There are moments in ministry that feel especially sacred—not because they are loud or dramatic, but because they quietly reveal the faithfulness of God over time. This is one of those moments for our family. As a pastor, I have had the privilege of watching many lives grow and mature in the Lord, but there is something uniquely moving about seeing your own children step into the calling that God has placed on their lives. It is a reminder that the seeds planted through years of prayer, discipleship, and daily faithfulness never remain hidden—they grow, and in time, they begin to bear fruit.
Recently, our son Sasson received an invitation to join an international ministry focused on evangelism here in Israel. After seeking the Lord, he felt clearly led to step into this opportunity—a season that will stretch him, equip him, and expose him to a broader dimension of ministry across the nation. While he will continue serving as a youth pastor and remain actively involved in our congregation—preaching, mentoring, and walking closely with our young people—his daily work will now take place in Tel Aviv, serving alongside a wider network of leaders and evangelistic initiatives. As a father, I felt a deep peace in releasing him into this. There is something right about allowing the next generation to grow beyond what we alone can give them, to be shaped not only under our leadership, but also through new environments and fresh challenges that God uses to refine and strengthen their calling.
At the same time, we are witnessing another beautiful step unfolding within our own home.
Our youngest son, Guy, has also been sensing a call into ministry, and in this season, he is stepping in to serve alongside me more closely. He will be joining my team, helping with the daily responsibilities of the ministry, supporting ongoing projects, and becoming involved in the life of the church, particularly with the youth. In many ways, he is stepping into areas that Sasson has faithfully carried for years, and it is a blessing to see this natural transition take place—not forced, but led by the Lord. For me personally, this is both a practical help and a deeply meaningful moment, as I watch another son begin to take ownership in the work God has entrusted to us.
As I reflect on all of this, I am reminded of Paul’s encouragement:
“Do not neglect the gift that is in you”
1 Timothy 4:14
What we are seeing is exactly that—gifts that have been quietly nurtured are now being awakened, strengthened, and put into action. This is how God builds—not suddenly, but faithfully, layer by layer, generation by generation. There is a passing of the torch taking place, not in a single moment, but through a steady process of growth, surrender, and obedience.
These seasons always carry both joy and responsibility.
As parents, we are called not only to raise and guide, but also to release. And as a ministry, we are called not only to serve the present, but to invest into the future—to prepare those who will carry the message forward. What gives me confidence in this season is knowing that this is not something we are striving to create—this is something God Himself is doing. He is the One who calls, who equips, and who leads each step with purpose.
We are deeply grateful for your continued prayers and support. You are part of this journey more than you may realize. As you stand with us, you are helping raise and release a generation that will carry the message of hope, truth, and restoration across this land. And I believe with all my heart that what we are seeing now is only the beginning of what God is preparing for the days ahead.
