What does it mean to stand in the land of Israel with the heart of a father?

In this episode, Messianic leader and pioneer Eitan Shishkoff shares his journey from the Jesus Movement in California to planting communities of faith in the Galilee.

Through decades of ministry among Israeli Jews and returning immigrants, Eitan has carried a consistent call: to embody the spirit of Elijah by turning hearts, building bridges, and preparing the way for the Messiah.

He shares the story behind Tents of Mercy, reflects on the struggles and beauty of Aliyah, and casts a vision for unity between Jewish and Arab believers within Israel. With humility and hope, Eitan calls the global Church to recognize its connection to Israel - not as charity, but as family.

• Aliyah is Biblical and Now: Jewish return to the land isn’t political - it’s prophetic.
• From Revolution to Restoration: Eitan’s early years in the Jesus Movement sparked a lifelong mission rooted in Scripture and Spirit.
• Unity in Diversity: True reconciliation in Israel means standing with both Jewish and Arab believers, without compromise.
• The Spirit of Elijah: God is turning the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers - across generations and nations.
• Beyond the Headlines: The real story of Israel isn’t found in the news - it’s found in the hearts of those living out God’s promises daily.
