Shavei Tzyon | Return to Zion Congregation
Haifa, Israel

“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!" (Psalms 117:22-24)
Shalom dear brothers and sisters in Yeshua the Messiah!
Blessings and peace to you from our Heavenly Father. We are immensely grateful that you are standing with us in the proclamation of the Glorious Name of Yeshua the Messiah in Israel. As summer arrives, I want to update you.
Congregational Planting
As a congregation, we have existed since 2001 and then started a sister congregation in Upper Nazareth in 2004. From there, we developed many projects in Haifa, including humanitarian aid programs, a theological school, an internet TV channel, educational initiatives for youth, and the “Eagle-Nesher” equipping project for IDF soldiers after they finish their obligatory service.
Now we are planting a new congregation – preparing a team, looking for a space to rent, and gathering funds to pay for repairs.
The Eagle-Nesher Project
After having taken a break due to Covid restrictions, with God’s help, this August a team of 15 will be going to Norway. Together, we will focus on the disciplines of faith, study, service, development, and hiking in this wonderful country with dear friends. Our goal is to give more Israeli youth an opportunity to get involved in the ministry of Yeshua the Messiah.
Humanitarian Aid
Mercy for mercy’s sake – Israeli law forbids giving humanitarian aid in order to change a person’s religious beliefs, and we are grateful for this law. It protects our children and adults from bribery. With God and your help, our humanitarian projects have grown threefold since 2020. We are happy to freely bless people in need, and they are enthusiastically grateful to receive. We pray that though we cannot openly share about Yeshua, this giving will serve an important divine purpose – to help the needy know that their Heavenly Father cares for them and that hope is not lost!
Return to Zion

We are preparing a group of new believers for water immersion (baptism). At the same time, we are running the Alef Course (Bible Study). We ask for your prayers for both. We are also preparing groups of new leaders and want to continue to train the next generations for positions of leadership, that we may advance with enthusiasm and proficiency.
We would appreciate your prayers!
