Alice Long

President and Founder

Alice”s love for serving the people and land of Israel began when she was on a church mission trip to Israel – a trip she would never forget. That was when the Lord first impressed her with the need for a continuous humanitarian ministry in the His land. In 2007, Alice and a friend began the fulfillment of this calling. They headed for Israel with one bag of small stuffed animals and hand puppets, which they distributed in the only hospital that opened their doors to them. This was its beginning of Maasay Yahdav’s Humanitarian Journey.

Alice graduated from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Previously, she worked as Medical Technologist and specialized in hematology and special testing at Baptist Hospital in Miami Florida. She also worked in Telecommunications Networking at Eastern Airlines.

Alice also served as the Nursing Supervisor at HRS, Dade County Health Department in the Refugee Health division, a program that was granted by ORR, Officer of Refugee Resettlement in Washington DC. While at HRS, Alice served as a Spanish-to-English translator for her pastor who held weekly services for refugees from Guantanamo at the Chrome Detention Center.

Later, she moved to Georgia and worked as Georgia’s State Refugee Health Coordinator under the Preventive Health Program at DHR (ORR in Washington, DC). She worked closely with other states, the CDC, and Volag, sponsors of the incoming refugees in Georgia. She also completed three mission trips to Cuba and has studied with the Olive Tree Foundation, Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. In all of these activities, God was preparing her for Israel. Alice retired early to continue her humanitarian work within Maasay Yadav, The Works of His Hands. (Psalm 111:7)
