Christmas & Hanukkah Children’s Project
Shining God’s Light Brightly

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
Our goal this year was to create a special Christmas and Hanukkah atmosphere for the children, to teach them about this beautiful season of miracles, light and goodwill, and remind them of their God-given heritage that enriched and blessed the entire world over 2000 years ago.

Why shouldn’t the people of Israel embrace and celebrate the birth of their Jewish Messiah who was born in this very land? Isn’t it their heritage as well?

This year Hanukkah coincided with Christmas and we were able to celebrate it beautifully with a special Christmas-Hanukkah party for the kids. Hundreds of families and children were blessed with music, food, and gifts during our celebration. Everybody was so happy and absolutely overwhelmed at the festive atmosphere we were able to create during this Hanukkah season, and in order to bring Yeshua back into the Christmas celebration.

This is largely thanks to your kindness and generosity! You have been a true blessing to the people of Israel, whether through your donation, prayers, love, and sharing about God’s work through Beit Hallel Congregation. Your support has been making a real difference in this nation, enabling more and more people to be reached with God’s truth about Yeshua’s origins.

We’re grateful for you and your generous heart! May Yeshua multiply abundantly in your life the blessing you have been to so many people in Israel.

Merry Christmas from Pastor Israel Pochtar

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Sometimes we could be living in an epic moment without realizing we are witnessing events that will alter the course of history forever for all mankind. Yeshua’s birth was probably the most low-key birth of all; born in a stable, with no one to witness or celebrate the event that would forever change […]

The Fields are White for Harvest
Sowing into salvation in 2023

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Those of us who are on the ministry’s frontline here in Israel can safely say that over the past few years we have seen a definite shift in terms of reachability and openness among Israelis when it comes to the gospel. Times have changed, and there is a definite move, as we are […]

Cyprus Leadership Seminar
Keeping Pastors’ Wineskins Full

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_column_text] Being a full-time pastor is not a synonym for a cushioned comfortable life. Not in Israel. Most of the local Israeli pastors also have full-time jobs in the marketplace, while pastoring their congregations full-time. That is a lot. Especially considering pastors need to pour so much of themselves into others. God entrusted us […]

New Sanctuary Update

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] As 2022 comes to a close, we’re so thankful to the Lord for the progress that we’ve made on our new building through His extravagant grace and favor. It’s actually quite overwhelming to realize that we’re almost at our goal of finalizing this space as a habitation for the Lord and for Israelis […]

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 […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
HaKol Efshar (הַכֹּל אֶפְשָׁר) —
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 […]

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 […]
