Our Ministry
Our ultimate desire is to show
that Jesus is the Promised Messiah and that He has provided the way
whereby mankind can be reconciled to God and to each other.
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP
We believe evangelism in the Holy Land
will only be as effective as the maturity of the believers living
there. To that end, we desire to see effective discipleship.
Light to Israel
raises and provides regular support to individuals doing effective
ministry in Israel. Our leadership team believes that
sometimes it is best to support those already doing ministry instead
of sending someone who needs to learn the language and culture
before they can effectively minister to the people. Often
those who are doing effective work are hindered by the lack of funds
and resources to do the work. This results in much time spent
in deputation away from the ministry as there are few Christians in
Israel to support missionary work. Our desire is to come along
side of these special servants of the Lord already in the land to
support the work God has led them to do.
One of our "supported" team staff is ministering among Russian Jews
who have recently immigrated to the Land. Another has
developed a program teaching English as a second language.
Our ministry efforts do not end there, and our
work is not limited to the Holy Land. Our goal is to make
disciples who show forth the love of Jesus wherever we are.
For example, one of our
leadership team has a burden to train believing men to be Godly men
and one of our U.S. team pastors a Messianic congregation in Chicago
and conducts several outreach Bible studies.

PROJECTS
WE SUPPORT
For many in the Holy Land, one reality of life is the lack of
everyday necessities, such as food and clothing. Ministry projects
provide a tangible way to show the love of Jesus through relief and
social service projects. We work through established ministries
already in place in the Holy Land to provide this help.
"LIGHT TO ISRAEL" TOURS
A tour to Israel with a difference - not only will you see the land but you
will have an opportunity to do a service project.
Light to Israel provides a way for Christians, through practical
hands-on service, to help those in need in Israel. Those
going will have to bring their "grubbys" because they may be doing some
minor repairs on a widow's apartment and then finish up by giving the
apartment a new paint job. Others may be doing repairs on an old
building leased by a group doing ministry in the land. Others may even
help a local ministry reach out to the poor of the Holy Land.

Often we receive requests to help
needy folks in Israel and the West Bank. These are not long-term
assistance requests but requests to help people through an immediate
need. Past needs include: Helping to pay the hospital bills
for a Palestinian child needing heart surgery.... a Christian Lebanese family had just entered Israel with
only the clothes on their backs escaping possible death at the hands
of extremists in their homeland.... a single Israeli women discovered she
was
pregnant. She had no place to live as her parents have disowned her
and she was unemployed.
We have set up a special fund to provide
assistance using our network of ministries to channel the help.
You can help us show the love of
Jesus to these needy people.
"Yes, I want to help.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Through our educational programs
Light to Israel
provides speakers, literature and other resources to help the church
understand God's concern for the peoples of the Middle East. We
believe as Christians understand the heritage of our faith and the
prophetic future of the Middle East, they will be moved to help and
truly engage with the people in that part of the world. The staff of
Light to Israel is available to bring special messages on
prophecy and the Jewish roots of our faith.
