Read about the ministry ›Holocaust Survivors are an important part of the heart and history of the Jewish people. They are searching for love as a balm for the past as the next generations are searching for love and purpose for the future.
Reach Initiative International (RII) has a heart to love people to the Lord, which they started doing over 20 years ago by serving hundreds of Holocaust survivors with comfort, care, activities, and more in Belarus and in Israel. Their Sunrise Center is reaching out to young Israelis who are “spiritually shopping” as they travel through India. RII’s Generation Next program also reaches youth by instilling in them a vision for intimacy with Jesus and a lifestyle of compassionate service to others, empowering them to impact their world for God.
Reach Initiative International (RII) is a Messianic Jewish ministry founded in 2006 by Stewart and Chantal Winograd.
