocated in Sderot, less than a mile from the border with Gaza, the congregation started in the year of 2000 as a prayer group for young students from the local university. Several years later, City of Life Ministries was founded to reflect the light of Messiah Yeshua and make His name known to the Jewish people in Israel. Led by Pastors Michael and Dina Beener, the ministry is characterized by its active social work, fully engaging with the most disadvantaged in the city.
Michael Beener was born in the eastern part of Ukraine. In 2006, he made aliyah and joined the congregation in Sderot. It was led at the time by Dina, who would become his future wife. Michael and Dina married in 2009, and Michael became a Senior Pastor. This gave a new jumpstart to the Ministry, especially the outreach to the local communities.
