From the Galilee, the Gospel Shines Forth This Sukkot

Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is almost here. For generations, this holiday has been a time of joy, when families remember how God cared for His people in the wilderness and lived among them in a simple sukkah (booth). But Sukkot is not only about the past. It reminds us that God still wants to be close to His people today — to fill hearts with His Spirit and bring His light into everyday life.

And what better place to share this message than in the Galilee — the very place Yeshua walked.

It was here that He called fishermen to follow Him.

Here He healed the sick, calmed storms, and fed the hungry.

Here He spoke words that continue to change lives today.

“The people living in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”

Matthew 4:16

That light still shines in the Galilee.

A Special Outreach This Sukkot

This Sukkot, more than 600 Israelis will come to the Galilee for a full day of discovery and hope. None of them knows Yeshua yet. For many, this will be the first time in their lives they hear who He really is — not as part of a religion, but as the promised Messiah of Israel who brings healing, forgiveness, and peace.

Throughout the day they will visit biblical sites — walking the same ground where Yeshua once called His disciples, taught the crowds, and performed miracles. Standing in these places makes the Scriptures come alive and helps people see that the message of Yeshua is not distant or foreign, but rooted in their own land and history.

Then, at the heart of the day, all 600 participants will gather together in one large venue.

It will be a powerful moment — people of all ages and backgrounds, sitting side by side, hearing the Gospel of Yeshua clearly and openly proclaimed. For many, this may be the very first time they hear the truth about the Messiah of Israel explained in a way that speaks directly to their lives.

Picture it: buses arriving, families stepping off, young people full of curiosity, elderly immigrants finding a seat. They are welcomed with food and smiles. They walk through places from the Bible. Then they sit together under one roof, listening as the Good News is shared with them in love and clarity.

Every single person has their own story, their own struggles, and their own questions. And each one is deeply loved by God.

How You Can Help

It costs just $70 to bring one person to this outreach. That amount covers transportation, meals, entry to biblical sites, and participation in the full program — including the gathering where the Gospel will be preached to hundreds at once. But what really matters is the opportunity it gives each person to hear the Good News for the very first time.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field.”

— Matthew 9:37–38

This Sukkot, we are stepping into that harvest — right here in the Galilee, where the Gospel first began.

Would you prayerfully consider helping us bring as many people as possible? Whether you can cover one person or several, your support makes it possible for Israelis to hear about Yeshua, maybe for the only time in their lives.

Together in the Harvest

Two thousand years ago, the Gospel began in the Galilee and spread to the nations. During Sukkot, it is being shared again in the very same place — and from here it will continue across Israel. This Sukkot, may those living waters flow again. May tired hearts be lifted, broken lives restored, and searching people discover their Messiah.

Together, we can send forth the light of Yeshua from the Galilee once again during the Feast of Tabernacles.

The Work He Left In Our Hands —
Galilee Evangelism Campaign

Here in Israel, many people can know the names of biblical places and the stories connected with them — and still know very little about who Yeshua really is. For many of the new Jewish immigrants we meet, Israel itself is also new. They are building a life in a new country, discovering the land, […]

Some of the Holocaust survivors who walked into our gathering in Ashdod already knew us. Others did not. We could see the hesitation on a few faces, and we understood it. They had been invited into a room with people they barely knew — and we were wondering how they would respond when we spoke […]

Inside the Sukkah:
Remembering the God Who Provides

One of the things I love about Sukkot is how many simple reminders of God’s faithfulness surround us during this Feast. We build the sukkah, we sit beneath its branches, we share meals together as families, and we remember something our people have needed to remember for thousands of years: everything we have ultimately comes […]

We all become tired sometimes, and I don’t mean only physically. There is another kind of tiredness that comes when you have been carrying something for a long time. You have prayed, you have tried to make the right decisions, you have kept going, but the situation has still not changed. After some time, you […]
