For Israeli pastors currently serving congregations throughout the Land, a new Master’s degree program at a local Bible college has been set into motion. The program is geared for those currently serving as senior pastors, shepherds and ministry leaders – men who eagerly desire further equipping in the practical aspects of ministry.
The Lord has opened up opportunities across the Middle East for The Joshua Fund to assist local pastors and church leaders by providing solid biblical teaching that brings refreshment to the soul, training in godly living, promoting discipleship, and providing counseling to those who have suffered traumatic life circumstances. Your gifts have made it possible to visit, encourage, and equip the saints for the work of the ministry. (Ephesians 4:12)
One of The Joshua Fund’s dearest ministry partners leads conferences and other activities in Israel where young adults can clearly hear the truth of the Gospel. The goal is to help these young adults personally know and understand Christ’s love for them and to help them become like Him.

The observance of the Feast of Trumpets, often referred to as “Rosh Hashanah,” begins at sundown Sunday, October 2 through Tuesday, October 4, 2016. God describes its observance in Leviticus 23:23-25. It is a day of sounding trumpets in the Temple and throughout the land of Israel.

But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:36 The entire Middle East and the Epicenter is weary from war. And yet the harvest is plentiful and ripe even though the laborers in the field are few. There are many pastors throughout the weary, worn and scattered fields of the Middle East that your gifts and prayers are helping to support as they share the love of God with hurting people.
