Now There Arose\
-a Christian Generation
who did not know
the Israel of God
The sad fact is, we have a huge swath of our younger Christian generations who have made moral choices in line with their peer group rather than based on God's Word. If any faith publication captured the essence of this it is Relevant Magazine and the generations they serve. Relevant was created by the son of the major figure at Charisma Magazine, and perhaps captures the same rebellion of their generation against the fathers' beliefs. Relevant is a departure from God's Word to follow more 'relevant' peer morality of social issues.
Please note: I am not singling out Charisma and Relevant magazines to pick on them, they just provide a handy frame of identifying reference that is rampant throughout all the streams of Western Christian generational divides.
A major issue, I believe, for the departure from the Charisma generation by the Relevant generation, is that Charisma has to take hold of the significance to God of the growing body of the Lord in Israel. Charisma has always been pro-Israel, but it has not fully embraced the body of the Lord in Israel, instead preferring the Christian ministries who do outreach in order to court rabbis and politicos in Israel. They cling to connecting with UNsaved Israel at the expense of saved Israel.
The Relevant generation fully rejects modern Israel as significant to God at all. Their Christian fathers have an "Israel does no wrong" view as far as the Relevant Christian generation are concerned. And so have rebelled to the point of becoming pro-Palestinian are embracing the lies of terrorist spin. (Yes, Christ at the Crossroads figures call themselves Christians but they have rejected God's Word on the matter, while receiving the terrorists' narratives about the Palestinian right to the land of Israel.)
In my view, the Charisma generation fathers' views on Israel has created the fully rebellious Relevant generation leading them to confuse who is David and who is Goliath in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts for the past 77 years.
The Charisma generation by not deepening in God's Word that declares HIS plan for Israel, has led the 'Relevant' generation to see Israel as the problem, therefore embracing the pro-Palestinian narratives and goals. They have become even more spiritually blind than their fathers who love Israel, but fail to support the REAL plan of God to bring Israelis to faith through the BODY of the LORD IN ISRAEL.
The Relevant Christian generation is steeped in Palestinian (terrorist) narratives. Believing lies they cannot even see the terrorist goal is not a "2 state solution' but a complete eradication of Jews from Israel. If you do not understand that the Palestinian people have been led by terrorists from the beginning (Arafat) and ever since (Hamas, the Palestinian Authority) you will not understand that the majority of Palestinians also are under the sway of terrorist indoctrination. You will defend them as innocents rather than pray for God to break the terrorist lies that hold them in the path to hell!
Because the Charisma fathers' have failed to go on in embracing God's plan (Eph 2:15) to join Christians and saved Israel together as one new man in the faith of His Son, they have discouraged younger generations to believe we have any idea what morality truly is. So the Relevant Christian generation pursue their own peer morality on the issue of Israel (humanistic morality), and in addressing all other social issues like homosexuality, racial, equality of sexes.
I keep seeing the analysis of Christians who study the differences in Christian generations saying that it is because the Relevant generation want to make an impact difference on their world – not unlike the 1960’s Peace Corps was seen to be. For the Relevant generations, this is why younger Christians have backed Black Lives Matter, feminist views of equality and justice, or even the pro-Palestinian stance. All of these humanistic campaigns inevitably have descended into violence and other evils because they are not based on God's Word, they are based on moving target of humanistic morality.
Once God's Word is rejected as the ultimate word on any subject, spiritual error can only increase. Hosea 4:6 was not a word exclusively for Israel in the day Hosea spoke it. It is a word for the Charisma and Relevant generations. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children."
Some may think I place too much priority on Christians awakening to God's plan for the restoration of Israel, but if we do not get that right, our blindness will lead us down a darker and darker path away from what God is doing among all His people at this time in the latter days.
FYI to all Christians: It is not necessary for Israel to welcome international Christians to do evangelism tourism. That is not going to happen because that is not God's plan on how He will restore Israel spiritually! What is necessary is for international Christians to support the Israeli Messianic Ministries, 200+ Messianic congregations, and upwards of 20,000 Israeli Messianic Jewish believers in reaching their own nation with the love and of Yeshua.
You believe it must be Christians who bring the Good News of Salvation to Israel, but that is not the right understanding. To "make Israel jealous" you must embrace the Israeli body of the Messiah, praying for them and aiding them financially to fulfill ~their~ mandate from God to bear witness to the salvation of Yeshua/Jesus. And if you feel youmust go to Israel yourself to feel a part of Israel's restoration, go as a volunteer to the Messianic ministries who can put you to work short term helping them minister to their people with humanitarian aid and other practical things. Go to be a living testimony, not just a verbal witness.
Israelis need to hear from their fellow Israelis who are walking in the same extremely challenging life in Israel as them. NOW is the time to wake up from this blindness to God's plan to restore Israel spiritually!

