Together we’ll enjoy biblical teaching\, heartfelt worship\, meaningful fellowship\, rest\, and practical training that will deepen our love for the Lord and strengthen our passion for reaching Jewish people with the gospel. \n\n\n\nWhether you’ve served in Jewish ministry for many years or are simply interested in learning more about God’s heart for Israel\, Simcha West is designed to encourage\, equip\, and refresh you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Experience\n\n\n\n\nInspiring Bible teaching centered on Messiah and God’s promises to Israel\n\n\n\nPractical workshops on Jewish evangelism and discipleship\n\n\n\nWorship\, prayer\, and spiritual renewal\n\n\n\nFellowship with believers who share a heart for the Jewish people\n\n\n\nOpportunities to interact with experienced missionaries\n\n\n\nChildcare and youth programming\n\n\n\nTime to relax and enjoy the beauty of the San Bernardino Mountains\n\n\n\n\nStep away from the pace of everyday life and spend a weekend growing in your faith while investing in God’s work among the Jewish people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMitch Glaser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLarry Feldman \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Cohen \n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional speakers will be announced. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheme Verse\n\n\n\n“Brethren\, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for [Israel] is for their salvation” (Romans 10:1). \n\n\n\nPaul’s burden for his Jewish people was more than a theological conviction—it was the cry of his heart.
