Work visits to Ukraine

Each year Christians for Israel organizes a working visit to Ukraine. These are one-week trips (from Saturday to Saturday). At the beginning of the week the participants spend one day packing food parcels, which are then brought by bus to poor Jewish families in various cities and villages.

Christians for Israel organizes several working visits each year. They are especially important in the lead up to winter. In 2016, trips are planned from 22-29 October (full) and 10-17 December (open).

Each trip has a minimum of five and a maximum of twenty persons.

Participants book their own flights to Kiev/Borispol, where they are met by Christians for Israel Ukraine's aliyah field worker Koen Carlier. You probably know Koen from the many stories published in our newspapers and websites.

The cost of each working trip is € 400/ $ 450 per person (land arrangement only, snacks and drinks included). Participants are encouraged to arrange their own travel insurance.

Participants must make sure they have a valid passport that is valid for at least 6 months.

These working visits offer a unique opportunity to meet Jewish people, discover the country of Ukraine, and understand the history of the Jewish people in Ukraine. Little is known in the West about the tragic suffering of the Jewish people in this country.

Our desire is to enable those who have supported our work for many years to visit and experience our participation in the “Bring the Jews Home” project, and to bless the Jewish people in Ukraine. Participants return from these working visits as ambassadors of this special work that we as Christians for Israel are doing in Ukraine.

Six programs are planned in 2017. The dates will be published in mid-November 2016.
