"Survivors"  will re-air tonight on the original TV series Why Israel Matters on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), which is partnering with the producers of the series, Christians in Defense of Israel (CIDI) and Liberty Counsel. This episode depicts how God has gifted the Israeli people with great perseverance, which is a testimony to the entire world throughout history and even into the modern era.

One of the three stories in this "Survivors" episode gives a glimpse into that perseverance. Daniel Yahav, the son of a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Israel in 1948, left active duty in the Israel Defense Forces with the rank of major. At the age of 26, with only a high school education, Yahav and his team of faithful managers took Galtronics, a Messianic/Christian telecommunications company, from bankruptcy into the sole supplier for Motorola worldwide with a yearly turnover of $18 million.

"When I was appointed directing general manager, we couldn't pay salaries," says Yahav. "Police came to confiscate equipment because we didn't pay our bills. There were 24 court cases against us. People threatened to burn the place down. We prayed and asked the Lord what was wrong and repented of every sin in the camp. After that, things began to turn around."
