My name is Sam and I live in Australia. I hope that you will be home soon and in the company of your family and friends. You and all the other hostages are always in my mind and I pray for your return in good health. Be strong, it won’t be much longer.

I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I send you all my love and wish you a safe return to you home to be with your family and friends. Every day I think about you and all the other hostages and I feel your pain. Come home soon, we are waiting for you.

You may be in a rough and tough time of your life, but the enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows God has something great in store for you. Don’t stop fighting to survive, you have so many people around the world praying for you to come home! Afterwards, may you be able to travel to your heart’s delight, for it will fill your life with wonderful stories to tell!

I pray for you every day. I see you, Namaste, your spirit is beautiful and strong and God has you in the palm of His hand.

You have a son who is waiting for your arms to embrace him once again and tell him beautiful stories of his mother’s love as he grows. Eynav will always be with you both. My prayers are with you and your son. May God bless you all!

Please come home soon! Your family and friends from around the world miss you!

There is a rainbow of HOPE at the end of every storm. For God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us, in the darkest and most dreaded moments can see the beauty of LIFE that still exists in full color. Know that you all are in my thoughts and I’m praying for you, your husband, and your children’s safe return.

Strong people aren’t simple born. They’re made by the storms they walk through. May this give you the strength for your soul to shine after the storm. ~ Joshua 1:9

If you are reading this, you’ve survived the ordeal that was dealt upon you and your country. Know that I and those around the world have prayed for your safe return. Remember the road to healing doesn’t mean the pain never existed, it means the damage no longer controls your life. Be strong, dear one.

Today, Israel and the world will start to celebrate Hanukkah. Just like the miracle mentioned in the Talmud that occurred during the Maccabees rededication of the temple, when there was only enough oil to keep the menorah’s candles burning for a single day, the flames continued flickering for 8 nights. We all have a light inside us, may this remind you that no man can snuff out your light.