Summarized from the Weekly Summary of
Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries
Avi Mizrachi of Dugit Messianic
Outreach writes, “The
Lord is Calling Us into the Streets: The time has come to reach out like never
before! If you
have ever been to Israel, I hope you did more than see the biblical sites. I hope you felt the heartbeat of
this land—its
people. When my wife Chaya and I founded Dugit Outreach Ministries more
than thirty-five years ago, it was the people of Israel who captivated our
hearts.
That love has only deepened over the years, stirring in us a greater longing to see
lives transformed and hope restored. While Israel was chosen to be a
light to the nations, many still have yet to discover the joy of knowing
that their Messiah has already come ….When I first became a believer in
Yeshua, the Lord made it clear to me:
“Go back to your people. Tell them about the
Messiah.” That calling birthed this ministry—to proclaim the Good News and to be the Good News to the lost and
hurting in Israel. In our early days, we launched a coffee house and planted a
local congregation. But we also went out—into the streets, the parks,
the marketplaces—sharing our testimonies, praying for strangers, loving
people tangibly…. we
encountered need after need, our mission grew. That is how the Distribution Center was born—to meet
the practical needs of struggling families and the homeless.
Then
came October 7, 2023…. now the Lord has begun speaking to my heart that we are to press into the streets, to go into the highways
and the byways. To
expand our street ministry like never before. To go to the lost, the hurting,
and the broken. To share the Good News of
Yeshua day and night beyond our walls. Would
you stand with us as we rise in faith to answer this call?
We
must spread the Good News of Messiah and go out after more hearts for Yeshua.
But we cannot neglect the many urgent needs God has also called us to meet. So,
we need your prayers, and your help. Will you sow into this ministry to help us reach the people of
Israel by giving your best gift today?
In Ashdod, Pastor Israel Pochtar of Beit
Hallel writes, “Life in Israel right now is anything but ordinary—but in the middle of it all, we’re
seeing God’s hand at work in incredible ways. At Beit Hallel, people are coming to faith in Yeshua …. here in the heart of Ashdod,
something really special is happening at our
new Evangelism and Discipleship Center…. what’s taking shape is so much more than
just a building—it’s
a place where lives are going to be changed forever. We’re not just fixing up an old space. We’re creating a spiritual home—a place where worship will rise to
heaven like a fragrant offering, where people will be taught how to follow
Yeshua with their whole hearts, and where the Good News will be shared boldly
in Ashdod and far beyond across Israel.
The Ripple Effect of Kindness Over and over again,
we witness the same beautiful pattern: the very people who once came to us in
need become the ones who now reach out to help others. It’s the ripple effect
of love—touching hearts, inspiring generosity, and weaving lives together in
ways that will last for eternity. Read more

