About

Next Gen for Israel is a ministry dedicated to reaching and teaching young Christians about the importance of praying for and supporting the Jewish people. Gen-Z and Millennials are living in a world post-Christendom, and even for those who have found a home in the local church, mainstream theology has forgotten Israel.

We produce blog and social media material that reminds youth of Israel's divine importance, and our responsibility to always love and support them.

We encourage a very activism-oriented and intellectual generation to use their resources and knowledge to turn the discouraging trends within modern evangelicalism around and remember Israel's glorious purpose.

While the mainstream narrative uses political means to demonize those who support Israel, we respectfully encourage fellow believers to dive into Scripture and know God's incredible plans for His chosen people.

Six specific goals in our ministry to young Christians are to:

1) Teach them about the shared heritage between Christianity and Judaism: Christianity has its roots in Judaism, and Jesus Christ was a Jew. By learning about the shared heritage between Christianity and Judaism, young Christians can develop a deeper appreciation for the Jewish people and their role in history.

2) Highlight the contributions of Jewish people to Christianity: Jewish people have contributed greatly to Christianity, including the writing of the Old Testament, which forms the basis of Christian scripture, and the birth of Jesus Christ, who was a Jew. By recognizing the important role that Jewish people have played in the development of Christianity, young Christians can appreciate the value of supporting the Jewish people.

3) Educate them about the history of anti-Semitism: Unfortunately, throughout history, Jewish people have been subjected to discrimination, persecution, and violence because of their religious beliefs. By educating young Christians about the history of anti-Semitism, they can develop a greater sense of empathy and understanding for the Jewish people and the importance of supporting them.

4) Emphasize the importance of tolerance and acceptance: As Christians, we are called to love our neighbours as ourselves and to treat others with kindness and respect. By emphasizing the importance of tolerance and acceptance, young Christians can develop a greater appreciation for the diversity of cultures and religions in our world, including the Jewish people.

5) Encourage them to get involved: Finally, encourage young Christians to get involved in organizations that support the Jewish people, such as the Anti-Defamation League or the American Jewish Committee. By actively engaging in efforts to support the Jewish people, they can make a tangible difference and help build bridges of understanding and respect between different faith communities.

6) Provide gospel material as a free gift to the Jewish people: If a young Christian has a connection to someone of Jewish descent, we would like to provide them with gospel literature they can gift to them in an act of evangelism and ministry. (Click here to order free material).

Purim 2023: G-d's Faithfulness to His Chosen People

On March 6th and 7th 2023, the Jewish people will celebrate  Purim or The Feast of Lots . It is a triumphant time which symbolizes G-d's faithfulness to the protection and prosperity of the Jewish people. For us as gentiles, it is a wonderful time to acknowledge the Jewish communities "chosenness" as the apple of G-d's eye, and by extension, anyone born again as a Christian can partake in this "chosenness". "What Purim reaffirms to Christians and Jews alike is the fact that the everyday life is infused with G-d's presence and is under His control" ( One For Israel ). A Simple Summary of Esther (The Purim Story) King Ahasuerus whose kingdom stretched from India to Ethiopia (ancient Persia) threw a party to celebrate and acknowledge his reign and success. First, he threw a 180-day party with representatives from all 127 of the regions under his control, and after that, he threw a week-long party just for residents from his capital city of Shusha

Replacement Theology: The "Jewish Problem" in Modern Christianity

If we want to be serious followers of Jesus (Yeshua), we must be serious followers of His word. If we look at what His word calls of us, we (as modern Christians) have a major problem,  a Jewish problem.  Our 21st-century church's trend in abandoning her recognition and responsibility toward Israel is leading to many Christians replacing it with Western and secularized philosophies. Many Christians no longer believe that Israel and the Jewish people hold any significance in our walk with God. The relationship between Christianity and Judaism has evolved significantly over the past two thousand years, and the reasons for the changing importance of Israel and the Jewish people to the modern Christian Church are messy and complex. One factor is the growing secularization of Western societies and churches, which has led many Christians to prioritize social justice issues, such as poverty, racism, and environmental degradation, over theological debates about the relationship between Chr

Video: Our Christian Duty to Minister to the Jewish People

Shalom! This is a plea to my fellow Christians. We need to remember the precious Jewish people… Ephesians 3:6 (NMV):   That the Goyim [Gentiles] should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Moshiach [Messiah] by the Gospel (joyful message) When we gift a scripture to a Jew, we honor the legacy of our spiritual ancestors who paved the way for our spiritual growth. It is an acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude we owe to the Jewish people for preserving the teachings of the Old Testament and passing them down through generations.
