Springtime Discipleship Intensive Program

Israel Discipleship Community

“And the LORD God took Adam, and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and protect it.” (Genesis 2:15)

For the past two years, in the Judean Hills just west of Jerusalem, the Revive Israel Discipleship Center has been pioneering a variety of spiritual programs for young Israeli adults. The programs take place in small groups of up to ten, in a family atmosphere of community life. We focus individually on each student, with mentoring and training from experienced staff.

We build the framework, the “platform,” and invite the Lord to act in the lives of the students. We figured that if God used a garden to nurture Adam, we would try it as well. So the discipling programs operate as an integral part of the “Third Day Farm,” where we grow seasonal vegetables and raise farm animals while preserving and improving the soil organically.

In recent programs, we have observed that students form a strong connection to the Creator through working the soil. Contact with His creation makes the truths of Yeshua’s agricultural parables completely tangible and draws us closer to Him. We have seen that in fieldwork combined with praise and prayer there is healing for soul and spirit (Psalm 147:3). Significant changes are made in a relatively short time. Students clearly comprehend who God is as Creator (Romans 1:20).

Forty Days of Fire

In the upcoming program, we will set apart the time from May 1 to June 9, 2022

To be filled with the Holy Spirit,

To draw near to Yeshua the Good Shepherd and recognize His voice,

To love Yeshua with all our heart and with all our soul,

To be filled with both passion for the Lord and the fear of God,

To acquire tools for future daily life with our Master, at work or studies,

To serve as unto the Lord and not for human beings

To receive direction for life.

“... And for forty days, He appeared to them and spoke with them concerning the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:3)

Our framework includes praise and prayer together with teaching and practical serving - a daily routine similar to the normal daily routine of the average person who gets up for work in the morning. We direct students to invite the Lord into their daily routine, so that at the end of the program they can apply the newly acquired habits, to continue to grow in the Lord, to serve in the community and to have a positive impact on others.
