The Journey so Far

Celebrating 18 Years at Beit Hallel

When God stopped me in my tracks 18 years ago and clearly told me He was calling me to start a Hebrew speaking congregation in Ashdod, little did I know that over the years God will build it into something far greater than I could ever have imagined.

Biblical Ashdod is mentioned many times in the Bible, there’s great history in this city, but what drew me the most was the prophetic future God outlined and showed me that this city holds.

Zechariah 9:6-7 speaks about the future of Ashdod, and that scripture became the driving force behind our vision.

…But he who remains (in Ashdod), even he shall be for our God, And shall be like a leader in Judah.

Zechariah 12 also speaks about the upcoming revival in Ashdod, as well as other cities of Judea.

That Word was the building block of our work ever since. Just seeing what the Lord has done over the past 18 years, how many lives He touched and changed, thousands touched by the gospel, growing Beit Hallel into one of the biggest congregations in Israel currently.

Thinking of the future fills us with excitement! God’s glory is only growing, as we make Yeshua known to the nation of Israel.

Watch this powerful message from pastor Israel about Beit Hallel’s humble beginnings to growing into one of the largest most dynamic Hebrew speaking congregations in Israel, as well as what the future holds as we move forward, building on the solid foundation — our Lord and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah!

Thank you for being a part of our journey and for many more amazing years to come.

Remaining Faithful to our Vision

Reaching Israel with the Gospel We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Beit Hallel’s 18th anniversary than by organizing a special evangelism outreach celebration in Jerusalem — the city where the Great Commission was first given.  Trying to stay faithful to the vision the Lord gave us almost two decades ago, we firmly […]

The Transformative Power of Love

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. In Hebrew, this biblical feast is called Yom Teruah—the Day of the Shofar Blast, or the Day of Trumpet […]

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 […]

“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 […]

When God Leads You Somewhere New —
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 […]
