A mix of 24 Israelis (Jewish and Arab), from Haifa to Arad, as well as Internationals, from the Americas and Africa, gathered together to learn how they could apply the tools of mass media to their individual ministries.

After 6 days of intensive training, the participants were given 2 days to apply what they had learned in the context of a group project. A total of 6 Music Videos were filmed and edited by the groups, all giving glory to God through music and the visual arts. Follow the links to view 5 of the projects:

• "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath
• "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North
• "What is the Reason for my Life?" by Unknown Arabic Artist
• "Come to Me"  by Unknown Arabic Artist
• "The Whole World" by Marian Anderson

We were recently given a golden opportunity to purchase various strategic properties, totaling 5,000 square feet, surrounding the Pavilion. The asking price for all seven properties, most of which we currently rent and use, was a mere $600,000. The deadline for this offer was July 1st. After much prayer, we felt that God was directing us to make this purchase. So, on June 2nd, we presented this challenge both to our community as well as to supporters around the world, leaving us with 29 days in our window of opportunity.

The response we received was simply overwhelming. According to commitments that we received by email, together with gifts that had already arrived, we passed the $500,000 mark as the deadline arrived, enabling us to purchase six of the seven properties.

As for the seventh property - the cafe/restaurant attached to the Pavilion entrance, we got this message from the owner, who has been so gracious through this whole process:

"...due to a huge response from your donors, I believe that by extending the deadline until July 21st you should be able to find the necessary funds to purchase the last property at the Clal Building."

It is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. During this extended time, Pastor Wayne felt impressed to take up a offering one Sunday for a congregation in Hong Kong that he spoke at last year instead of taking up an offering for our own needs. This congregation was in the process of purchasing and renovating an abandonded movie theater - the same process that we went through with the Pavilion 7 years ago. Our congregants gave sacrificially, but before we even had the chance to send the money off to Hong Kong, God blessed that sacrifice! Not only had the congregation in Hong Kong taken up an offering for us, but someone else in Hong-Kong, completely unrelated to that congregation, donated as well - together amounting to over $150,000! Hallelujah!!

There is no better description of what God has accomplished for us than these words of Paul:

"So TWO GOOD THINGS will result from this MINISTRY OF GIVING - the needs of the believers in JERUSALEM will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. As a result of YOUR MINISTRY, they will give glory to God. For YOUR GENEROSITY to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!"

2 Corinthians 9:12-15

Although we have had our financial needs met for this challenge, we still covet your prayers. Please pray that God would grant us wisdom and guide us during the renovation of these properties, so that His purposes would be fulfilled, and that the Lord Yeshua would receive all the glory, honor, and praise as He works in and through us here in Jerusalem, His holy city.

If you would like to give towards the renovations, you can do so via this page.

If you attend King of Kings and have not yet connected to the women's ministries, please do! We have started a new series in discipleship growth groups on Wednesday evenings at 6:00. This is open to all women - both new and mature believers. We are looking at traits of disciples, the relationship between a disciple and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and God's purposes in commanding us to make disciples. For more information, please phone the office at 625-1899 and speak to Ulla or Yanit.

Unfortunately, due to a hardware failure in the summer, our webcamera was rendered inoperative for quite a while. Yesterday, we finally managed to get the webcamera back up and running. We apologize for the extended downtime, and hope that you enjoy the view once again!

In addition to the audio podcasts that have been available for about 6 months, we now have made video podcasts available for our sermons and Torah Portions.

If you have iTunes installed, simply click on the links in the Feeds page to subscribe to that podcast in iTunes.

Well? What are you waiting for!?

This note is being written on the eve of the third anniversary of the Pavilion Prayer Tower, Shavuot (Pentecost) May 28th -29th.

“This year you will eat only what grows up by itself, and the next year you will eat what springs up from that, and in the third year you will plant crops and vineyards and eat their fruit.”

