The Holy Spirit Is Moving In Israel

01 Jan 1970

Our first trip to Israel was 54 years ago with Derek and Lydia Prince. Since then, from the world’s perspective, Israel has become a significant leader in many world markets. Tourism is booming, hotels are crowded, and tour sites are full of buses and often with waiting lines to enter. But, where is the Holy Spirit moving in the culture?

I was greatly encouraged in talking recently with a few Israeli friends. A young man of 35, assisted by a friend of 15 years, is leading two home groups near Tel Aviv. They then go out at night to the busiest area of Tel Aviv and speak of the Messiah on the street.

Also, a well-known pastor in Jerusalem is hosting a meeting every other week to teach the Bible to 18-40 year-olds. The group is presently attended by 40-120 Israelis.

A prominent Jerusalem artist, whom we have known for more than 25 years, is watching Derek Prince on YouTube.

And our outreach in Israel continues. We are translating and publishing Derek Prince's materials in Hebrew: including books, CD's and DVDs. The need for solid teaching in Israel is great, for the Messianic church here is young and has great spiritual needs. We are equipping leaders and Israeli youth by developing and promoting the Hebrew/English mobile App, which includes the entire Bible, with links throughout to Derek’s teaching, along with daily devotionals in print and audio, and a yearly reading plan. And we strengthen our online presence on social media by making uploading Derek’s teaching on social channels and engaging with new generations of Jewish seekers and new believers.
