Olga's story

Olga recently immigrated to Israel from Russia with her husband and three children. Their move to Israel took place very fast, and proved very difficult for them. We met them at one of our humanitarian projects and invited them to attend our Alpha Course which was about to kick off.

We also invited them to visit a local home group in their area, to which they gladly agreed. They had such a wonderful time at the home group and grew in their knowledge of Jesus, so much so that Olga also started helping as a volunteer at our congregation.

During one of the home group meetings, Olga shared that it had always seemed to her that God was with her, but she didn’t know anything about Him and she had never read the Bible before. Olga testified that ever since she had started attending the home group and congregational meetings, that she experienced God’s love in her heart — something that cannot be expressed in words.

After her very first meeting at Beit Hallel, she had told herself that she wanted to return, get involved and do everything in her power to learn more about God. She said that the greatest thing in her life was the moment she gave her life to Jesus and was born again![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Israel at a Crossroad — New Government in Uncertain Times

After five rounds of elections in the past four years, none of which seemed to have brought Israel any closer to political certainty and stability, finally a new government was sworn in. Regardless of political opinions, affiliations, or convictions, one thing is certain: Israel has never been so divided as it has for the past […]

When the Shofar Sounds:
Remember the God Who Still Speaks

As we prepare here in Israel to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, I have been thinking about a sound that has echoed through the story of our people for thousands of years: the sound of the shofar. In Hebrew, this biblical feast is called Yom Teruah—the Day of the Shofar Blast, or the Day of Trumpet […]

All Things Are Possible

Sometimes we face situations where we simply do not see a way forward. We have prayed, we have waited, and maybe we have done everything we know to do, but nothing seems to change. After some time, we can begin to think, “Maybe this is impossible.” The Bible is full of people who found themselves […]

A Call to Draw Near:
Strengthening a New Generation of Believers in Israel

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him.” Mark 3:13 There are seasons when the voice of God can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life. Responsibilities, decisions, relationships, work, questions about the future—especially for young adults, life can pull the heart […]

When a Heart Begins to Open

Sometimes the most important thing happening in a room is something no one can see. A woman may sit quietly, listen without saying much, and give little indication that anything has changed. Yet a seed has been planted. The Word of God has reached somewhere beneath the surface. And sometimes it is only later that […]

Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot Evangelism Campaign

“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:36 When Yeshua looked at a multitude, He never saw a number. He saw faces. He saw stories. He saw lives unfolding before Him—people carrying pain, questions, disappointments, fears, and […]

When God Leads You Somewhere New —
A Message from Joppa, Israel

There are seasons when life feels settled. Perhaps you have prayed for something, watched God answer, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for that place. But today, standing in Joppa—the biblical city known today as Jaffa, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast—I am reminded of something powerful: sometimes […]
