Dugit is Facing Its Own Exodus

“We recently received news from our landlords—they will not be renewing our lease for the building that has been our home for the past six years. And they have already given the lease to someone else,” shared Avi Mizrachi, Director of Dugit Ministries and Founder of Adonai Roi Congregation. “This building has housed not just Dugit’s offices and one of our Distribution Centres but is also home to our local Messianic congregation Adonai Roi, our beloved prayer tower overlooking Tel Aviv, and our Shelanu TV online ministry.

“In less than 60 days, everything we have built within these walls will need a new home. This decision by our landlords, while shocking, does not surprise us. As Messianic Jewish believers, we are all too familiar with this kind of persecution.”

Some Ultra Orthodox Jewish Groups who see faith in Yeshua as Messiah as a threat to traditional Judaism actively work towards preventing Messianic groups from renting buildings, holding meetings and even discrediting their leaders by displaying posters near their places of work and homes.

Avi continued, “We understand that pressure from outside organizations can often lead landlords and businesses to sever ties with Messianic organizations like ours. This is not the first time we have faced such challenges, yet even in this trial, we remain confident of God’s faithfulness and His plans for us.

“Last year, I was with a group gathered in our prayer tower to intercede for Israel, and during that powerful time of prayer, a man shared an unexpected prophetic word with me: “This building is not your home.”

“At the time, I did not fully understand what it meant, but now it is clear. I believe that God is leading us to something greater - a permanent home that no one can take away from us. A place where we can continue to pray, worship, and proclaim the Good News without fear of displacement.

“I believe God is preparing the perfect home for us to plant roots here in the ground of

Tel Aviv.”

Dugit Outreach Coffee Shop is not affected as it’s in a totally different building that Dugit own but losing the space for Adonai Roi Congregation, the Prayer Tower, Shelanu TV, one of the Foodbank Distribution Centres and the Dugit Offices has a huge impact on the ministry. Let’s pray for wisdom and direction as they search for new premises.
