ARAB-ISRAEL: Hope for Young People in Galilee
Empowering, Equipping and Engaging Youth and Children with the Word of God.
In Israel today, 58% of Arab children live below the poverty line. Considering this is triple the number of Jewish children, it understandable why so many young Arab-Israelis despair over their future.
Arab-Israeli society is brimming with young people. However, rising levels of discontent coupled with strong feelings of helplessness and anxiety have brought about a growing epidemic of violence, bullying, and radicalization in schools and among youth culture.
There is a great need for the Prince of Peace to transform hearts and schools in Arab-Israel. Children and youth suffer from a lack of discipleship and mentoring, but churches are ill-equipped to address these mounting challenges and bring the healing message of God’s Word to the youth culture of Arab-Israel.
