The PAOC'S Ministry in Israel:

Israel, as a nation, faces conflict on almost a daily basis. It stands against rising pressure from neighboring Arab countries. The Palestinians and acts of terrorism by Islamic groups (Hamas and Hizbollah) are a constant source of resistance and violence.
After 20 years of tenacious and faithful labour, the PAOC has birthed a strong and effective ministry in Israel. The PAOC helped establish the King of Kings Assembly in Jerusalem which is now considered the largest evangelical church in Israel. One English and two Hebrew congregations have been planted in Jerusalem. The King of Kings Assembly is often recognized for their ground-breaking work in the development of praise and worship in Hebrew language.
In 1990, Israel School of the Bible was founded with an English campus in Jerusalem and a Hebrew campus in Tel Aviv. Since the Springs of 1995, the graduates from our Bible school have been involved in many church planting efforts throughout Israel.

Recently King of Kings Assembly purchased Jerusalem's largest movie theatre. Presently this facility, located in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, is being recconstructed. In November 2004 the "Jerusalem PAVILION" will will be completed and will serve as Israel's largest worship and conference center.
