Tommy and Sherri Waller

HaYovel feels like family; Tommy and Sherri Waller's journey from successful careers to the Mountains of Israel is inspiring. They're greening the land and fostering Christian connections with Israel, a remarkable endeavor.

All of HaYovel is our close family. I have even thought about having "Waller" written on one of our bedroom doors. If there is ever a time to take my shoes off and be myself, it is with our Tennessee family. As with so many of the people on this list, I have seen God grow them and their influence. About 6 or 7 years ago, I told my husband, "Tommy Waller will someday visit our home". Little did we know that we'd end up giving him a key! Today their name is synonymous with Judea and Samaria, with the greening of the Mountains of Israel, the grape harvest, tree planting, and the winter pruning. They have eleven children, all but three are married, and as of this month, there are 41 grandchildren! HaYovel is an experience for Christians like none other because it lets Christians connect with the Land through volunteer programs. You have the opportunity to see Biblical prophecy being fulfilled and can be part of that. Just a few words about Tommy and Sherri. They both left successful careers to live off the grid for six years in an Amish Community. Not an ordinary life, and for sure, these two were made for each other. In 2004 Tommy went to Israel for the first time, saw the vineyards, and read the Biblical Prophecies about the Mountains of Israel coming to life. It wasn't long before the entire family lived in The Mountains of Israel. Because of Tommy's close relationship with the Jewish people, he can articulate to Christians the unique role God has given the Jewish People in the Nation of Israel. Many YouTubes abound.
