When I stand here in our future Evangelism and Discipleship Center in Ashdod, what I see with my physical eyes is unfinished work—materials stacked, tools waiting, rooms not yet formed. But that is not what fills my heart.
When I open my spiritual eyes, I see something completely different.
I see worship rising from this place. I see young people and families lifting their voices to Yeshua, praising His name with joy and freedom. I see a stage prepared not for performance, but for proclamation—where the Gospel is preached clearly, where the beauty of God’s Kingdom is explained, and where men and women encounter salvation and new life.
I see tables—round tables—where families sit together, grow together, and discover what it means to follow Yeshua in everyday life. I see pastors and young leaders gathering here, being trained, encouraged, and strengthened in the Lord. I see lives being transformed and people being prepared for their mission. I truly believe a movement of God will go out from this place.
I see Alpha discipleship courses, women’s conferences, men’s gatherings, prayer, teaching, and deep fellowship. I see rooms prepared especially for children—spaces filled with singing, worship, laughter, and the Word of God. Our children are not the future Church; they are the Church today. This center will be full of life.
I see teams brainstorming, praying, and dreaming together—asking God how to reach Ashdod, how to reach other cities, and how to carry the Gospel throughout Israel. I see older believers sitting around tables, studying Scripture, growing in faith, and pouring wisdom into the next generation. I see joyful fellowship, with children running around, just as they do in our congregation today. This house will be alive.
All of this is unfolding in a very difficult season for Israel. We are living through war, loss, uncertainty, and deep pain. And yet, in the midst of sorrow, I see God moving powerfully. I see biblical promises being fulfilled before our eyes. In a time of shaking, God is building His Kingdom and preparing a future marked by hope, joy, and the love of God.
This is why this center matters now.
From Ashdod, the Gospel will go out—not only to our city, but to many cities across Israel. Lives will be transformed. Believers will be equipped. Mission will be birthed. And the blessing will not stop at our borders—it will touch the nations.
Dear friends, I want to speak to you from my heart:
God has given us the vision—but now we must also prepare the house. To complete this Evangelism and Discipleship Center, we need help in very practical ways, including construction, infrastructure, worship and sound systems, classrooms, children’s spaces, and areas dedicated to teaching, discipleship, and prayer.
I invite you to stand with us not only in prayer, but also through financial giving. We are only $40,000 away from being able to start using this center for ministry, and $80,000 from completely rapping up this building project in all its facets.
Your gift—whether large or small—will directly help turn this unfinished space into a living center of salvation, worship, and discipleship. Your partnership will help prepare a house where people encounter Yeshua, families are restored, leaders are trained, and hope is released in the Land of Israel.
Please pray and ask the Lord how He would have you participate. And if God leads you, I invite you to give toward the completion of this center.
You are part of this story.
You are part of what God is building in Israel.
Together, through prayer and generous financial partnership, we will prepare this place for His glory—and see lives transformed in Israel and beyond. Thank you and God bless!
In Love and Gratitude,
Pastor Israel
