A few days ago, people across Sweden opened their newspaper and saw a familiar face looking back at them from the front page. It was Pastor Israel, standing behind a pulpit, speaking about Israel and its place in God’s purposes in these last days. The photograph had been taken at the Europe Conference in Uppsala, where thousands had gathered—and where God had once again opened a door for a voice from Israel to be heard.
But the newspaper is only one glimpse of something much bigger that God has been doing. From conference stages in Europe to television broadcasts reaching audiences across Europe and Asia, doors are opening for Pastor Israel to preach the Word, pray for people, speak about what God is doing in Israel, and point hearts toward Yeshua. And every one of those opportunities carries a remarkable reminder: from Israel, the Word is still going out to the nations.
There is something deeply meaningful about this moment. For generations, believers throughout the nations have prayed for Israel, stood with this land, supported the work of the Gospel here, and helped sow seeds of faith. Today, we are witnessing another part of that beautiful story as Israeli believers are being invited to carry the Word outward—to encourage the Body of Messiah across the nations and share a perspective that can only come from living, serving, and following Yeshua here in the land of the Bible.
At the Europe Conference, several thousand people gathered in Uppsala, Sweden, and Pastor Israel had the opportunity to minister and speak about Israel in light of the Word of God. His message and presence at the conference were later featured on the front page of Swedish Christian newspaper Dagen. Other doors have opened through Christian television, allowing the message to reach people across Europe and Asia—many of whom we may never meet face-to-face.
Yet we are just as grateful for the smaller doors.
Some opportunities place Pastor Israel before thousands. Others bring him into a small local church, where he can speak personally with believers, pray with people, and encourage a congregation gathered quietly together. The value of an open door is not measured by the size of the audience, but by the people God has placed on the other side of it.
That is what makes these opportunities so precious to us. The platform may change, the country may change, and the number of people listening may change, but the calling remains the same: to preach the Gospel, minister to people, bring a living Word from Israel, and make Yeshua known.
Friends, please pray with us for every door the Lord continues to open. Pray for Pastor Israel as he ministers among the nations, for wisdom and boldness to speak what God places on his heart, and for those listening—that the Word would take root and bear fruit in their lives.
From Jerusalem to the nations, may His Word continue to go forth.
