COME & WORSHIP TOGETHER 2026: Over 300 Jewish and Arab Believers Worship Jesus Together in Israel
Updated: Aug 3
More than 300 people gathered in Israel for COME & WORSHIP TOGETHER 2026, OOR Ministry's annual worship event dedicated to celebrating unity in Christ. The evening brought together Jewish and Arab followers of Jesus, believers from different churches, nations, and backgrounds, as well as guests who had not yet placed their faith in Jesus. Together, they witnessed a powerful testimony of the Gospel through worship, fellowship, and the love of Christ.
A Worship Event Celebrating Unity in Christ
We were honored to welcome renowned Messianic worship leaders Joshua Aaron, Shilo Ben Hod, and other talented musicians who led the congregation in worship throughout the evening.
At the beginning of the service, Nizar invited everyone to stand, greet one another, and embrace those around them. As people reached across cultural and ethnic lines, the worship team began singing the words of Psalm 133:
"Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity."
In that moment, the atmosphere changed. God's presence filled the room, and many were moved to tears as hearts opened to His love and peace.
Worship in Hebrew, Arabic, and English
One of the most beautiful aspects of the evening was hearing voices united in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Together, Jewish and Arab believers declared the goodness of God through worship, demonstrating the unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17.
An Arabic-speaking couple shared that it was the first time in their lives they had worshiped alongside Jewish believers. Singing together in three languages completely changed how they viewed their Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ.
"We realized we truly are one family in Jesus," they shared.
A Living Witness to the Gospel
The evening was not only meaningful for believers. Several guests who had not yet come to faith in Jesus also attended the event.
As they watched Jewish and Arab believers worship side by side, embracing one another and praising God together in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, many were deeply moved. They asked how such unity was possible despite the history, pain, and conflict that often divide people in this region.
Healing and Reconciliation Through Jesus
One of the most moving testimonies came from an elderly Jewish woman.
Since the tragic events of October 7, she had found it difficult even to hear the Arabic language or be near Arab people. During the worship service, however, the Lord began healing her heart.
She shared that God reminded her the true battle is not between Jews and Arabs, but against the enemy who seeks to spread hatred, fear, and division. Jesus alone brings forgiveness, reconciliation, and lasting peace.
Watching this transformation unfold was one of the most unforgettable moments of the evening.
The Gospel Brings Unity
At OOR Ministry, we believe that unity between Jewish and Arab believers is not simply an inspiring vision. It is living evidence of the transforming power of the Gospel.
When followers of Jesus from different cultures, languages, and backgrounds worship together, they become a testimony that Christ has broken down every dividing wall and made us one family in Him.
As Jesus prayed:
"That they all may be one... so that the world may believe that You have sent Me." (John 17:21)
Thank You for Standing With OOR Ministry
We are deeply grateful to every volunteer, worship leader, musician, and participant who helped make COME & WORSHIP TOGETHER 2026 possible.
Most of all, we thank Jesus for His faithfulness. He continues to heal hearts, restore relationships, and unite His people across every barrier.
Please continue praying with us as OOR Ministry serves believers throughout Israel and proclaims the hope of the Gospel. We believe this is only the beginning of what God is doing among Jewish and Arab followers of Jesus, and we look forward to seeing even more lives transformed in the years ahead.
