Two thousand years ago, the shores of the Galilee were filled with the sound of Yeshua’s voice. Here He called His disciples, taught the crowds, healed the sick and entered the everyday lives of ordinary people. These waters carried Him and His disciples from village to village, and these hills became the setting for some of the most familiar words and moments in the Gospel.
Today, those same shores are part of everyday Israel.
Israelis drive these roads, visit these places and sail these waters, yet many have never heard clearly about the Jewish Messiah whose ministry unfolded here. This fall, as Israel enters the season of Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot, we are preparing to bring hundreds of Israelis to the Galilee—not simply to visit biblical places, but to spend a day in which those places can become the beginning of conversations about Yeshua.
Our guests will travel north together by bus, visit biblical sites, share meals and sail on the Sea of Galilee. For many, it will simply sound like an opportunity for a beautiful day away. And that is part of what makes this kind of outreach so meaningful. We have learned that some of the deepest conversations do not begin inside a formal meeting. They begin on a bus, across a table, while walking through a biblical place or when someone asks a question because something they have just seen has awakened their curiosity.
Our team will be there throughout the day—not only organizing an event, but walking alongside people.
We will listen to their stories, share our testimonies, open the Scriptures and speak naturally about what Yeshua has done in our own lives. Then, after a day of building relationships, everyone will come together for the central purpose of the outreach: a clear presentation of the Gospel and an invitation to consider Yeshua personally.
There is something especially meaningful about doing this in the Galilee. The Gospel that eventually went from Israel to the nations was first proclaimed here among the Jewish people. Now believers around the world know the name of Yeshua, while so many of His own people living in the land where He walked have never truly heard His story.
Paul wrote,
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved”
Romans 10:1
That longing remains very real today. And through Voice of Judah Israel, believers from the nations have an opportunity to stand with those sharing the Good News here in the land of Israel.
The complete cost of bringing one Israeli for this full-day outreach is approximately $100. This includes transportation to the Galilee, meals, visits to biblical places, the Sea of Galilee boat trip, and the venue and expenses of the evangelistic gathering. But we do not want anyone to feel that $100 is the only way to participate. Every gift can become part of bringing someone.
$25 — Help Bring Someone to the Galilee
Give toward the overall cost of one Israeli’s day.
$50 — Provide Half a Place
Join with another partner to make one complete place possible.
$100 — Bring One Israeli
Provide the complete evangelistic experience for one person.
$500 — Bring Five Israelis
Make it possible for five people to join the entire day.
And if you would like to give less than $25, your gift matters too. Several smaller gifts can come together to provide one complete place. Behind every amount is ultimately the same thing: a person who will spend a day among believers, hear testimonies, encounter the Scriptures and be given an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Yeshua.
We cannot know beforehand what will happen in every conversation. We do not know who will ask an unexpected question on the bus, who will be moved while standing beside the Sea of Galilee, or who will continue thinking about what they heard long after returning home. Our responsibility is simply to make the opportunity possible, faithfully share the Gospel and trust God with every heart.
As Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot approach, hundreds of Israelis are preparing to come with us to the Galilee. Perhaps one of them will be there because you helped make room.
Will you help bring one more Israeli to the shores where Yeshua walked—and give them the opportunity to hear about the One who walked there?
