In2025, Angie and Joe had the incredible privilege of travelling to Israel, walking through the places where Jesus walked and experiencing the land where so much of our faith began. It was a journey that left a lasting impression on their hearts, but little did they know that God had something much greater planned.
It was only later, back home in South Africa, during an evening of ministering to a group of young adults, that God spoke clearly to Joe’s heart. He felt a calling to take a group of young people to Israel in 2027.
What began as a personal experience had now become a vision for the next generation.
We believe there is a movement rising among young people.
A generation that is searching for something real, hungry for truth, and longing for a genuine relationship with Jesus.
We have seen firsthand how God is moving in the hearts of young adults, and we believe this is only the beginning of something extraordinary.
Our hearts are to see young people rooted in God’s Word, confident in their faith, and bold enough to carry the Gospel into a world that desperately needs Jesus. Taking them to Israel is about somuch more than visiting historical places. It’s about bringing the Bible to life, deepening their understanding of Scripture, and giving them an opportunity to experience the land where Jesus lived, taught, and ministered. We pray that they will return not only with unforgettable memories but with a renewed fire for Jesus and a desire to make Him known wherever they go.
We are completely trusting God for the finances needed to make this vision a reality. We don”t know exactly how it will all come together, but we believe that the same God who placed this calling on our hearts will make a way. We are taking each step in faith, trusting Him to provide the right opportunities, open the right doors, and bring the right people alongside us.
If God places it on your heart to contribute towards this journey, we would be deeply grateful. Every contribution, regardless of its size, will help us move closer to making this opportunity possible for a group of young adults.
There is absolutely no obligation to give. We simply want to share what God has placed on our hearts and invite those who feel led to become part of the journey. More than anything, we ask that you keep this vision in your prayers.
Our greatest desire is not simply to take young people to Israel, but to see a generation so deeply rooted in Jesus that they go on to impact countless lives for His Kingdom.
