Over the last few weeks, we’ve been reviewing the activities of Christian evangelism ministries in Israel, and this is the last blog in the series. So far, we’ve discussed the history of these ministries and their importance in Israel.
In the last post, we talked extensively about the awe-inspiring works God has been doing through these ministries, including ours in Israel. And like I said in conclusion the last time, I am persuaded that as long as we keep sowing the seed of the Word of God, it will grow and yield bountifully in time.
In this last part of the series, we will discuss simple ways you can support these evangelistic ministries.
Ways to Support Christian Evangelism Ministries in Israel
1. Pray for Them
Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. (Colossians 4:2-4)
One of the greatest ways you can support Christian evangelism ministries in Israel like ours is through prayer. Great results in evangelism are always birthed in prayer.
You see, no matter how good our evangelistic efforts are, they cannot convince an unbeliever to believe in Yeshua as the Messiah in and of themselves. Remember the psalmist’s words, “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it” (Psalm 127:10).
Evangelistic ministries like ours need your prayers. We need you to agree with us in prayer that God will give us the words and the opportunity to preach the Gospel message effectively.
Having been in the ministry for a while, I’ve come to understand that knowing the Gospel message is not enough to preach it to the unsaved effectively. Regardless of the evangelism method we use – whether we have in-person physical discussions, use the internet or wear a Yeshua t shirt, evangelism is most effective when our actions are backed by fervent prayers.
E.M Bounds, in his book Power by Prayer, said:
“Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still. He will never talk well and with real success to men for God who has not learnt well how to talk to God for men.”
Prayer equips us to talk well to men for God. Paul knew this when he wrote to the church in Colossae, asking them to pray that God would open a door of utterance for him to speak the mystery of Christ the way he ought to. I particularly love how the Message Translation renders Colossians 4:4. It says:
Pray that every time I open my mouth I’ll be able to make Christ plain as day to them. (Colossians 4:4 – The Message Bible)
Please pray the same prayer for us. Ask the Father to grant us creative and effective ideas to preach the Gospel message. Also, ask Him to supernaturally prepare men’s hearts to receive the Word of God with meekness.
Finally in your prayers, ask God to bless our evangelistic efforts and cause the Gospel of Yeshua to prevail over every false belief in Israel, just as it did in Acts 19:20.
2. Share Their Evangelistic Content with Others
Apart from praying for Christian evangelism ministries in Israel, another great way you can support them is to share their evangelistic content with others. As a ministry, we have several Yeshua-centered evangelistic materials in the form of articles and music videos that you can use for this purpose – much more than you can exhaust!
Like I said in the last article, all our materials are based on concepts in the Torah, like the Hear O Israel prayer, and other Jewish traditions that the average Israeli can relate to.
With a few clicks and swipes on your smartphone, you can share these evangelistic materials with friends on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Together, let’s be quick to use online media to reach the unsaved in Israel with the saving Gospel of Yeshua.
3. Support them Financially
Finally, you can give to these ministries, including ours, to support what God is doing through them. Your financial support, no matter the amount, will go a long way to help us reach more Jewish people with the unadulterated truth that Messiah has come!
Wrap Up
Christian evangelism ministries in Israel like ours are using every means of communication the 21st century has to offer to share the Gospel message. We use Bible-based concepts like the Hear O Israel prayer, the Passover, the Sabbath, and other holy days. With your support, we can do a lot more. If you feel inspired to be part of what God is doing through us, you can get started by employing the three points above.
