In every season of true growth, God first strengthens the roots. Over the past months, we have sensed a clear and gentle leading from the Lord to focus more intentionally on discipleship—not as a program to run, but as a calling to live. It is a calling to raise up believers who are grounded in truth, secure in their faith, and confident in walking daily with Yeshua.
Israel needs more than inspiration; it needs disciples. This is not a new idea, but the very heart of Yeshua’s commission to His followers. As He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Discipleship is not optional—it is central to the life and health of the Body of Messiah.
At the beginning of this year, we launched a series of discipleship courses focused on practical, biblical foundations. These included training in personal evangelism and one-on-one discipleship, helping believers learn how to walk alongside others with wisdom, love, and clarity.
This teaching was not theoretical; it was relational, hands-on, and deeply encouraging.
Thirty-five leaders took part in this season of training—pastors and ministry leaders from five different congregations. Together, they studied the Word, prayed, asked honest questions, and strengthened one another. There was a strong sense of unity in the room as the Body of Messiah was being built up from within, reflecting the principle found in Scripture: “What you have heard from me… entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.”
One of the most encouraging aspects of this journey has been the testimonies that followed. Participants shared how meaningful it was to receive practical tools for discipleship, clear biblical direction, personal encouragement, and renewed confidence to step out in faith. Many are already applying what they learned—reaching out to friends, neighbors, family members, and coworkers. Conversations are opening, relationships are deepening, and seeds are being planted.
This is how discipleship works: life touching life.
In the season Israel is walking through right now, this work is especially critical. Fear, uncertainty, and weariness surround many believers, and in such times, shallow faith is easily shaken. Rooted faith, however, stands firm. Discipleship forms believers who know what they believe and why, who can encourage others in moments of crisis, who carry hope rather than fear, and who take responsibility for the people God places in their lives. As the apostle Paul writes, “Just as you received Messiah Yeshua as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him.”
This is why we believe discipleship is not optional—it is essential. As this work continues to grow, so do the needs. We are praying for more workers in the field, more leaders willing to be trained and sent, and more resources to help us expand and sustain these courses. Yeshua’s words still ring true today: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”
If the Lord places it on your heart, we invite you to stand with us—through prayer and through support. Your partnership helps make it possible to equip believers, strengthen congregations, and raise up a generation of disciples who will carry the Gospel faithfully across Israel.
Together, we are not just building meetings; we are building people.
Thank you for praying with us, for believing in the importance of discipleship, and for helping strengthen the Body of Messiah in Israel—from the roots up.
