Let the Children come to me
Praise the Lord! There is a significant and continuous growth of the Local
body of believers in Israel. This growth is mainly of young people and young
families with children. In addition, the local body of Hebrew speaking
believers in Israel is a relatively new body and therefore, the amount of
existing Messianic Hebrew resources are very limited, and specially for
children. There is a need to continue and build the body of the Messiah in
Israel with more Messianic resources for children that will help in leading
them to the Lord, encourage and strengthen them spiritually. This is even
more important here in Israel as the local community of believers is a small
minority and the children are the most vulnerable group that feel this
pressure (at school, among friends and in the general society).
There is a real need to strengthen, build and encourage the spiritual
identity and faith of the children and their families in the Messiah of
Israel. This is the reason of the need for developing a variety of new
resources and proactively distribute them among the children and families of
the local body here in Isarel.
Under this project in 2020 and 2021 we produced 3 new beautiful Children and
Youth resources that are already being distributed and bless the children
and families of the local body of believers in Israel (“The Victor”, “Yo-Yo”
– book about FORGIVENESS, Soft Bible stories and water doodle books for
toddlers).
However, there is a need to continuously enrich the variety of these
resources for the different age groups.
During 2022 and 2023 our plan is to produce, print and distribute additional
3 tiles for young children and another title for young youth, the famous
title “Treasures of the Snow” by Patricia St. John, a classic story of the
love and forgiveness in Christ.
We believe that these 4 books, in addition to the other that we completed,
will be a significant resource in the hands of the Lord to lead our children
to Himself. To touch, build, strengthen and shape the spiritual lives of our
children in Israel.
In addition, this need is much greater today when children have such an easy
access to un-Godly content on the Internet. We wish to provide Biblical,
Godly content that will lead them to live life in the light of the Lord, of
good testimony to the Lord in the society and such that yields the blessings
of the Lord in their life.
Under this project we will also continue to print and provide both existing
and new Bible resources for children. We will do that through local churches
and organizations and in the overall society through outreach.
We will also provide the following children materials:
Illustrated Hebrew New Testament
Treasure of Bible Stories.
The Donkey and the Prophet – (Balak and Balaam story).
Bible stories for toddlers (Soft and Water doodle books)
The Victor – for young youth.
The capacity in terms of quantity of books that will be distributed,
teaching events etc, will depend on financial resources available. Upon
conducting of the program, we will evaluate the success and incorporate
improvements if and as will be needed.
Childhood and young age is a crucial learning and development time in the
life of any person. This project will support strengthening the
Messianic/Christian identity of the children of Jewish and Hebrew speaking
believing families and will also support ministering and distributing the
Word of God to non-believing families with young children who are
interested.
