Key Scriptures
“For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.”
Ezekiel 36:24-28
The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.
And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?"
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know."
Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord." ' "
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live." ' " So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, 'Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!' Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it," says the Lord.' "
Ezekiel 37:1-14
Jesus’ original name in Hebrew is “Yeshua,” which means “salvation.” God said that even His name is a promise of the salvation of Israel:
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21
“I will leave in your midst a humble and lowly people, and they shall take refuge in the name of the Lord. The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.”
Zephaniah 3:12-13
“In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered.”
Zechariah 13:1-2a

Israel doesn’t deserve God’s help, but when believers pray, He has miraculously delivered them. Once, three Israelis were facing 100 enemy soldiers, and what God did next sounds like it came straight out of the Bible.
Many new believers in Israel still haven’t become true disciples. Our vision is that, like Jesus’ first discipleship team, new groups will be established to equip them to fulfill their calling and change the world.
The intense opposition to the Gospel on the streets of Israel is giving way to openness and even curiosity. For example, Maya, who initially rejected the Gospel and walked away, suddenly turned around and turned to God.
Millions of seeds have been sown through online evangelism in Israel, reaching even the unreachable like Anna. We shared the Gospel in her religious community, but had to flee because of persecution. Yet God still broke through.
Did you know that Arabs will play a crucial role in the coming revival in Israel? God wants to supernaturally intervene in their lives, like He did in Aisha’s, who was in the middle of a suicide attempt. Join us in prayer!
