Administrative Positions
Short-Term Opporunites Overview
Behold Your God Israel Campaign [Apply Now]
Dates: spring and fall
Area: Israel
Cost: $500 per week plus airfare
We have set out to share the gospel with Israelis throughout the land of Israel over the next five years. Each spring and fall we are holding a large-scale evangelistic campaign in a different region in Israel. We are looking for Jewish believers who are able-bodied and ready to share their faith. Each participant will complete evangelism training in Israel. This training will equip them to go out on the streets and share the gospel with Israelis. We use tracts and engage people one-on-one in dialogue about Y'shua. When Israelis hear from other Jewish people that Y'shua is the Messiah, it has a huge impact on how our witness is received in the land.
Dates: July
Area: New York
Cost: $500 per week plus airfare
A team of 20-30 Jewish believers who are trained in Jewish evangelism go out on the streets of New York to put that training into practice. They will spend two weeks at Moody Bible Institute* learning the essentials of street evangelism including handing out evangelistic literature, engaging people with the gospel, answering objections to Jesus, and employing messianic apologetics. After training, the team heads to New York City where they form a community committed to sharing their faith with professionals, artists, musicians, students and tourists—the richest and the poorest—of those who crowd the streets of New York City.
* Students can receive college credit for the evangelism training at Moody.
Dates: spring, fall and July
Area: New York or Israel
Cost: $500 per week plus airfare
This opportunity is for believers from any background who wish to serve God behind the scenes by enabling. A steward fills the much needed support role for either the Behold Your God Israel campaigns or the Summer Witnessing Campaigns. The role includes doing anything from helping out with stuffing tract bags, shopping for food or supplies, meal preparation, laundry, or running local errands. The goal is to be part of the support team that keeps the daily functions of the campaign running. Like the campaigners, stewards work within a team and have on-the-job training. Being in good physical health is needed, as there are many activities to carry out.
Dates: June - August

Cost: $2,800 including airfare

Children and Youth
This is a unique opportunity for children of Jewish believers to learn about their Messiah and heritage with other children from a similar background. Most children who attend Camp Gilgal have at least one parent who is a Jewish believer in Jesus, but many have few, if any, other relatives who are believers. We want them to come away knowing what it means to have a relationship with the Lord and to grow personally. Camp counselors and other support staff are always needed.
