Cultivating the harvest
What is Follow up work?

During our extraordinary evangelism campaign in Jerusalem during Shavuot (Pentecost) we saw God move in a mighty way, touching hearts and transforming lives of those who got to hear the gospel for the first time ever.

Seeing people’s response overwhelms us with gratitude, all while pushing us forward to reaching more people and spreading the kingdom of God all across Israel.

This land is quite complex, especially when it comes to evangelism and discipleship. Which is why it’s so amazing to witness real hunger for God awakened in people who are hearing the message of salvation for the first time.

When you witness so many people stand up to receive the Lord during altar call, you know you’re witnessing something extraordinary, you’re standing in the middle of a harvest.

Anyone that has ever worked in the garden knows that there’s a process to it, nothing happens overnight and it’s definitely not a one-day’s work.

That is where our Follow Up Team of truly amazing and devoted leaders come into place. They work tirelessly to reach each person to firstly bring them to our evangelism campaign, then they spend all their time connecting with each one individually, so that we give each “seeker” an opportunity to become a part of our weekly church services, receive prayer, encouragement, support, free bibles and materials.

This type of work and relationship building atmosphere is not a one time occasion. It has to be heartfelt, intentional and strategic in the way people are reached and nurtured.

After all, Jesus fed the people before He ever taught a word to them. People need to know we genuinely care. We’re not here for the numbers. We’re here for each one.

That is what our Follow Up Team’s work is all about. The work you help support, which is so crucial in reaching so many Israelis that are seeking God.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?
And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?
As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Romans 10:14-15

Your supporting this work makes it possible for the gospel to reach more Israelis, fulfilling God’s prophecies regarding this nation, until “…all Israel shall be saved!” (Romans 11:26)

The Color of a Woman’s Soul—Building on the Pillars of our Community

“Strength and honor are her clothing; she is confident about the future.” — Proverbs 31:25  It would be hard to overemphasize the importance of women’s ministry, especially in Israel, a land where God has always shown what a crucial role women play in his plan.  Whether it was Miriam, Moses’s sister who led the women […]

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 […]
