First 17 Years of Ministry
What a Journey so far!

When God first showed me a vision of what He was calling me to build and establish in Ashdod, I never imagined it would become so extensive and far-reaching.

Through the years, the challenges, obstacles, opposition, and odds, God proved to be faithful to what He promised. His grace was always more than enough in all things.

Beit Hallel Congregation and Voice of Judah Israel were born out of God’s love for His people in this area. It has been the first 17 years of an incredible journey, letting our Lord lead the way and pave the path.

Salvations, healings, miracles, deliverances, victories, breakthroughs — Everything came hand in hand with challenges and obstacles, all of which God has been faithful to carry us through, deliver us and grant us victory.

Beit Hallel Congregation and Voice of Judah Israel have always been about people. Our work was always focused and geared towards our community, on reaching the lost, helping those in need; showing God’s love in action.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

1 Timothy 1:12

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 1:14

We’re grateful for your love, support, prayers, for your kind and encouraging words, and for being our sojourners, friends, and allies. Your heart for Israel and support of this nation through our work have been truly invaluable.
