A Cry from the Mountains
A Call to Stand with Israeli Shepherds

Strengthen the hands that are weak, and make firm the knees that are feeble.

Isaiah 35:3

In a world where the spiritual battlefield is intensifying—both around Israel and within her borders—there rises a call that echoes across time and territory. It is not just the cry of a people in need, but a divine summons — a Macedonian call that still reverberates in our day.

During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’

Acts 16:9

That ancient plea is once again alive — this time from the heart of the Balkan Mountains, a land marked by both hardship and hunger, conflict and calling.

From June 8–13, a powerful gathering will unfold in the rugged beauty of the Balkans — not simply a seminar, but a prophetic appointment. A team of ten Israeli pastors will travel to meet with leaders from across this historically turbulent region. They are coming not only to teach, but to listen, to build, to pray, and to respond to a cry for spiritual discipleship and restoration.

Among them is Pastor Israel Pochtar, leading a delegation of shepherds from cities across Israel — Ashdod, Ashkelon, Beer Sheva, Kiryat Gat, and Ramle — all frontline laborers carrying the Gospel torch through war, persecution, and spiritual resistance.

Why the Balkans?

The Balkans are more than a crossroads of East and West — they are a prophetic hinge between the ancient spread of the Gospel and its full-circle return to Jerusalem. This region, once part of the route of Paul’s missionary journeys, now finds itself stirring again, with pastors hungry for truth, unity, and partnership with Israel.

Just as Paul crossed into Macedonia in obedience to the Spirit’s call, our Israeli pastors are now stepping out in obedience, bridging the spiritual chasm between Israel and the nations.

This moment is not casual — it is kairos.

We believe it carries the heartbeat of God’s promise:

I will bless those who bless you… and through you all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

Genesis 12:3

Why Now?

Israel is under fire — physically, spiritually, emotionally.

These pastors are ministering under the weight of war, tension, and unrelenting demands. They carry the burden of their people, and they are standing in the gap daily.

This journey to the Balkans is a rare opportunity for them not only to pour out, but to be poured into. To connect with leaders who are learning to walk in their calling. To build prophetic partnerships that align with the future God is unfolding between Israel and the nations.

And now, we ask you — will you help send them?

Will You Stand with Israeli Shepherds?

We are inviting you to participate in this prophetic mission by sponsoring an Israeli pastor. Your support will help cover:

  • Airfare
  • Accommodations
  • Meals and travel expenses

Every gift — large or small — is a seed sown into revival, discipleship, and unity. You won’t just be funding a trip — you’ll be arming leaders for battle, refreshing weary warriors, and investing in the prophetic alignment between Israel and the spiritual heirs of the nations.

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news…

Romans 10:15

Let us rise together in this critical hour. May the cry from Macedonia be met with hearts ready to respond, and may the light that shines from Zion continue to reach the nations — until the day when “all Israel shall be saved” (Romans 11:26).

Join us.
Stand with Israel’s pastors.
Invest in eternal impact.

Pastors spend much of their lives encouraging others. They pray with families, guide people through difficult seasons, teach the Scriptures, and help believers grow in their faith. Yet those who faithfully shepherd others also need moments to step away from their daily responsibilities, share their hearts, and receive encouragement themselves. Recently, Pastor Israel traveled to […]
