What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

For thousands of years the truth of Messiah Jesus has been kept secret from the Jewish people. Today we are seeing promises, the prophecies foretold for thousands of years, miraculously coming to pass in Israel. Millions of Jews and Arabs in the Holy Land are in need of their savior. ONE FOR ISRAEL exists to spread the gospel of Jesus throughout the Land through the use of high tech online media. ONE FOR ISRAEL operates the only Accredited Hebrew speaking seminary in the world, opening the scriptures and training up leaders in the Land for growing the Kingdom. Through our Bible College and online media presence we are able to meet the needs of the growing local church in Israel in unique ways. Additionally, we support messianic believers serving in the Israeli Defense Force, Holocaust survivors, and provide aide to young mothers who chose life over abortion during their pregnancies. We are a ministry founded and operated by Jewish and Arab believers living in Israel.

One for Israel Bible College

Our College and Seminary – (“Israel College of the Bible“) – was established for the purpose of training the rapidly growing community of followers of Jesus in Israel.

We are, in fact, the only accredited Hebrew speaking seminary in the world! Jewish and Arab believers come from all over Israel to study the Bible, theology, counseling, and practical ministry.

They learn to rightly divide the Word of Truth and stand strong on the foundations of their faith. Located in central Israel, our seminary offers certificate, BA, and MA programs.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to see every Jewish and Arab believer in the Land proclaim Jesus as their Savior and belong to a vibrant and healthy local church where they receive healing, sound biblical training, and authentic community. We work tirelessly to share the gospel and train up leaders and workers in all areas of growth and discipleship to welcome Arabs and Jews into the Kingdom.

We at ONE FOR ISRAEL understand that there are many ways to bless Israel, but we are convinced that the best way to bless Israel is with Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ).

We seek to do this in two ways:

1) Reaching Israelis with the Gospel message through online videos sharing Jewish and Arab testimonies, apologetics, and discipleship training.

2) Training up the next generation of leaders through our Accredited Hebrew Speaking bible college to expand the local churches and equip them to receive the flood of new Arab and Jewish believers in Jesus.

FULLY EQUIPPED MEDIA CENTER

The media evangelism work of One For Israel was established in 2009 with the encouragement of Campus Crusade for Christ. The ministry joined forces with Israel College of the Bible in 2013, and is endorsed by the National Evangelism Committee of Israel, under the association of the mainstream congregations/churches in Israel.

How do we evangelize? With the help of cutting-edge technology and a team of trained Israeli believers, the gospel message is being broadcast throughout Israel from our media center, using websites, radio station, videos and social networking (visit our evangelism page to find out more about it.) We make sure that the truth is easy to find when people search for Yeshua on the internet, and not only that, Israelis will find that the message is in their own language and in a manner sensitive to their culture. For those who express interest, our team are ready to help them to work through their thoughts and questions, and connect them to local believers in their own area.

We at ONE FOR ISRAEL strive to share the Gospel of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) with Israeli Jews and Arabs in the Hebrew language. Our staff is comprised of both Jewish and Arab Israelis, with the shared belief that true peace in the Middle East can only come into existence under Yeshua (Jesus).

While it is a great blessing to be fluent in the language and culture of our fellow Israelis enabling us to reach them, in order to reach and to serve in the most effective manner, we also find ourselves at a disadvantage. Even though the number of believers increases each year, there are still less than 1% of the country who follow Yeshua (Jesus), and it is not easy to find the resources that we need to provide these services for Israel. If you also believe that the best way to bless Israel is with Yeshua, we invite you to join us in the harvest field here, by partnering with us in prayer and finances.


ISRAEL COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE

The Bible College was originally founded in 1990, as the need for theological training rapidly increased. The number of Jewish believers in Israel has roughly tripled each decade, and the need for new leaders, with solid Biblical foundations, has become essential.

We now have a growing staff team, qualified and equipped to train Israeli believers in theology, Biblical studies, counseling, in several different languages. We have the largest Messianic library in Israel. We are eager to meet the educational needs of Israeli believers who are being called to serve in God's kingdom, and to help them prepare for ministry. We also enjoy welcoming others from overseas to join us, whether it is for a study-tour of the country, a season of learning, or simply a visit to see what God is doing among us.

We are Israeli Jews and Arabs bringing our people to Jesus in our homeland. We uniquely understand how to speak to our brothers and approach them in ways that are relevant and effective.

Our Bible College teaches Arab and Jewish students in the same classroom. Studying the word of God together is bringing about Peace in Israel that the has never existed before.

Our online videos have been viewed over 100 million times and counting.

Countless testimonies pour in of Jews and Arabs coming to faith in Jesus.

The number of believers and messianic congregations in the Land has grown exponentially since the birth of Israel in the last 72 years. Israel College of the Bible has been essential to properly educating and training pastors and counselors to lead their congregations where there was not any formal education available to them previously.

We are currently looking to fulfill the plan God has birthed in our hearts to expand our ministry campus to become the hub for the Messianic Movement in Israel. The land we believe He has set apart for ONE FOR ISRAEL is in the middle of the country on one of the main thorough fares running North and South along the coast. From here we will work until every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord. We want to see every person in Israel saved, healed, and equipped within a healthy local Israeli church.
