Millions of Christians around the world love Israel. They pray for its peace, follow what is happening in the country, and believe that God’s promises to the Jewish people remain as important today as they were when the prophets first spoke them.
But there is another question worth asking. Beyond our prayers and expressions of support, how can we make a personal difference in the lives of the Jewish people today?
For us at Voice of Judah Israel, part of the answer lies in helping Israelis discover the One who stands at the center of the Scriptures we love so dearly: Jesus, their Jewish Messiah.
This November, an opportunity to do exactly that is bringing Christians from different nations together with local Israeli believers for four days of prayer, discipleship, and personal evangelism.
It’s called The Good News Project, and we would love for you to be part of it.
A Shared Love for Israel, a Shared Desire to Make Jesus Known
From November 3–6, our ministry partners at Beit Hallel Congregation will welcome Christians from abroad to join their Israeli teams in sharing the Gospel across Ashdod, Ashkelon, Jerusalem, and other communities.
The idea is simple. Rather than gathering only to talk about reaching Israel, these believers will spend time preparing together and then go out to meet Israelis in the places where they live, work, shop, and spend their everyday lives.
They will open the Scriptures, answer questions, share personal testimonies, and introduce people to the message of Jesus with kindness and respect.
For some Israelis, it may be the first time they have had an opportunity to speak personally with someone who believes that Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah.
And that opportunity matters.
Many Christians have grown up hearing about Jesus from childhood. His name is familiar, His teachings are part of their spiritual foundation, and the Gospel is something they have heard countless times.
But we cannot assume that everyone has had the same opportunity to hear and consider His message.
The Apostle Paul understood the importance of making the Gospel known when he asked in Romans 10:14:
“And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?”
That question is one of the reasons The Good News Project is so important.
Sometimes Everything Begins With a Conversation
Imagine an ordinary afternoon in an Israeli city. People are hurrying to appointments, shopping for groceries, meeting friends, or simply making their way home.
Among them are people carrying the same concerns we all know so well. Questions about their families, their future, their struggles, and the purpose of life.
Now imagine someone taking the time to stop, listen, and begin a conversation about faith.
It might start with a question about the Bible. Perhaps someone is curious about what Christians believe concerning the Messiah. Another person may be willing to listen to a personal testimony about how Jesus changed someone’s life.
No two conversations will be alike, and there is no way to predict how someone will respond.
But our ministry partners have seen through years of outreach that even a brief encounter can create an opportunity for something more.
A person may ask to meet again. Someone else may want to explore a passage of Scripture. Another may simply go home thinking about something they had never considered before.
These are the moments The Good News Project hopes to create.
Preparing Believers for the Work Beyond the Event
One of the things we appreciate about Beit Hallel’s approach to evangelism is the importance they place on discipleship.
Sharing the Gospel is not simply about knowing what to say. It also requires understanding the Scriptures, learning to listen, and communicating with genuine love for the person standing in front of you.
That is why The Good News Project will include time for biblical teaching, prayer, encouragement, and practical preparation before participants go out into the streets.
Israeli and international believers will learn and serve together, bringing their different experiences and backgrounds into a shared mission.
And when the four days are over, the work will not simply come to an end.
The visiting Christians will return to their home countries, but Beit Hallel’s local believers will remain in Israel. They will continue building relationships, meeting with people who want to learn more, studying the Scriptures, and helping those who come to faith grow as disciples of Jesus.
That ongoing presence is one of the reasons Voice of Judah Israel values its partnership with local Israeli ministries.
We want to help create opportunities for people to hear the Gospel, but we also want those who respond to have someone nearby who can continue walking alongside them.
The Jewish Roots of Our Faith and the Promise That Still Matters
There is another reason this project carries special meaning for Christians who love Israel.
Our faith did not begin in Rome, London, or America. Jesus was born into the Jewish people, His first disciples were Jewish, and the Gospel first began spreading from Jerusalem.
As the message reached the nations, Gentile believers became part of a remarkable spiritual family.
In Romans 11, Paul describes this relationship through the picture of an olive tree. Gentile believers have been grafted into the cultivated tree, sharing in the richness of God’s promises, while being reminded that God has not rejected His people.
It is a beautiful picture of God’s faithfulness, and it gives us a reason to approach Israel with gratitude, humility, and love.
Paul also writes in Romans 11:26:
“And so all Israel will be saved.”
For those of us who believe in God’s continuing purposes for the Jewish people, this is a promise that inspires both prayer and action.
And there is something especially meaningful about Christians from the nations now joining Jewish believers in Israel to share the Gospel in the very land where Jesus first sent His disciples into the world.
The Good News Project is one practical expression of that relationship.
You May Be Far From Israel, but You Can Still Be Part of This
Most of us will not be walking the streets of Ashdod, Ashkelon, or Jerusalem this November. We have families, jobs, responsibilities, and commitments that keep us where we are.
But distance does not prevent us from participating in the work God is doing through our brothers and sisters in Israel.
We can pray for them. We can encourage them. And we can help provide the resources they need to carry out the work.
As Beit Hallel prepares for November 3–6, we invite you to stand alongside these teams in two important ways.
Please pray for the Israeli believers and the Christians traveling from abroad. Pray for their unity, safety, and wisdom as they prepare and travel between cities. Ask the Lord to guide their conversations and help them share the Gospel with courage, compassion, and respect.
And please consider making a financial gift toward The Good News Project.
Your generosity will help our ministry partners prepare the participants, coordinate the evangelistic activities, and cover the practical needs involved in reaching people across several Israeli cities.
Would you help make it possible for more Israelis to hear the Good News of Jesus this November?
When you give, you are doing more than helping organize four days of outreach. You are supporting opportunities for conversations that may continue long after the visiting teams have returned home.
You are also strengthening the work of local believers who remain committed to sharing Jesus with their own communities throughout the year.
There is something deeply encouraging about Christians in America standing alongside believers in Israel in this way. We may live in different countries and speak different languages, but we share the same faith and the same desire for people to know the Lord.
And perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about The Good News Project.
The Gospel that first went out from Jerusalem continues to unite believers across the nations. Now, through this partnership, those believers have an opportunity to help bring that same message to another generation of Jewish people.
Our love for Israel is more than something we speak about. It is something we can put into action, one person, one conversation, and one opportunity to share Jesus at a time.
