Year-End Appeal:
Help Us Finish the Evangelism & Discipleship Center in Ashdod

As this year comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on everything God has done and everything you have helped make possible. When I look at how far we have come, I can only say: Only God could have done this — and yet He chose to do it through you.

This year, the Lord placed an extraordinary gift into our hands: a new building that will soon become our Evangelism & Discipleship Center here in Ashdod. It will be a place of salvation, discipleship, worship, prayer, healing, and restoration — a spiritual lighthouse right in the heart of our city. In the video, I shared these words, and I want to repeat them again because they remain true:

“God blessed us with this new facility… but we couldn’t do it alone. We couldn’t do it without you.”

Every wall that goes up, every room we prepare, every step forward — all of it is happening because you have believed in the vision God entrusted to us for Israel.

A Home Where Lives Will Be Changed

As we prepare this Center, I constantly think about the Israeli lives that will be touched within its walls. This is not just another building — it is a place where new believers will be discipled and rooted in the Word, where evangelism courses will equip Israelis to share the Gospel, where Bible classes will raise up future leaders, and where prayer and worship will saturate the atmosphere.

Now, as we enter the next phase of construction and renovation, we are moving from vision to reality.

But we cannot complete this Center without your help. Your generosity is shaping the discipleship classrooms, the worship and prayer spaces, the counseling and follow-up rooms, the ministry offices, and the auditorium where evangelism and worship nights will take place. Your prayers and support continue to cover every decision and every step, opening doors for thousands to encounter God.

A Final Invitation Before the Year Ends

As we close this year and prepare for the next, I want to invite you — if God touches your heart — to sow a year-end gift toward completing this Center so that we can open its doors as soon as possible.

Every seed matters.
Every prayer matters.
And every gift goes directly into building the Kingdom here in Israel.

My prayer is that in the coming year, this Center will be filled with evangelism, discipleship, worship, prayer, and lives transformed by the power of God — that Israel will be restored, and that Yeshua will be glorified through everything we build together.

From my heart to yours: thank you. We love you. And may the Lord bless you in the name of Yeshua.

With deep gratitude,

Pastor Israel Pochtar

A Season of Light in Jerusalem —
Sharing the Gospel with 400 Israelis

There are moments in Israel when the spiritual atmosphere feels tender… open… expectant. Moments when the message of hope can break through in ways it couldn’t before.

A Testimony of Our Outreach to Holocaust Survivors

There are moments in ministry when we sense that we are standing on holy ground — moments when God entrusts us with hearts that have carried pain deeper than words can describe. One of those moments happened recently, when Beit Hallel’s follow-up team had the privilege of serving a small group of Holocaust survivors from […]

A Miracle in the Shadow of October 7

Two years have passed since that black Saturday, yet the air in Nahal Oz still carries a weight no community should ever know. October 7 is no longer just a date — it is a scar on the soul of a nation. The largest massacre since the Holocaust.  A morning when homes became battlefields and […]

“We felt strongly that we owed a debt of gratitude to Israel and the Jewish people.” “For if the gentiles have been given a share in their spiritual possessions, then in return to give them help with material possessions is repaying a debt to them.” Romans 15:27 We wanted to connect directly with our Brothers […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:

We live in a world where so much can change without warning. Plans change, circumstances change, people change, and sometimes things we thought were secure suddenly become uncertain.

For more than three thousand years, kingdoms have fought over her, nations have watched […]

Praying for you from Biblical Jaffa:
God still has the final Word

Shalom from Jaffa—biblical Joppa, one of the ancient cities of Israel and a place where remarkable events recorded in Scripture unfolded. As I stand here today, I am praying for you. I may not know exactly what you are facing as you read these words, what situation you have been bringing before the Lord, or what has […]

The beginning they didn’t expect
Finding new life in Israel

Anna had only recently made Aliyah with her three children. As a single mother, she was beginning again in Israel with a 20-year-old son and two daughters, sixteen and five—new surroundings, a new rhythm of life, and so much still uncertain. Then, during one of our recent times together with new Olim, our team began […]

How will they hear?
Bringing the gospel within reach

There are Israelis who have lived their entire lives in the land of the Bible and have never once heard the Gospel clearly explained to them. They know the names of Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets. They walk the same land where Yeshua lived and ministered. Many know His name—but know Him only as the […]
