Jerusalem, Israel—Michael Utterback, Director of Ministry to Israel (MTI) for the Church of God, shared a testimony of answered prayer concerning one of the 20 Israeli hostages released from captivity on Monday, October 13.

MTI, which funds and operates a support program for Israeli military called the Lone Soldier Program, looks forward to the day when they can welcome Rom Braslavski, a recipient of the program and one of hundreds taken hostage and held over two years following the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, during a music festival near the Israeli-Gaza border.

Utterback lives part-time in Jerusalem and along with several staff operates Support Centers in several Israeli cities. The centers assist Israelis seeking to return to their homeland, as well as other humanitarian and assistance programs. The Lone Soldier Program has been in place for many years to provide services to Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers who are far away from family or loved ones and seek support while serving in the IDF.

“Rom was one of our newest Lone Soldiers, having only come to us two times,” Utterback stated. “On his last visit to the Jerusalem Support Center, for some reason, he left his dog tags. Raya, one of our staff, called him and Rom said he would come back the next week to get them. He never came back.” Utterback stated that Rom was serving with security for the Nova Festival when at 6:30 on the morning of October 7, 2023, thousands of terrorists invaded the small villages along the Gaza border. Twelve-hundred people were killed, many at the Nova festival. According to eyewitnesses, Rom saved many lives and fought the terrorists until the afternoon when was taken captive.

In reporting on Rom’s condition, Utterback stated, “these precious people held captive were starved, brutally beaten, and endured unbelievable, psychological trauma. As of October 13, 2025, thank God, they are free and with their families.” President Donald Trump flew overnight to Israel to speak to the Knesset and to congratulate the people of Israel, and especially the hostages, greeting them and their families.
