Making Room for the Harvest —
Finishing the Evangelism and Discipleship Center

Every week, we see people respond to the Gospel here in Israel. Some are young, some are older. Some come with many questions, others carry deep pain. In this season especially, many are searching for truth, hope, and something solid to stand on.

More than once recently, we’ve spoken with people who said, “I want to grow, but I don’t know where to go next.” They’ve responded to the message of Yeshua, yet they need follow-up, teaching, prayer, and a spiritual home where their faith can take root and mature. Evangelism opens the door — but discipleship is what helps a life remain standing.

That is why we are building our Evangelism and Discipleship Center.

In recent weeks, we have been spending time inside the building as construction continues. The center includes offices, classrooms, and a main hall that will be used for worship, prayer, teaching, and special gatherings. The classrooms are being prepared for Bible study, discipleship, and training — spaces where people can ask honest questions, be grounded in Scripture, and grow steadily in their walk with God. The main hall will serve as a place where the congregation and guests can gather to worship and pray together. Much of the structure is now in place, but the building is not yet fully ready for use.

We are building this center because God is moving in Israel today. We see young people opening their hearts to Yeshua, believers choosing to go deeper in their faith, and many searching for hope in the midst of fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty. This movement is not theoretical for us — it is something we encounter week after week.

Israel is living through a very difficult season.

War, loss, and emotional strain are part of daily life. These realities affect families, communities, and congregations across the country. In times like these, the need for strong discipleship, prayer, and spiritual stability becomes urgent. People are not only asking what they believe, but also how to live faithfully in the midst of pressure.

Our heart is that this center will be a home for evangelism, discipleship, worship, and prayer. A place where the Word of God is taught clearly, where the next generation is equipped, and where people find healing, direction, and renewed purpose in Yeshua. This is about preparing a space that can serve the work God is already doing — not just today, but for years to come.

We want to share honestly where things stand.

While construction has progressed well, there is still important work to be done. The classrooms and main hall still need to be furnished, and sound and audio-visual equipment still needs to be installed so teaching, worship, and prayer can take place properly. At this stage, we are approximately $40,000 away from completing the project. These remaining funds will allow us to finish the building and open it fully for ministry.

We share this not with pressure, but with faith. The Lord has been faithful at every step of this journey, and we trust Him to bring it to completion. As Scripture reminds us,

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

Philippians 1:6

If you feel connected to Israel and believe in strengthening the Body of Messiah here on the ground, we invite you to stand with us in this final stretch. Your partnership helps ensure that evangelism is followed by discipleship, that responses are nurtured, and that lives are built on a strong foundation.

And if the Lord ever leads you to come and visit, you are warmly welcome. Come with your family, your group, or your congregation. Walk these halls with us, pray with us, and see firsthand what God is doing here.

Thank you for standing with Beit Hallel, for praying for Israel, and for walking with us in this season!

Blessings,
Pastor Israel

Irina’s Journey:
When Hunger Meets God’s Fire

Sometimes God meets people not at their strongest moment, but right in the middle of exhaustion. Not when life feels ordered and calm—but when responsibilities pile up, questions remain unanswered, and strength feels thin. Recently, a woman named Irina joined one of our discipleship courses. She is in her forties, has lived in Israel for […]

From Jerusalem: A Word of Prayer and Encouragement

As we write this, we are in Jerusalem—the city of the Great King. Jerusalem holds deep meaning for believers in Jesus. This is the city where He walked, taught, prayed, suffered, died, and rose again. The Gospel was first proclaimed here, and from this place the message of salvation went out to the nations. Being […]

At the heart of our faith is a simple but demanding call: to love with compassion, responsibility, and practical care.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
