Welcome back to another episode of Five Minutes in Church History.

We've often mentioned that not only do we look at Church History in the past,

but we have to realize Church History is being made right now.

And I have with me in the studio here a history maker.

I have Reverend David Zadok, he's from Israel and he's joined us here in the studio.

Welcome to Five Minutes in Church History.

Thank you. It's an honor for me to be here.

You were born in Israel, but you were raised in Iran.

And you ended up coming to the United States at the age of 16 and studying here in college.

Go back to Israel and then you entered into the military there in Israel.

I believe you've got all the way up to the rank of major.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Okay. And then you ended up going to Westminster Seminary in California.

And now you're back in Israel and you serve as the pastor at Grace and Truth Church.

And you also serve as the director of Hagefin, a publishing company.

And I love the name and Hebrew, that means the vine.

So we'll talk about that in a little bit.

But could we just start with you sharing a little bit about the state of the Christian Church in Israel?

Yeah.

Well, I think the state of the Church in Israel is about the faithfulness of God to His promises and particularly to His covenants.

And the fact that today, after almost 2,000 years after Christ, we can see the Church in Israel is going and maturing the number of believers.
