The city of Karmiel
The name Karmiel means God's Olive Groves (or vineyards). 50,000 people inhabit the city. More than half are immigrants from all over the world, mostly from the former Soviet Union.
The city is at the heart of the Galilee, half way between the Mediterranean sea and the Jordan river, surrounded by many Arab settlements and a few small Jewish settlements.
Karmiel is the industrial, commercial and cultural center for the inhabitants of the Galilee, yet it is a peripheral town with all its advantages and disadvantages. more >>

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As you can see at the top of this page, we have a new logo. Its components are made of mountains – the Galilee mountains (we are located in the center of the Galilee and our vision is to serve the people of the Galilee). The Olive tree, that is so common in the Galilee and is full of Biblical symbolism from the Old and New Testaments, fits our name: "The Way", and indeed Yeshua is the way the truth and the life. There is no other way to get to God the Father, and we pray that we can be like the Olive Tree – faithful, with fruit that produces good oil for people around us, lighting their way to God. more >>
