For the first time in our organization’s history, Chimes Israel proudly participated in NRB 2025—the world’s largest Christian media convention—held at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas, Texas. Representing Chimes Israel were Orel Galula-Lapid and Pamela Azaria from the Resource Development and Marketing Department, alongside Michal Yabo, Director of Rehabilitative Early Childcare Programs.
Our goal was clear: to share the mission and impact of Chimes Israel with new audiences, foster meaningful relationships within the Evangelical community, and highlight our flagship initiative—the creation of a state-of-the-art, fortified rehabilitative early childcare center in Ashkelon, a city regularly threatened by rocket fire. This future center will offer not only safety, but also a nurturing, innovative environment for children with disabilities—laying a foundation for brighter developmental futures for generations to come.
Throughout the convention, our team engaged in dozens of inspiring conversations with media professionals, global faith leaders, and representatives of major Christian organizations. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Many were deeply moved by our mission and eager to explore avenues for collaboration—with several promising connections already beginning to take shape.
Our booth became a gathering point, centered around a powerful and emotional video telling the story of our preschool children in Ashkelon. The video also aired across NRB’s hotel room TV channels, significantly broadening our visibility and sparking heartfelt interest among attendees.
Over 250 participants shared their contact details with us for continued communication. We are now actively following up, working to turn these initial connections into long-term partnerships that will help strengthen and expand our impact across Israel.
Participating in NRB 2025 marks a transformational step forward for Chimes Israel. As we open new doors and extend our global reach, we remain committed to creating a more inclusive and supportive world for individuals with disabilities.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this opportunity a reality—and to those who stand with us as we continue to grow, connect, and build a future where every child has the chance to thrive.