There is a beautiful report in from Fields
of Wheat from Katzir Youth Camp director Joel Jelski about the summer camp
just passed. The theme of this camp was based on DT 6:5 to love “God with all your heart, soul, and
strength.” They hosted 90 teens and 30 young adult counselors &
volunteers – all of whom are included in the camp leaders vision to spiritually
invest in spiritual equipping for the Lord’s harvest. There was special time
given pre-camp for the counselors & volunteers – fun, fellowship and
ministry time just as is poured out on the teens attending the camp. “One
of the highlights of the camp was volunteering in a local farmer’s fields, helping clear out weeds and bushes that
had overgrown and spread after two years of war—untended, due to the demand for reserve soldiers. The farmer and our team leaders were
amazed at the progress our group made in just 3 hours of volunteer work.” Watch
this short highlight video
of the camp.
But
something unexpected happened at the camp that underscored a deep spiritual
message to all. Joel’s father died on the night
before the youth were to arrive to camp and would be buried
according to Jewish custom within a day. Joel and his dad had been estranged
for many years, and his father kept distance that Joel hoped to reconcile. Joel
wrote, “Eitan
(Shishkoff) knew my dad from our shared history in Haifa in the 90’s, and he
has known our family for decades. Half of my family was also serving at
the camp with me. So we took Sunday to grieve and to share our hearts as
a family. Then, we went right back to the camp to continue serving the
youth. . . .On Wednesday, I shared with the teens very openly about some of
my story with my dad—my journey from
hatred and bitterness to the freedom God brought into my own heart (at a Katzir
camp when I was a teen). I wanted them to know how it’s been to walk
out forgiveness, even when there isn’t change or repentance on the other side
of the relationship. I know from the feedback of the teens and leaders that
many teens were really touched by my testimony and it helped them with their
own challenging life experiences. If there is one bright side to any of this, it is to
see God take some of my own story of brokenness and pain, and use it to bring
freedom to others who need it.” That
is the heart of ministry.
Sharing some the comments from the
teens post-camp, Joel writes, “Even now
as I re-read these powerful, touching words from our youth, I want to thank you
for all your prayers for our camp. The fruit that we see in camp
after camp, year after year, has much to do with your faithful prayers and
financial gifts on behalf of these young people. Truly, we couldn’t do any of it without you!”

HOPE: House of Prayer & Exploits in
Nazareth is led by a Christian Arab prophetic intercessor named Rania Sayegh.
She is very much a “one new man” Christian Arab ministering to Christian Arab
women in Israel and also in other nations in the Middle East. She is also in
relationship with her Israeli Messianic Jewish ministry counterparts who hold a
high regard for her and the Arab Deborah’s Arising conferences she holds. This
month Rania is sharing a VISION of the Crown and
the Royal Arab Kingdoms “a
vision received in Dubai of the seven royal Arab kingdoms and their role in His
end-time purposes. As you read, will
you join us in asking the Lord to align these nations with His heart and release His light across the
region?” Also: Middle East War Update | Prayer Points: 2025

Middle East and the nations. Every prayer watch, every worship set, every
song declares Jesus is worthy—and in this season, God is calling us to amplify that sound. Here’s how we’re building right now:

Chaim Malespin, Aliyah Return Center & The Faithful Galileans writes of the skeletal
hostage who was being forced to dig his own grave by Hamas terrorists and sends
this VIDEO I sat down with Evytar’s cousin. “In this raw conversation, Matan shares: What daily life is like for
hostage families and Why media attention and public pressure matter.”
Chaim also writes about “Truth in an Age of Propagnada | VIDEO: The $500M Cyber Empire You've Never Head Of | While there has been a physical
war, there has also been a cyberwar raging. “It has always been a
wonder to me why so many people are jumping on the bandwagon of pro-Hamas
propaganda when information is
literally available at the click of a button on their phones. Anyone can
look up what Zionism actually means, or what is meant by the phrase “from the
river to the sea,” and so on…. In a New York Times post, it said that Cyabra believes that one in four (26%) of all social media
profiles engaged in discussions about the conflict were fake. And
allegedly, Iran, Russia, China, and their proxies all participated in these coordinated
campaigns, which helped amplify Hamas’ narratives, while undermining Israel.
And clearly duping the West, especially the younger generation…. Also,
in the video above, I sat down with someone who has been fighting the cyber
war, whether against hackers or disinformation. His team has been working very
hard to combat the online scene to the best of their abilities. They themselves
have been warriors. So with all that said, I pray that we would all be
able to discern God’s will in all matters. And in that, the truth will set us
free!

