The goal of our team in Cyprus is to support the Ebenezer International Office to bring as many Jewish people as possible back to Israel, in fulfilment of Biblical prophecy, and to begin a new life in the Land; to prepare the island of Cyprus to fulfil its call to be a place of hospitality and refuge; to undergird in prayer this holy re-gathering of the Jewish people and their stay on Cyprus when this becomes necessary; to provide churches with Kingdom teaching, resources, and encouragement to support and actively participate in this ministry. There are numerous references in the Bible to a latter day exodus of the Jewish people out of the nations and home to the Land of Israel. We believe this timely work of re-gathering and homecoming is holy to the LORD, and should be an important priority for Christians.

Cyprus is the homeland of Barnabas the “son of encouragement”, a generous man full of the Holy Spirit and faith. He sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet. (Acts 4:36-37).

Cyprus has a vast and amazing call from God, and we feel this is key in the work of the Aliyah ministry of Ebenezer. Historical records show that Cyprus has been intermittently the home and refuge of a Jewish community since 722 BC after the Assyrian conquest of Judea. Cyprus, a friend and ally of Israel, is strategically located in the Eastern Mediterranean, and we believe is destined by God to serve as a place of refuge and an important Aliyah hub, receiving from the West and sending on to Israel during the last mass Aliyah.