2 Kings 19:29

At this time we recall the grace of the Lord over The Prayer Tower, and all the faithful watchmen He has sent to establish firm foundations of the Word and Worship in this House. Each one has released their anointing and gifting, and has been an integral part of the secure building blocks of this House of Prayer.

As we come to celebrate our third anniversary, we are rejoicing in the amazing fruit that is marking this celebration.

Our first School of Prayer, with 35 students, is being birthed for10 days from Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia.

We are shifting our monthly corporate gathering to worship the King, and welcome Him back to Jerusalem, from The Prayer Room to the larger Pavilion venue on May 23rd.

“Praise is waiting for Him in Zion.”

Psalm 65:1

Shavuot night, Thursday May 28th, we have a full corporate night Watch 22.00-06.00 in the Prayer Tower joining with the Nations to stand by night in the House of the Lord to Bless His Name.

With thankful hearts for His fruitfulness breaking forth this year.

Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.

You are most welcome to join us on any of these celebrations.

Hag Samaech from The Prayer Tower Team,

We are so thrilled to announce the birthing of a new ministry of King of Kings Ministries. You may notice at the top of this webpage a new icon, a crown, and next to it the words Media School. That is a link to the King’s School of Media. Our vision for KSM is to create a setting where our students will not just learn, but experience hands on production in a real world environment, and then leave equipped with not just the knowledge of the business, but a full production reel of broadcast projects. And in the core of all their training is several hours a week of discipleship, provoking them to become salt and light, whether they go into ministry or seek to be a agent of change in the secular world. 

Our motivation is to train up Israeli believers with the tools of film and television, so that they can share the message of Yeshua to our people through the most powerful form of communication available. We live in a unique era, where wars are fought not merely on the battlefield but Youtube and Facebook. It is essential that we are equipped to contend for the gospel via the internet. Even standard television is becoming obsolete in favor of what is being termed the “new media” — the internet. 

In an effort to be a blessing to the local believing community here in Israel, King's School of Media is offering huge scholarships for believers permanently living in the Land, covering nearly all of tuition for qualifying candidates. 

Israelis would simply pay for room and board. As well, we will be spending much of our time creating relevant resources in Hebrew and English for the Messianic community here in Israel and around the world.  We believe that through the arts, film, and the internet we have a powerful tool to reach the lost with the message of the Messiah, and that that message can be shared and distributed free of charge for the whole body to share.

King’s School of Media covers Digital Arts & Design, Production management, Film, Graphic Design, Media Design, Recording Arts, Show Production & Touring, and Web Design & Development. Our goal is to give each student a rounded experience of the business while helping them discover and develop their strengths.  It’s a two-year program with class enrollment in August and January (for Israeli citizens we’ll be flexible with army duty.). The School will also be continually involved in creating content for and running different shows and events coming through the Pavilion production company getting experience in live stage and television production, on location shooting and producing, editing for international Christian network TV shows and much more as the program develops.  We’ll also be taking them on real world encounters traveling to Europe visiting major production facilities and attending film festivals. Other opportunities will be to take teams to Israeli New Age festivals to contend for the faith, as well as international outreaches in place like Africa and India.

About the Director:

Eight years ago Greg Williams received the call to produce and direct film and television and God quickly set him on the fast track learning hands on while working for a small production company in Texas.  He then moved on to teach film and television at the Center for Creative Media based in Teen Mania Ministries.  They started with only eight students and two staff members. Greg left the ministry in good hands with twelve full time staff and 80 students producing high quality broadcast TV and music videos for Casting Crowns, Skillet, Pillar, and KJ-52.  

Some of Greg’s students have gone on to have successful careers in the secular and christian world; Media Director of IHOP KC, DP for MTV, editors working for ABC, VH1, and GodTV, and some working with various missions organizations. While Greg was at the school he oversaw the marketing, operational structure, directed and produced their large projects and music videos, He also served as the Art director of the program.  About three years into building the program he sensed the Lord calling him to move to Israel, to help Israeli believers fulfill their potential in media.
