“Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth…”
Ecclesiastes 12:1
There are moments in life that quietly shape everything that follows. Graduation. Leaving home. Beginning a career. Choosing lifelong friendships. Building a family. These are the years when convictions are tested, identities are formed, and the direction of a life often begins to take shape. For young believers in Israel, those years carry an even greater weight.
Within a short time, many of them will step into military service, universities, workplaces, and a society where following Yeshua can often feel lonely and challenging. New responsibilities, difficult questions, and constant pressures will compete for their attention and their faith. The question is not whether they believe today—it is whether they will be equipped to stand firm tomorrow.
That is why our Summer Youth Discipleship exists.
For one month, young men and women from congregations across Israel step away from the noise and distractions of everyday life to devote themselves wholeheartedly to God. It is an intentional season of discipleship designed to strengthen their relationship with Yeshua before they enter one of the most formative chapters of their lives.
Together they spend each day immersed in God’s Word, learning not only what they believe, but why they believe it. They receive personal mentoring, grow in prayer and worship, learn how to share their faith with confidence, serve others through practical ministry, and wrestle with real-life questions about identity, relationships, purity, calling, and making biblical decisions. It is a month of laying spiritual foundations that, by God’s grace, can influence an entire lifetime.
Yet there is one challenge we face every year. Nearly 70% of the young people who long to participate simply cannot afford the cost themselves. For many families in Israel, the financial burden is simply too great. Without the generosity of friends who believe in investing in the next generation, these young believers would miss an opportunity that could profoundly shape their future walk with the Lord.
A gift of $400 removes that barrier for one young believer. It provides a full month of concentrated discipleship, including daily biblical teaching, personal mentoring, meals, transportation, ministry opportunities, and the resources needed to create a safe environment where young believers can grow deeply in their faith before stepping into adulthood. Your gift is not simply helping someone attend a program—it is investing in a life that will influence families, congregations, workplaces, and communities for years to come.
We often say that the future of the Church is the next generation. But the next generation is not prepared by accident. They are strengthened by people who choose to invest in them today. As you pray for Israel, would you also prayerfully consider helping remove the financial barrier for one of these young believers? Together, we can help prepare a generation that will carry the light of Yeshua with courage, wisdom, and unwavering faith throughout this land.
