Light of God - The Bayer Family’s Journey Through Tragedy | Full Movie

On Thursday, December 14, 2023, the news arrived that Uriah, a soldier in the “Maglan” commando unit, had been seriously injured and was being treated in the intensive care unit at Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva. Gideon and his wife, Nelly, have five children, Uriah is the fourth. Gideon came to Israel with his parents in 1972 when he was two. The family are non-Jewish Germans who love Israel, and especially the God of Israel. After they arrived in the country, they established a convalescent home and a retirement home for Holocaust survivors. When the war began, four of their five children (the youngest in high school) went out to defend our country. Nelly and Gideon prayed that God would protect their children and bring them home safely. Then came the phone call with the bitter news of Uriah's severe injury. Uriah fought for three days until the injury overcame the strong, handsome, loving, and beloved young man. Our team has focused on sharing stories of Faith and Hope during this time. The Bayer family is one of those exemplary stories of powerful faith and love for the people of Israel amidst such devastating days.
