Julia Fisher talks to Eliel Fos. Eliel came to Israel from Uzbekistan when he was 13 years old. He became a drug addict and perhaps his life would have ended but his mother persuaded the House of Victory, a rehab unit in Haifa run by a team of believers under Eric Benson, to take her son in. Today Eliel’s life could not be more different. He is married with three young children and is a youth leader in the congregation. Eliel begins by explaining how he made the transition from the House of Victory to life outside.

Our aim is to build bridges… To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide.
