Youth Training Day on Isaiah 19 11th June 2022

“In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

Isaiah 19:23-24
35 people came to this teaching day on the Isaiah 19 Highway. Tom Craig began with an overview about how God established His covenant with Abraham, which continued through the descendants of David until Jesus. He emphasised the power of covenant and the God who keeps covenant.

Isaiah 19 is about the reunion of the sons of Abraham from Sarah, Hagar and Keturah. We took the time to explore the whole chapter. Tom  explained the judgments that will take place in Egypt on the gods of Egypt. God will shake Egypt in order to make Himself known as the  only Most High God. God will release his Spirit over Egypt and there will be an altar and a pillar inside Egypt for God’s glory.

We had a wonderful lunch and fellowship. There was a powerful time of worship taking us deeper into the presence of the Lord. We started at 9:30 and finished at 4:45 with a time of prayer and declaring the five decrees that start with “On that day…” in Isaiah 19. Some of the young people took turns to join in these prayers and declarations. There was a lot of openness in the hearts of the young people and they were hungry to learn more about this important and timely subject.

New Focus for Youth Meetings: the Secrets of the Vine

In August, we began a new focus for HOPE’s youth meetings, looking at the Secrets of the Vine from John 15:1-4. Rania had been praying and reflecting on recent revelations on the current season of sifting and threshing (see her vision of the Bride in the Field of Wheat), and preparing for a new series on the testing of our faith. During this time, one of HOPE’s intercessors had a dream about a vinedresser cutting and pruning a vine:

She saw herself standing in a farm where a farmer was pushing a cart full of branches. These branches were large, green and fresh vine branches. The man pushing the cart was the vinedresser. He was picking the long vine branches and gathering them in bunches and then placing them in the cart. She asked, “Why are you cutting off these branches, they look so beautiful? Why are you in such a hurry to cut and prune this vine?” He answered, “I have given it some time.” It seemed to her that these branches had been given time to bear fruit yet they did not yield any. The vinedresser put all these branches into the cart and took them away from the vine. She pleaded with the man, “Please, give it more time, give it another chance!” Then another man appeared and he was gentle, standing before the vinedresser with loving eyes. She felt that this man was the Lord Jesus. He spoke to the vinedresser and said, “Give them another chance!”

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes a so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”
John15:1-4

 

Youth Training Day in Shefamer 22nd February

47 young people came together from different cities and villages across the Galilee and Jerusalem. Two different worship teams led powerful times of worship. Rania gave an introduction on the importance of clear sight for this year and how God is preparing the younger generation to operate in the prophetic anointing. She also shared about the importance of God’s dealings in our lives to purify us, and how God is highlighting eyesight in 2020. She spoke about the strategic timing of the training day 22-2-2020 which God had shown her to be a day of breakthrough and preparation for the younger generation to move into a higher level of authority in which they are destined to carry the keys of David (Isaiah 22:22).

Rick and Patricia Ridings led the second session, sharing about the importance of the seer gift and how to operate in it, giving different examples of visions and dreams resulting in powerful declarations over nations and shifting these nations. Their teaching was uplifting and faith building.

Priscilla shared about her personal journey, how God had begun to open her eyes as a young woman and developed this gift in her life. She shared how each one of us can hear from God in very simple ways. She spoke from experience about the struggles that she had to go through as God used these things to mold and sharpen the seer gifting in her life. God had used the power of the blood of Jesus and communion in her past and will use it in this season to overthrow the enemy’s plans against God’s people and the body of Christ in the nations. We ended this day with worship then gathered around the communion table – where the glory of God was very thick in the room (there had been a powerful presence of the Lord at this same point during the women’s day too).

We are so grateful to the Lord for these two powerful days of deep revelation and teachings, fellowship, food, prayer, worship and communion.

June 2019 Events

During the Pentecost season, we had two events with our good friends, Ray & Renaid Almgren from Pittsburgh. A training day for young people took place on the subject of the Holy Spirit and intercession. We also had a women’s breakfast where we invited women leaders and pastors’ wives who were invited to the Legacy Hotel. During the breakfast, we had a time of worship, sharing of hearts, and teaching on prophetic intercession focusing on prayer triggers by Ray & Renaid. We had around 23 women that are in leadership who attended. It was a great time of worship and fellowship around food. We believe the gathering of women every couple of months deeply unites us.

