Eagle Project – 2016

1 John 2:14

The Eagle Project was initiated by Return to Zion congregation in Haifa, Israel, to serve young adults in Messianic congregations in Israel who have completed their service in the Israel Defense Forces.

This project has a number of purposes, including physical and mental rest, spiritual renewal, discipleship, fellowship, and service to local communities at Norway.

The project’s goals are being achieved through close relationships with local Norwegian congregations, mountain hiking, fellowship with local youth, prayer, worship and teaching.  And at the end, the young adults participate in the International Youth Encounter Conference with a lot of worship, testimonies and lessons.

The project was born in 2015, and it is open to all messianic congregations in Israel. We hope that the Eagle Project will bear fruit and strengthen the young participants, who are the next generation of Israeli congregations.

This year twelve participants, including young people who had just finished their service in the IDF and three soldiers who are still on duty, took part in the project from six different congregations in Israel.

The program was divided into four weeks in Norway and focused on the cities of Oslo, Bergen, Volda and Levanger. 

Together with local communities, we reached our goals through the following activities:
