“Where there is no ḥāzôn – Divine revelation – the people perish.”
What remains is how do we impact the young Christians in Western nations toward receiving Divine revelation to support such ministry? Or even to the point that they are equipped to engage in same Divine Outreach in their own nations? Where there is no vision for salvation for Palestinians, I wonder if the American youth can even be open to taking up support of Israel as their fathers and grandfathers have. In part is due to the failure of Israel-supporting Christians who have themselves not carried a vision for the salvation of Arabs, or the Divine reconciliation that many Israeli ministries and especially young Israeli ministries are actively planning right now.
This is a turning point and an opportune moment to pray for both the Israeli younger generations and our own younger generations to recieve ḥāzôn – Divine revelation – vision from God that young people whose hearts are on fire for the LORD can run with a message of salvation across all generations, tongues, ethnicities and nations.
The focus of Arrows from Zion this week was very much inspired by the Zoom call I was
on Wednesday morning with Fields of Wheat, an equipping ministry for young
people – teenagers of believing families. The equipping is for the harvest of souls in
Israel. Eitan has been doing the Katzir camps 3 times a year for the past 25
years because he knows that the harvesters are going to be those teens over
the last 25 years who have been built up in their spirits to run with the
message of Yeshua to all Israel.
Joel Jelski, who is now the Director
of Fields of Wheat, in his own teens went to Katzir camps. Now he is leading
the equipping ministry with great vision. It was Joel who brought up how he
wondered who among the Christians in the nations would be supporting their
efforts 20 years down the road. Christians who support Israel are aging
out and for the most part younger generations of Christians from the
nations do not carry a vision for supporting Israel as their parents and
grandparents have. THAT IS WHAT I CALL A PRAYER PRIORITY!
Just like Eitan has carried the vision for
Israel’s young believers to be equipped for the mission ahead of them in God’s
last days prophecies, we Christians in the nation need to be equipping our
young people for the mission that is connected to their Israeli counterparts in
the future too. God has a big vision – to make of two ONE NEW MAN. What that
means is unity between Christians and Messianic Israel, because God is
bringing back Jews to Israel in order to get them saved by faith in Yeshua
there!
It is much more likely the
fulfillment of that vision will come about in the lives of our children and
grandchildren. If we live long enough to see it, that is fantastic, but it
will be them who walk it out in fullness. . .and they must be equipped to do so,
which is our job to equip them to do so. I can’t think of a better place to
start than praying over the young people who right now are being mis-lead
into antagonistic views of Israel. It’s not God’s view, but many have been
locked into a huge deception that has to be broken for the Light to pierce the
darkness. Can Christians be deceived about such things? Yes! But the
power of intercession made on this point is the starting point.
There was another essential
point that was spoken of in this ZOOM intercessory meeting, because the
Christian Arab team member Ruby Bishai, carries the other! That is his
vision to launch a Christian Arab equipping camp for young Israeli Christian
Arabs in the same manner as the Messianic Jewish Katzir camps! Ruby is such
a ‘mensch’ – a man of integrity, honor and sacrifice to please God. Just
getting to know him through his letters from Fields of Wheat has been a
blessing. This is a man with a heart for God and for his Arab people to know
and walk with Yeshua. That is an essential WITNESS IN THE LAST DAYS TO ALL
THE NATIONS!
The efforts that are being put into the
young believers through this ministry are just nothing short of the plan of God.
The visions for how they see expanding the ministry is nothing short of LIFE-GIVING.
Learn more at Fields of Wheat, subscribe to the mailing list, join the Zoom
meetings to pray for the camps and PLEASE pray for young Christians to catch
God’s vision for Israel and to envision how they fit into His plans for the
blessings for the world as Israel comes to faith in Yeshua/Jesus. - Donna Diorio
11/21 Fields of Wheat letter from Eitan Shishkoff, founder
Israel’s
emerging generation (14-25 year olds) is inheriting a nation with aching needs. Two years of non-stop war have
drained our resources—economically, physically, and emotionally. How can the people of Israel respond to the weighty
demands placed on this small country, surrounded by enemies and longing for
peace? The hunger for a better life is tangible. But we know that this
longing can only be filled by a genuine relationship with Israel’s Messiah,
Yeshua.
Israeli
Youth at Historic Crossroads | This places the young people who are preparing to
enter military service and soon after married and professional life, in a
pivotal position. What we invest in them will become the future of Israel.
In the weeks
to come we’ll be sharing with you via an end-of-the-year emphasis we’re calling
“The Future of Israel.” We’re eager to impart our expectation and faith for
the road ahead. We know that our assignment from the Lord of the Harvest is
to equip this emerging generation of Israelis (both Jewish and Arab) to be the
workers and leaders in Yeshua’s final harvest.
We invite you to join us on this road. We’ll be
journeying together with these precious young people whose future will impact
the nation of Israel, and beyond. Instead of the diabolical anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism
that is spreading like a deadly cancer across the globe, we can stand with the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as He calls us together in the opposite
spirit—the spirit of life!
We’re
excited for the future; and to share this future with you. Stepping into this stage of history,
along with its challenges and obstacles, is why God has given each of us life
NOW, and placed us in THIS moment. Now is the time to make our life count for
His Kingdom, for His King—Messiah Yeshua.
In friendship and a shared future, Eitan and the Fields of Wheat team
