Lt. Col (reserves) Marco Moreno served in the Israeli Defense Forces’ legendary ‘Humit (504) Intelligence Unit’ which specializes in operating human intelligence agents. In the wake of the outbreak of the Syrian revolution, Moreno was tasked to develop Israel’s response. In a surprising and historic move, Moreno pioneered what is now known today in the IDF as “The Good Neighbor Perspective.” As the architect of Israel’s wide scale effort to provide humanitarian aid to Syrians suffering in the middle of the ongoing Civil War, Moreno is one of the very few people who can tell the inside story of one of the most unique and fascinating relationships in recent history in the Middle East—Israeli Jews, international Christians, and Syrian Muslims.
Upon retirement, Moreno worked to support the Good Neighbor program as a civilian by building strategic relationships with the international Christian community to chart a new path forward together in the Middle East.
He is married with three children and lives in the Upper Galil in the north of Israel.
Joel Richardson is a New York Times bestselling author, film-maker, and teacher. Joel lives in the United States with his wife and five children.
With a special love for Israel and all the peoples of the Middle East, Joel travels globally, preparing the Church for the great challenges of our time, teaching on the gospel, living with biblical hope, the return of Jesus.
He is the author, editor, director, or producer of several books and documentaries, and is the host of the popular online Christian program, the Underground.
Dalton Thomas is the Founder and President of Frontier Alliance International and FAI Relief. Dalton and his wife Anna have four sons and reside in the Golan Heights where they oversee FAI’s work throughout conflict zones in the Middle East. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring and the Syrian revolution, they have lived and served in a humanitarian capacity throughout the war torn region.
For the last few years Dalton has been working with the Good Neighbor Unit of the Israeli Defense Force providing humanitarian aid to Syrians caught in the cross-fire of the Syrian Civil War.
In an increasingly polarized religious and political climate, Dalton and the FAI family are working to foster a region-wide alternative to jihad, genocide and war through mercy, sacrifice and enemy love.
