In 1974 God showed Steve Lightle in a vision that it was His plan for the Jews to return to Israel from Russia, as prophesied in Jeremiah 16:14-16. When Gustav Scheller heard of this vision in 1982 he went to Jerusalem in search of Steve. From that time on they worked together to bring this message to the Church, and to pray together with others, for its fulfilment. During an Intercessory Prayer Conference in Jerusalem in 1991 Gustav heard God say 'Now you can begin helping my people to go home' - and this was confirmed by others, including Johannes Facius, international speaker and bible teacher.

Since 1991 EEF has assisted over 100,000 Jews to return safely to Israel from the former Soviet Union by ship and plane. They are being helped by dedicated teams of Christians from around the world, who are fulfilling prophetic scriptures calling the Gentiles to carry the sons and daughters of Zion back to their land.

With the renewed rise of anti-Semitism and rapidly deteriorating economic conditions in the former Soviet Union, there is a growing sense that time is short before exits close once more. God is calling the Church to arise and take action - to love and help His chosen people, as the prophetic fulfilment of His plan for their homecoming takes place.
