Victory in Jerusalem is one of several PTM videos currently in production. PTM's video efforts are designed to provide sound Christian resources that will inspire, instruct and edify. The PTM crew traveled as guests of the Israel Ministry of Tourism, which provided hotel accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The Israeli airline El Al furnished round-trip air transportation. Israeli Tourism underwrites selected video projects to increase the public's awareness of Israel, with the hope that some viewers will be inspired to visit the Holy Land themselves.
Tourism is a major source of income for Israel.

After services, two reporters interview the Mandels and Ivins as well as an evangelical group that had brought 20 tons of seed potatoes from Munich to Slavonski-Brod. Since the Mandels and Ivins had a car filled with relief goods, they drove out into the country to visit refugees the next day. She has not been able to attend services since 1993.
