Jerusalem Bible Institute
The Jerusalem Bible Institute (JBI) is the only Spirit-filled, Hebrew-speaking Bible school in Israel.
JBI is a joint effort of many Spirit-filled congregations and ministries in Israel as the need to offer teaching and training in the gifts and fruit of the Spirit has been desperately lacking in the Body in Israel.
With a goal of equipping young believers to have both deep character and spirituality, JBI is the answer to 50 years of prayer by Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram, the founders of Maoz.
Half of the annual budget of $200,000 has already been raised! Your gift of any amount will help us rest assured the school will continue to make a lasting impact in Israel!
Bible School Training
My grandfather, Gordon Lindsay, was 63 when he founded Christ for the Nations (CFN). Despite initial doubts, our family supported his vision. Just three years later, in 1973, he passed away unexpectedly while preparing to speak at the school. My grandmother, Freda Lindsay, took up the mantle, leading CFN for decades, followed by her son Dennis, and now the third generation.
Today, CFN has impacted lives globally through 80 schools, training leaders in ministry, worship, and integrity. Wherever we go, we meet graduates who are changing their communities.
For over 50 years, our family has prayed for a Spirit-filled, Hebrew-speaking Bible school in Israel. Through Maoz, we’ve supported Bible studies, seminars, and Spirit-filled book publishing. Now, we’re thrilled to announce the Jerusalem Bible Institute (JBI), which opened in November, providing a place for Israeli believers to grow in their faith and leadership.
JBI has already raised half of its $200,000 annual budget. Join us in making this vision a reality and equipping a new generation in Israel!