Stefan Silver for Out of Zion ministries in the Mt Carmel
area also writes about how many are “Caught in Deception” even as Yeshua warned
us, “Watch
out that no one deceives you.” Stefan writes, “We
now live in a golden age of deception - where fake news, media manipulation and
political spin dominate daily headlines. Jesus’ warning is not just for a distant future - it is urgent
for believers today, especially regarding Israel, the land and people God is
restoring as a prerequisite for His second coming.
Recent
examples are everywhere: Two weeks ago, we addressed the “Gaza starvation” narrative that swept
the globe. Images of skeletal toddlers were plastered across front pages,
accusing Israel of “genocidal starvation.” In truth, the children shown were
born with severe chronic conditions, some genetic. Food, water and medicine
shortages in Gaza are largely caused by Hamas stealing supplies and reselling
them to their own people at exorbitant prices. Even after the outlets responsible retracted their reports, countless
people -including believers - clung to the lie. Watch that no one deceives
you.
… Meanwhile, with the war in Gaza grinding
on and “day after” negotiations stalling, world leaders are pushing the latest delusion - that creating
a Palestinian state will somehow bring peace, ending the war and
suffering all around…. recognizing a Palestinian state now is a grave mistake. It is a
reward for terror that will not solve the conflict or the underlying issues, it
will only complicate and make it worse.”
Here are Stefan’s wise words: "Deception
thrives when God’s people stop discerning and remain silent". For weekly

From Kobi & Shani Fergus for Maoz
Ministries Israel, “As
we march into the 2nd half of the year, we wanted to let you know we have been
very busy with all of the things the Lord is calling us to do…. We’ve
been seeing the Lord’s hand in such incredible ways lately. As we work to bring
aid and comfort to those affected by both the war with Hamas and the recent
12-day war with Iran, doors are opening like never before. For the first time, many Jewish people are open to
hearing about Yeshua and His love for His people. They’re discovering that there are millions
of Christians around the world not only praying for them but also providing
practical help—resources
that are making it possible for so many that are finding themselves having to
rebuild their lives. This is happening because of the support YOU send in faithfully…. Would
you prayerfully consider how you can help us bless Israelis? This could mean starting a monthly gift, increasing your current support, or
giving toward a specific project that’s close to your heart.
The monthly letter from Dan & Patty Juster and Ben and Lorena Juster is
pretty jam-packed with all they are doing and preparing to do – including prep
for the High Holiday season.
The just finished up with the Tikkun America Conference and are preparing for a
partnerwhip with Gateways Beyond (Matt
Rudolph) to facilitate a missions and ministry trip to Ethiopia, followed by an
optional 5 day trip to Israel. All of you are invited! April 30-May 9
for the Ethiopia trip and May 9-14 for the optional Israel portion. Space
will be limited, so sign up as soon as possible once the registration is
available. Ben also writes an appeal on behalf of the 4 Justers because “our funds in
the ministry account that supports Dan, Patty, Lorena and myself dipped below
the threshold we need to maintain to cover ongoing trips and living expenses.
When we travel, we typically do not receive reimbursements for travel, so
the donations are crucial for this work.”
Dan Juster writes that he is most
focused right now on the “Jerusalem
Bible Institute as we recruit full time students for our second year,
incorporate a part time program, and pray and communicate to meet the financial
challenges for the school. Your support enables my involvement at no cost to
the school. I still also am part of the core eldership team in our local congregation. Raising up more
leaders is my primary burden plus more of the power of God in sharing the Good
News.
While Patty shares about a prophetic
word that deeply impacted here years ago when “someone
wrote a song for me that deeply impacted me. It was more of a prophetic word
set to music and
told of a time when I would see the beauty of the bride.” I’m hoping someone
will post this somewhere so I can send you all a link, but if the Lord prompts
you, write to Ben at Restoration from
Zion and ask to be sent this August 2025 letter he sent out, or subscribe!

