We are developing a curriculum for the congregation’s children from kindergarten through 12th grade. This involves both materials translated and original material created here in Israel that is culturally meaningful for Israeli children and youth. We are also starting a children’s choir. In addition, we are providing music lessons and instruments to help develop musical talent to become the worship leaders in Israel for tomorrow's generation.
Our congregation, Kehilat Tiferet Yeshua, is a Hebrew-speaking congregation actively involved in evangelism—street, new age festivals, and a number of our members are actively involved with one-on-one evangelism. We believe in full family salvation--winning every member of the family by exhibiting the transformation in lives who have come to faith in Yeshua (Jesus).
istandwithisrael.com was begun 6 years ago to help the victims of terror in Israel, and provide aid to the Messianic Jews of Israel. We give aid to help immigrants study Hebrew, provide job training, erase debt, start new businesses, meet medical needs, and help with down payments to purchase homes, provide food, counseling, and assistance to widows and orphans.
We have just finished the recording and publishing of the New Testament in Hebrew with a musical score. This year it is our goal to produce some audio books for evangelism, and continue preparing teaching DVDs for the whole body throughout Israel. We are currently working on our next worship CD, having already produced three. Media will reach the next generation!
Co-Founder Ari Sorko-Ram is mentoring young pastors, both immigrant (Russian) and native-born Israelis. We are sending the immigrants to university language schools so they can preach in Hebrew on a university level. Shira hosts a gathering for pastors’ wives and women in leadership every three months. This gathering has turned out to be a wonderful tool for unity. Also wives of Christian Arab congregations are attending.
Creating a library of books for spiritual growth in Hebrew is most definitely a pioneer work that will give multitudes of Israelis the opportunity to understand the Gospel, and then to put deep roots down in their faith. We now have one full Israeli team for publishing including translator, editor, proof reader, typesetter graphic designer and workers with our digital printing equipment. Our publishing now totals over 50 books and 37 booklets, with 8 more titles in process.
