Pushing Onwards and Upwards with the first Christian-Owned Building in Ashdod!

As you can see from the video above, God is doing something really special in the preparation of our new sanctuary here in Ashdod, Israel. It is rapidly taking shape before our eyes, and we can barely contain our excitement at the prospect of hosting hundreds of Israeli believers for our Shabbat services, training and leadership seminars, conferences, and humanitarian projects in this new space!

As the scripture so rightly states in Psalms 127:1, “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it.

The seed for the first-ever Christian building here in Ashdod, Israel, was planted by the Lord, watered by the Lord, and raised up by the Lord. We are merely His hands and feet preparing the way for the Lord. God is moving in Israel and revival is in the making. Small fires are flickering up all across Israel, and the laborers are being sent out into the fields.

This new sanctuary will serve as both a place of worship for hundreds of Israelis every week, as well as a revival center where Israeli believers and the youth will be discipled, leaders and ministers will be raised up, and from which new congregations will be pioneered! Even though it’s a building of stone and wood, the true strength of the sanctuary lies in what God is investing in its prophetic future.

We are currently finalizing the construction of the front stage and the rigging while installing acoustic panels all around the hall. The next stage of our renovations will entail installing the windows we ordered and starting work on the ceiling regarding wiring, air-conditioning, lighting, and ceiling tiles.

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us and sowing a seed of ANY AMOUNT towards preparing this habitation for the Lord in Ashdod, Israel? Let’s join hands as One New Man in Christ and usher in revival in Israel!
