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!”