Reuven Doron sent a beautiful YoutTube worship song
Aug 12th but what he said about it was the thing that really knocked
me out! “An ancient Jewish
Prayer-Song was sung during an “awakening concert” as secular Israelis respond
to God’s presence.
This is the
harvest you are praying for. Israel has entered a “Pre-Revival Revival” |
This ancient Jewish prayer-song, “Ana Ve’Koach,” was written roughly 1,000
years ago by a Jewish poet….We pray this prayer-song is a blessing to your
heart as you
behold Israel’s true worship at the early stages of the national revival that
is unfolding here. This is the cry of the remnant of Israel who are
coming through the fire of this season. Thank you for partnering with God and
with us for the fulfilment of this miracle.”
We’ve been telling you for a while
that this was happening, but it is happening more and more, and throughout the
ministries in Israel we feature in this report, more of them are reporting the
same. This is real time “all Israel shall be saved.” Follow Reuven’s

Awake Israel Ministries, Shlomy and Miriam
Abramov in Rishon le Zion write, “This week alone we got the Gospel out many
times with dozens of materials and opportunities. God is doing a new thing will you not be aware of it? A woman with
a child we engaged for free diapers bought me a rose to say thank you!! That
was a first! She was so grateful. Also in one week, we have added 3 new
families to our list to help with humanitarian aid. I think there will be even
more to come as the war heats up again too.
We got an invitation to a January Day of Prayer event
with President Trump at Mar-A-Lago! If
you would like to sponsor us please
tell me, otherwise we cannot afford it. We would love to go representing the
body of the Lord in Israel. It is so nice just to have been invited
however, I am thrilled by the invitation and Shlomy would love to attend too.
God only knows what is in store for Israel in January so far down the line but it would be a wonderful opportunity to connect
with Christians dedicated to supporting the most pro-Israel American president
ever.
We have also been invited to campus
again to share with the University of Nevada. Pray it goes very well, many
on American campuses hate Israel but sharing the gospel anywhere and everywhere
is our gift. So we accepted. Although we are specifically called to
Israel, we shall go forth in faith and we are glad to be invited.
The Ministry team at Tiferet Yeshua writes, “Israeli Society is in turmoil and divided. Our
society’s divides and internal struggles are intensifying, and frankly, as
followers of Messiah Yeshua, we are not sure how people who do not believe in
God and are not aware of His promises for Israel are surviving
this emotionally and physically….Israelis
have been watching in horror all summer as expressions of extreme antisemitism
are rising across Europe, Australia and the Americas fueled by Islamic
anti-Israel and anti-Jewish propaganda. The most shocking and saddening for
us is the fact that classic antisemitism, a kind that harkens back to
Europe’s dark days of religious blood libel and Nazi propaganda, is being expressed freely and openly especially among the younger generations and even
professing Christians….Yeshua said we should discern the signs of the times…. it feels
urgent to focus our prayers on
petitioning the Lord to shine His eternal truth and break the barriers of
darkness which the enemy is so cunningly erecting in the hearts and minds of
many.
During the summer and fall months,
Tiferet Yeshua has a monthly “Gospel Grill” outreach on the Tel Aviv promenade…. This year, Moti had an idea to expand this outreach and make it a
congregational “happening” so that families and those not usually involved
in street outreach would have an opportunity to fellowship outside our Friday
services – which has been a challenge with the ongoing
war. The event is mainly
outreach-oriented, but we added teaching for those who are interested
and activities for children…. We know that sowing
the seeds of the Gospel will bring in a harvest for the Kingdom of God, and we
feel the urgency of showing our people the way, the truth, and the life in
Yeshua. We are also encouraged to see more involvement from the
congregation…. Please pray with us for these
outreaches and for every Israeli who had the opportunity to hear the good news
to come to faith!
The war and
overall internal struggles in Israel have brought financial stress on many
believers, including those at Tiferet Yeshua. Life in Israel has
never been easy, but the challenges have been growing significantly since October 7, 2023.
Yet, when we receive requests for prayer and financial aid (we have a special
fund dedicated to this purpose), we see that in the midst of trouble, members
of Tiferet Yeshua are steadfast and growing in faith and love towards the Lord. All these praise reports and all we do
here at Tiferet Yeshua are only possible with the blessing of the Lord and support of partners and prayer warriors like you! Thank you for
standing with us. We bless you
from Israel
