The Gospel Comes Home to Jerusalem

The Gospel came out of Jerusalem two thousand years ago. Now, in these last days, it is returning to where it all began.

Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

2 Corinthians 3:15–16

Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in — and in this way all Israel will be saved.

Romans 11:25

The Veil Is Beginning to Lift

For two millennia, the Gospel has traveled among the nations, bearing fruit across every tongue and tribe. Now it is coming full circle — returning to Jerusalem and to the Jewish people, as the veil that has long covered their hearts begins to lift.

We are grateful to God for the grace He has given us to play a part in His extraordinary last-days mission.

Our Story

From a Living Room Near Haifa to a Movement Across Israel

In 1995, Gleb Sambursky was praying on the Golan Heights with his mother and a close friend when the Lord opened his heart to Ezekiel 37 — the vision of the dry bones of the house of Israel and the life-giving breath of the Holy Spirit.

Shortly after, a small Messianic congregation was born in his family's home near Haifa. What began as a humble gathering has since grown into a nationwide movement: today, Living Israel spans 25 congregations across the country, bringing together more than 1,000 believers.

The Name Behind the Mission

King of Shalem

To understand what God is doing in Jerusalem today, we must first understand the city's name.

Jerusalem's earliest name — and the root from which it comes — is Shalem (Genesis 14:18). This ancient name carries a depth of meaning that goes far beyond a simple label: it speaks of wholeness, completeness, perfection, peace, and redemption.

This is no coincidence. Jerusalem and its people stand at the very heart of God's great plan of restoration — the place where His eternal purposes will be brought to their fullness and completion.

Our Current Focus: Jerusalem

Today, Gleb and his team have received a clear calling to focus on Jerusalem — planting communities and home churches among both the Hebrew-speaking and Arab-speaking populations of the city.

Jerusalem is home to the largest Jewish population in the land (600,000) and one of the largest Arab populations in Israel (400,000). Yet these two communities remain deeply divided — separated by hatred, fear, and decades of pain on both sides.

This is precisely where we believe God is moving.

"I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication."

Zechariah 12:10

Christ is the Shalom this city has long been searching for. In Him, the walls of division crumble — and from the ashes of ancient enmity, a miracle is born: One New Man.

We already have our first Jewish and Arab disciples. The first Hebrew-speaking community meets in a strategic location in the heart of the Old City.

This is where we are. This is where God is moving.

Jerusalem today — a city alive and moving

The Power of the Gospel

Preaching with Signs and Wonders

We believe that God accompanies the preaching of the Gospel with signs and wonders — just as we read in the book of Acts, and just as we witness among us today. This is one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate the reality of the risen Christ, both to Jewish and Arab people.

Equipping the Next Generation

Preparing for the Mission

Reaching Jerusalem requires more than vision — it requires people who are equipped, rooted in the Word, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

A few years ago, a Spirit-filled Bible school was established in Jerusalem for this very purpose: to train the next generation of Israeli believers in the knowledge of Scripture and the power of the Spirit. Gleb serves on the school's board, and his close co-worker and pastor, Eli Dorfman, serves as Programme Director.

It's Challenging for Believers to Live in the Holy Land

From sharply rising housing and living costs to ongoing insecurity — missile attacks, terror, airport closures and more — many believers in Israel are struggling to stay in the Land, let alone focus on sharing the Good News of Yeshua.

Our primary goal is to support the families of pastors and ministers, giving them a stable income so they can devote themselves fully to evangelism and discipleship.

Your contribution — however small — can be life-changing for faithful servants of God covering their family's basic needs while staying focused on the mission.

Every gift matters. Thank you for standing with us.

Together, we are part of His extraordinary last-days mission.
