She and her husband immigrated to Israel in 1989 and founded House of Victory rehabilitation center for Jews and Arabs and Carmel Congregation in 1991. Karen and her “one new man” worship team of Jews and Arabs are dedicated to building unity in the Body of Messiah in Israel through praise and worship.

Permanently residing in Israel, Karen and her late husband David also ministered for many years internationally as a team with a strong emphasis on the prophetic and the “one new man” in Yeshua.