 

February 2019 Women’s & Youth Conference

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him, and he with me.”

Revelation 3:20

We feel the Lord wants to heal His body this year. He wants to pour out His oil on His people, the oil of the balm of Gilead. The Lord is pouring a new wine and He is looking for a cluster of grapes. Isaiah 65:8a says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster.” He is forming a new cluster, a new oneness, and unity among His people. Often times, healing will proceed a move of unity in the body. We are responding by doing two events, one for the women and one for the youth because we believe healing and deeper forgiveness is essential for the Body of Christ.

Our good friend Orna Grinman, a Jewish mother in the land, will be speaking and doing the training for us. She is the founder of the ministry Ot Oo’Mofet (Sign & a Wonder). On February 15th we will have an all-day women’s gathering, and we are expecting up to 80-90 to come. The next day, we will have the youth gathering and are expecting 80-90 youth to come as well.

These gatherings will be about forgiveness with the theme, “Who is Knocking at Your Door? How to deal with painful emotions & thoughts so they won’t rule your life.” Rania & Orna will be sharing during these gathering. We have invited all the Arab churches to join for both gatherings.

 

Youth Training Day “Conquer and Possess” – 18th February 2017

Following the Arab women’s conference on the 18th of February, we invited young people from different Arab churches across the land to attend a full day of training, worship and fellowship. This is HOPE’s vision to equip the young generation in the land. We had around 100 Arab youth and 20 Jewish Messianic young people attend the day, with a ministry team of 20 international and local leaders.

This event was outstanding with incredible experiences of His thick presence and glory! The day proved to be a fruitful day of teaching, activation, worship, prayer and fellowship among the young people both Arab and Jew.

We had three sessions that day of worship and teaching with Barbara Yoder, Ray and Renaid Almgren and Briskilla Zananiri.

The opening session was outstanding as Barbara shared with the young people a powerful message. The Lord woke her up that night and spoke to her the word “Secretariat”. Secretariat was an American race horse who won the first triple crown in 25 years. After digging more into Secretariat’s history, she found out that his grandfather’s name was “Nassrallah” an Arabic name, which means “God has the victory”!

That was a significant prophetic message to this generation to rise up like David who slayed Goliath, and that God is granting them the strength and perseverance to run the race because they are called to walk in victory!

The second session was opened with a powerful time of Hebrew worship from Elav’s Succat Hallel worship team. In this session Ray and Renaid shared a deep message on worship and how to become worshipers. There were deep moments where we felt we touched a realm in the spirit we hadn’t touched before, especially when we began to release our voices in corporate worship!

The day ended with an activation session on hearing the voice of God with Briskilla Zananiri. This was such an amazing blessing to watch the young people write words they are receiving from the Holy Spirit and share them with others. Following the message, we had an altar call for youth to come forwarded to be anointed and empowered freshly again as His messengers in this land!

Barbara Yoder shared her experience during this Youth Training Day:

“We just finished the youth conference with 140 Arab youth last night. I have not seen that level of anointing on a group of millennial’s anywhere that I saw on them. God is really raising up an army of young people here in Israel in the Arab community. I fell in love with them and I had an amazing time. Tarrah and I prophesied over a whole bunch last night. The guys were just as open as the gals were. Rania Sayegh is doing an amazing job pulling both the youth and women of the the nation together.

The Holy Spirit just fell on them and they start weeping, shaking, totally overcome. When you see that level of the Holy Spirit moving upon the young people and within them there is amazing hope for the nation. And how amazing that that level of God’s presence is on the Arab youth. That generation is going to shake the world and usher in the greatest global awakening. It’s already happening here in the Middle East but there is much more to be done. How encouraging, how exciting, how faith building!”

Briskilla Zananiri sharing her experience at the Youth Training Day:

The gathering of Arab and Jewish young people was an event remembered by the honest conversation Barbara Yoder had with them, the beautiful time of worship by Magd, and the wonderful time of personal ministry given to each young person in attendance. Wow, it is so true that God has set in place ministering spirits who are sent to strengthen, heal, and equip His saints. To witness the development of God’s generation is such a joyful blessing!!!”
