The Kashtan's are active members of the Grace & Truth Christian Congregation near Tel Aviv. They are involved in outreach and discipleship opportunities in their areas and run the HaChotam Christian Publishing house.
In 1992, we sent Eitan & Orit Kashtan back to Israel for gospel ministry. They have been active in the leadership and ministry at the Grace & Truth Congregation near Tel Aviv. The church has about 260 attendees on the Sabbath service.
Orit is involved in preparing material and leading the children’s ministry. Eitan serves in the youth ministry and is an elder at the church. Community work is coordinated by Eitan which consists of helping with a school for children with autism and those who have been abandoned and work among the deaf in the community.
The Kashtan’s primary ministry is the HaChotam Christian publishing house which produces separate periodicals geared towards adults, youth and children, as well as publication of many Christian resources into Hebrew. Through this ministry the Kashtans are able to instruct Israeli Christians in sound doctrine and practice. They also sponsor Christian conferences and festivals in Israel.
Updates & Prayer Requests
As the new year approaches, we rejoice with our Global Partners in the work the Lord has done through their ministries and through His Church. We hope your heart is encouraged by looking back on some of these stories from 2019.
What the Kashtans have called their biggest project yet, has wrapped up with an incredible celebration this week. Last year they endeavored to produce a children’s CD entitled “My First 100 Songs”. It has been a long period of song writing, studio recording, creating artistic images for each song, and preparing for the concert.
A few weeks ago, we had our quarterly prayer meeting in the Fireside room. If you were unable to join us, please consider praying on your own time or inviting others to join you in lifting up these requests before the Lord.
There are many factors that can make it difficult for us to feel connected to our global partners overseas. It has been a goal of the Global Outreach Team to address some of those challenges through regular prayer updates, quarterly corporate prayer meetings, and opportunities to meet with our global partners when they are visiting.
