There are moments in God’s calendar that are not only commemorated but also carry ongoing meaning. Shavuot is one of those moments. It is when God gave His Word at Sinai, and when, generations later, His Spirit was poured out in Jerusalem. A moment of revelation that did not end—it continues to echo through history and into the present. This year, we are not only remembering it. We are stepping into it.
As we approach Shavuot, we are preparing a focused evangelistic outreach in Jerusalem, bringing together 500 Israelis for one purpose: to encounter the living Word of God in the land where it was first revealed. This is not simply a gathering. It is a deliberate moment of connection—between people and the message, between the land and the Scripture, between knowing about God and truly encountering Him.
There is something distinct that happens here. In Jerusalem, the Bible is not distant or theoretical. The places are real. The events happened here. When people walk these streets and open the Scriptures in that context, something shifts. What was once familiar can become personal. What was once abstract can become clear.
At the same time, living in Israel does not automatically mean knowing the God of Israel. Many are connected to the history and tradition, but have never encountered the message of Yeshua in a way that is clear, relational, and meaningful. Yet we are seeing a real openness. People are asking deeper questions. There is a readiness to listen. That is why this outreach matters.
We will bring people together around a shared table, walk with them through key biblical sites in Jerusalem, and open Scripture together in a natural, personal way. In that setting, conversations deepen. Barriers lower. And the message of Yeshua is no longer something distant—it becomes something they can engage with directly.
There is a reason God chose this land. The covenants were established here, the prophets walked here, and the message of salvation went out from here to the nations. Even today, Israel remains central to His redemptive plan. What happens here carries both present and eternal significance.
Shavuot is also a season of harvest, and we believe this is not only a time for sowing, but for seeing a response. Not in large statements, but in individual lives—one person at a time.
Each of the 500 people we are bringing represents a life with a story, questions, and a future. To make this possible, we are inviting you to take part in a practical way.
For $100, you can sponsor one Israeli—covering all of the logistics for that person: transportation, a quality shared meal, their seat at the rented venue, and a guided walk through biblical sites where the Word comes alive. This is not just covering a cost—it is an investment in a life that may be forever changed.
Together, we can bring 500 people into this moment. Together, we can create space for 500 encounters. And together, we can take part in what God is doing in Jerusalem in this appointed time.
Thank you for standing with us in a real and meaningful way.
Blessings and shalom,
Pastor Israel Pochtar
P.S. Imagine one person walking the streets of Jerusalem during Shavuot… hearing the message of hope, perhaps for the very first time. That moment could begin with you. One encounter. One new beginning.
