Medallion is empowering the next generation in Israel by creating dynamic Biblical resources in Hebrew for children and youth, equipping parents and teachers, and passionately discipling young hearts within the vibrant Body of believers in Yeshua.
Read about the ministry ›The first years of life are pivotal in shaping a child’s faith, mindset, and actions. In Israel, there are around 200 congregations with about 4,000 children, all in need of culturally relevant resources to learn and live out the Word of God.
Medallion Israel is passionate about meeting this need, offering a variety of resources in Hebrew to support the next generation:
• Dynamic teaching materials for all ages, used in Shabbat Schools across congregations in Israel.
• Engaging magazines and a children’s website, focused on Biblical living and theology to inspire young hearts.
• Podcasts designed to encourage and equip parents in raising their children in the ways of the Lord.
• Online teacher training courses, as well as hands-on teaching at conferences and one-on-one mentoring.
• Bible-based reading books that teach children about the Scriptures and how to live Biblically.
• Weekly family devotionals based on the Parashat HaShavua (the weekly Torah reading), in Hebrew with translations available in English and Spanish.
• Conferences to empower leaders of children’s ministries and families.
• Community-building events that strengthen relationships and foster fellowship.
• Fun and creative camps where children experience God’s Word in exciting, hands-on ways!
We exist to build, strengthen, and encourage families who believe in Yeshua—first in Israel and then around the world—with a special focus on children and youth. Through a variety of resources, including printed materials, media, events, and more, we aim to see children grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, leading them to salvation. Our mission is to watch them mature into adults who passionately serve the Lord wherever He calls them.
