For years, it existed only in prayers. Long before there were classrooms, meeting spaces, worship gatherings, and discipleship courses, there was a vision—a vision for a permanent spiritual center in Ashdod, Israel, where the Gospel could be shared freely, where new believers could be discipled, where families could gather, and where future generations could be strengthened in their faith.
There were seasons when that vision seemed distant. Yet God continued opening doors, providing resources, and guiding each step forward. Today, as we stand inside our Evangelism and Discipleship Center in Ashdod, we are witnessing something we prayed about for many years: a dream becoming reality through God’s faithfulness and through friends like you who chose to stand with His work in Israel. What was once a vision on paper is now filled with life.
Every week, people walk through these doors for evangelism training, discipleship courses, Bible studies, prayer gatherings, youth meetings, women’s fellowships, men’s groups, and outreach activities. Some come from Ashdod and the surrounding communities. Others travel from different parts of the Land of Israel. Some arrive seeking answers. Others come hungry to grow in their faith. Week after week, we watch God meet people exactly where they are.
Recently, during one of our discipleship gatherings, we paused for a moment and looked around the room. Some had been walking with the Lord for many years. Others had only recently begun their journey of faith. Some came from religious backgrounds, while others had never seriously opened a Bible before. Yet they were all sitting together, learning, growing, asking questions, praying, and discovering God’s truth side by side.
In that moment, the building itself seemed to fade into the background.
What mattered were the people, the conversations taking place, the prayers being offered, the questions being answered, and the hearts being changed. What mattered was seeing God’s Kingdom advancing in Israel, one life at a time.
As we watch God move, we are continually reminded that Israel remains central to His redemptive story. The Scriptures point toward a future when many in Israel will recognize their Messiah and turn their hearts toward Him. We believe the Lord is preparing hearts even now, and we are humbled to play a small part in that work.
“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
Matthew 9:37
These are significant days for Israel. In a nation facing ongoing challenges, uncertainty, and historic change, the need for discipleship, prayer, biblical teaching, and spiritual encouragement has never been greater. Building God’s Kingdom in Israel requires perseverance, faith, and a long-term commitment to the people He loves. Every testimony, every discipleship group, every prayer gathering, and every person who encounters Yeshua represents part of a much bigger story that God is writing in this land.
That is why this center matters. It is more than a building. It is a place where seekers can encounter the truth of Yeshua. It is a place where believers can be equipped for ministry. It is a place where future leaders can be trained. It is a place where prayer continually rises for Israel and the nations. It is a place dedicated to the spiritual harvest God is bringing forth in this land.
Although the center is already serving people every week, important work still remains. We are continuing to furnish classrooms, provide additional seating, purchase musical instruments, install sound equipment, and create welcoming spaces that can support both current ministry needs and future growth.
These may appear to be practical needs, but each one carries eternal significance.
Every chair represents someone who may hear the Gospel for the first time. Every classroom represents believers being discipled and equipped. Every instrument and piece of sound equipment helps create an environment where people can worship, pray, learn, and encounter the presence of God. What may seem like a simple improvement today can become the place where a life is transformed tomorrow.
We would like to invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us as we complete this next stage of the vision.
Your support is not simply helping furnish a building. It is helping establish a permanent spiritual home in Ashdod—a place dedicated to evangelism, discipleship, worship, prayer, and Kingdom growth in Israel for years to come.
When future believers are discipled here, when worship rises from these rooms, when seekers encounter Yeshua, when young people are equipped to follow God’s calling, and when prayers are lifted for Israel and the nations, you will have helped make it possible.
For many years, this center existed only as a vision. Today, we have the privilege of standing inside what God has built. Together, we are not simply preparing rooms.
We are helping establish a lasting Kingdom presence in Ashdod, Israel—a place prepared for the harvest, a place where lives will be transformed, and a place where God’s faithfulness will continue to be seen for generations to come.
