“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 1:11
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.
From Vision to Reality
This Center is becoming a reality, thanks to your partnership, and we’re excited to see how God will use it for His Glory. However, there is still so much work that needs done before the doors can open. We need your help to breathe life into the empty spaces. This is not just another building — it’s a place where new believers will be discipled and rooted in the Word, where evangelism courses will equip Israelis share the Gospel, where Bible classes will raise up future leaders, and where prayer and worship will saturate the atmosphere.
Just think about the many Israeli lives that will be touched within its walls.
It is my sincerest desire to see all my brothers and sisters know Yeshua, our Messiah. Will you join me in bringing this vision to life?
Stand and Believe!
My prayer for the coming new year is that this center will be filled with evangelism, discipleship, worship, prayer, and lives will be transformed by the power of God. Believe with me friends…believe this is the year that Israel will begin to be restored, and that Yeshua will be glorified through everything we build together. When we walk in faith as one, standing and believing together, miracles begin to happen!
I want to invite you to sow a year-end gift toward completing this space 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. Now is the time and this is the hour!
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
