A House for His Glory:
Raising Up Our Evangelism & Discipleship Center

I’m standing inside our new Evangelism & Discipleship Center, and honestly, my heart is just overflowing with gratitude. Not long ago this was only a dream we carried in prayer, and now it’s taking shape before our eyes. Every step forward feels like another reminder that the Lord is building this house with us.

The air-conditioning is already in place throughout the offices, meeting hall, and prayer rooms—spaces that will soon be filled with people worshiping, praying, and growing together in their faith. The electricity and water systems are being installed as we speak, laying the foundations for a fully functioning center that will be ready to welcome many.

Fresh walls are rising all around us, and each beam, each wire feels like a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

It’s been a long journey of preparation, sometimes slow, sometimes stretching, but now we can really see the progress—and it’s exciting. And yet, this is so much more than just a building project. This is the Lord’s vision coming to life. This place is being shaped into a hub of evangelism and discipleship, a place where lives will be changed forever. Here the Good News will be shared, worship will rise, and new believers will be nurtured and sent out across Israel with the message of Yeshua. From these very rooms, prayers will go up and God’s glory will be made known.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”

Psalm 127:1

I can’t help but feel deeply thankful—for every prayer, every step of faith, and every gift you’ve sown into this vision. You’ve helped us come this far, and we couldn’t have done it without you. But we’re not finished yet. There’s still more to do before this center can open its doors wide and begin its full work of ministry.

That’s why I want to invite you once again to stand with us. Every act of generosity, every seed sown, is preparing a place where people will encounter their Savior, find their calling, and be equipped to take the Gospel not only across Israel but also beyond its borders.

Together, we’re not just raising walls—we’re part of fulfilling prophecy. We’re preparing for revival in this land. And we get to build a house for His glory, right here, right now, at such a time as this.

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Israel Pochtar

The Sound of the Shofar
Awakening Our Hearts at Rosh Hashanah

Here in Jerusalem, you can almost feel the city holding its breath as Rosh Hashanah approaches. At night, thousands gather at the Western Wall for sliḥot — prayers of repentance that echo through the stones and the night air. I wish you could hear it in person: voices rising together, some weeping, some whispering, all […]

The Prophetic Call of the Fall Feasts
Hope for Israel’s Future

As we step into the High Holy Days—Rosh HaShanah (the Feast of Trumpets) and Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles)—we are reminded again that these aren’t just ancient traditions. They are divine appointments on God’s calendar. The shofar’s cry is more than sound; it is a summons to turn our hearts back to Him. The sukkah […]

From Despair to Hope:
Tatiana’s New Beginning

When Tatiana made aliyah from Ukraine to Israel, she carried more than just a suitcase. She carried the pain of losing her home to war, the weight of leaving behind everything familiar, and the uncertainty of starting over in a land that was new to her in so many ways. Life as a Jewish immigrant […]

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 […]

He Saw Them —
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 […]

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 […]
