Preparing for Revival:
Help Us Renovate Beit Hallel’s New Evangelism & Discipleship Center

We’re incredibly thankful and excited to share what God has done!

After years of prayer and faithful ministry here in Ashdod, Beit Hallel Congregation has received a building—a space that will soon become our new Evangelism and Discipleship Center. It’s something we’ve hoped and believed for, and now by God’s grace—and the support of friends like you—it’s in our hands.

Right now, it’s just an empty shell. Bare walls, concrete floors, and a lot of work ahead. But we see the potential—and we know what this space is meant to be.

This center will become a place where:

• Israelis hear the message of Yeshua, some for the very first time
• New believers grow in their faith and get equipped for everyday life
• Worship and prayer happen not just on weekends, but throughout the week
• Kids and youth learn what it means to follow God
• Conferences, gatherings, and training sessions help build strong, grounded leaders
• Ministry workers are raised up and sent out to serve across Israel

This isn’t just another church building. It’s going to be a working hub for outreach, discipleship, and meaningful ministry. A place where people meet God, grow together, and step out to make a difference.

We believe it’s part of what God is doing in Israel right now—drawing people to Himself and preparing the ground for what’s ahead. As it says in Ezekiel:

“I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel.”

Ezekiel 39:29

But before this center can serve its purpose, we need to get it ready.

We’re about to begin renovations, which include:

• Full electrical installation and lighting
• Drywall and partitions to create classrooms and ministry rooms
• A central air conditioning system (a must in the Israeli heat!)
• Sound and video systems for gatherings, worship, and teaching

It’s a big project—but we’re moving forward in faith. And we’re inviting you to be part of it.

If you believe in what God is doing in Israel, would you consider giving toward this next step?

There’s no pressure—just an honest ask. Whether it’s a little or a lot, whatever you give makes a difference. Together, we can turn this empty space into something that will serve people for years to come.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for caring about the Gospel in Israel. And thank you for helping us build something lasting.

With love and appreciation,

Pastor Israel Pochtar

Back to School in Israel:
Restoring Dignity to Our Children

In just a few weeks, the school year will begin again across Israel. Children will fill classrooms with laughter, sharpened pencils, and backpacks slung over their shoulders. But for hundreds of children from struggling families, this hopeful moment is clouded by anxiety, uncertainty—and a painful sense of not belonging. At Beit Hallel Congregation, we see […]

Mark’s Story —
Where Pain Met the Presence of God

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 Not every miracle happens in a church service or on a big stage. Sometimes, God shows up quietly—in a small apartment, on an ordinary day, with no lights or microphones. Just love. Just presence. Just Him. That’s what […]

Summer for God:
Israeli Youth Discipleship for a Resilient Generation

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 Something powerful is stirring in the hearts of Israel’s youth—and we’ve had the joy of witnessing it firsthand. This past week, during Summer […]

Room for One More Table:
Sharing the Joy of Sukkot

Long before Sukkot came with supermarket lists and holiday shopping, Scripture called it the Feast of Ingathering. It came when the harvest had been gathered from the fields—when people could look at what God had provided and bring it home. There is something about that picture that feels especially close to us this year. In […]

The Invitation Still Stands:
Bringing Israelis to the Galilee

Sukkot is hard to miss in Israel. Suddenly balconies become little temporary homes with built tabernacles, children carry decorations, and sukkot begin appearing everywhere—in gardens, outside apartment buildings, and even squeezed into places where you wonder how anyone managed to build one. For a week, an ancient biblical Feast becomes part of ordinary Israeli life […]

“I Feel As If I’ve Been Born Again”

There are some testimonies that arrive as one dramatic miracle. Irina’s was unfolding differently. She was noticing the change little by little—in her thoughts, in her words, in the peace she was carrying. And now her family was noticing too. The fear and anxiety that had followed her for so long were quieter. Even the […]

When Yeshua Stood Up at the Feast of Tabernacles

Every year when Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, comes around, I find myself returning to John 7. Maybe it is because we live here, in the land where these biblical feasts are still part of the rhythm of life. You see families putting up their sukkot—the temporary booths or tabernacles used during the feast—you feel […]

Yom Kippur —
Once a Year, Once for All

There was one day each year when the high priest of Israel could enter the Temple and go where no one else could go. On Yom Kippur—the Day of Atonement—he passed beyond the veil and entered the Most Holy Place, carrying sacrificial blood into the presence of God. Outside, the people waited. Inside, the high […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
Ani Imcha (אֲנִי עִמְּךָ) —
I Am With You

There is something about facing a difficult situation alone that makes it feel even heavier. The problem may still be the same, but when someone you trust is standing beside you, it changes the way you face it. You know that whatever happens, you do not have to carry it by yourself. This week’s Hebrew […]
