To reach and influence the world’s young people by building a global movement fully committed to Jesus by encouraging the next generation to stand with Israel.
Today’s young adults have access to more knowledge and information than any other generation in human history. So the challenge is how to wisely discern and apply this knowledge to their lives and their surroundings. The next generation is confronted with an over-polluted “air” of social, technological, cultural, and religious shifts. One of the main problems is that we are sending them into the world unprepared to face enemies that are more deceptive than ever before.
At ICEJ ARISE, we are entering into the midst of this battlefield with a message that is far from popular and often very misunderstood – the restoration of Israel. The media is feeding the masses with huge doses of a message which far too often derides the Jews and demonizes Israel.
The fact that the majority of young adults have never read the entire New Testament, not to mention the Old Testament, adds to the challenge for all pro-Israel Christians. In these times when “humanism” is invading churches and undermining the credibility of the word of God, it is time for truth-loving believers to step up and answer back.
This does not mean moralizing, patronizing, or introducing complicated theological equations, but loving and serving them as Jesus did. If we want the next generation to immerse themselves in Jesus and understand Israel, it is time to meet this generation where they are and walk alongside them as they understand Israel and their personal God-given callings.
These may be some of the questions you have concerning Israel – and if you do, Uncover Israel is exactly the course for you! In fact, whatever question you have concerning Israel, we believe this course will be of great help to you.
In this, mainly, online course, we will show you from the Bible why Israel ought to be an integral part of the life of both the church and the individual believer.
But since God did not cast away the Jewish people after the cross, we will also teach you about Jewish history, the rise of the modern State of Israel, Jewish society and the Arab-Israeli conflict – and what it all has to do with you.
During the course, you will be given ample time to ask questions – and especially the hard ones. We believe in an interactive learning experience.
Bi-weekly
The online course runs from January 6 to April 14, 2025.
We meet online every other Monday from 18:00-19:00 CET.
Graduation Weekend**
In addition, we will have a final weekend on May 9-11 where we will meet in person in Kristiansand, Norway. This will be a weekend with food and fellowship, praise and worship, preaching and ministering, more studying, and finally a Sunday Service in a great local church.
It is possible to join the course and do the weekend online as well, but we strongly encourage all participants to join us. Digital is good – but nothing compares with meeting face-to-face.
** Accommodation is not provided for the Graduation Weekend and must be arranged on your own.
The course is free.
The cost for the optional in-person graduation weekend (food and accommodation) is $ 140 USD

ICEJ Canada has developed a Scholarship Program for Young Christian Leaders including a packed twelve-day adventure of a lifetime.
We will be selecting six (6) qualified Canadian Young Christian Leaders between the ages of 18-32, who have never been to Israel, to experience the Holy Land where the Bible comes to life. You will learn about the history and current events while doing practical Hands-On projects.
We have designed this scholarship program to guide you in your understanding of this great land and its people, and to immerse you in the culture of Israel as you experience it for yourself. Your journey will begin 5+ months before departure as we equip you to understand the history, complexity and the culture you will be stepping into. We will cover issues like Anti-Semitism, Biblical Zionism and give you tools to understand and wrestle with these important topics. Our hope is that this extra study will give you a greater glimpse into God’s redemptive plan for Israel and make your journey into the land even richer and more breathtaking.
This program will take you on a journey to important key Biblical sites and give you the opportunity to engage with respected teachers and guides as they share Biblical insights, history, current events, and explain true Biblical Zionism. Not only that, but you will also have an opportunity to embark on volunteer service experiences that foster relations between Jewish, Christian and Arab communities.
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem is a truly multicultural organization uniting Christians around the world with a mandate to bless and stand with Israel. The Arise Canada 2025 Scholarship Program and Summer Tour), follows this example and will give you the opportunity to make new friends and experience the land of Israel with young people from all over Canada.
Speaking engagement(s) in Canada/ online will be requested of you as a great way to share what you have learned and experienced during the entire program
