Build the altar in the Galilee, Israel needs you!

In Scripture, the altar of incense was the place where the prayers of the people rose before God. Heaven itself is filled with "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." (Rev. 5:8)

We are building that kind of altar.

A 24/7 House of Prayer in the Galilee of Israel, where watchmen from the nations and the local community take shifts, day and night, standing in the gap for Israel.

In the midst of war, this is not the time to be quiet. It's time for us to burn brighter!

What do we mean by altar?

According to God’s instructions, there was an altar in the Tabernacle and Temple, dedicated for burning incense only.

What do we mean by incense?

Incense throughout scripture is often connected to prayers.

Check out this scripture that confirms that even in heaven, the prayers of the saints are like bowls of incense.

"Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." Revelations 5:8

I thought you already had a prayer house?

Yes, Vertical Galilee House of Prayer has existed since 2018.

Timeline & History of VGHOP:

2018 - felt the call to start a prayer house

2020 - Due to COVID-19 and persecution from false accusers who attacked us in the Israel media, we chose to cease renovations of our first building/prayer room. Thus we moved the Vertical Galilee House of Prayer nearby (also in Beit Zera Kibbutz) out of the $5M-Aliyah Village we were managing and developing along the Jordan River.

2020 - 2026 - We have had a room dedicated to “Vertical” (Ministering to Elohim) prayer and worship. Many prayer meetings and worship events have taken place in the room, but not consistently.

March 2026 - As the war with Iran erupted, Dean Bye and Chaim Malespin felt it was time to prioritize 24/7 prayer and worship in the VGHOP. With the help of a group from the Netherlands and the USA, prayer shifts began to increase! !

The difference between then and now is that before VGHOP was burning on low. And now, we are building an altar that will burn high!

So this is the plan:

We now have two buildings.

HOUSE #1:

VERTICAL GALILEE HOUSE OF PRAYER (this is the building that we have been operating in for the past several years):

Commit to a prayer watch in the Galilee

PURPOSE:

To host 24/7 prayer and worship
Provide accommodations for prayer warriors from the nations
Coffee and tea station for refreshments
Office for staff

UPGRADES:

Extend the worship room by knocking out the kitchen. This will provide more space for more worshippers to fill the place.
The bedroom behind the VGHOP room will be turned into an office
The entrance will have a coffee and tea bar
Roof repairs from water and mold damage

FACILITIES:

There will be 3 double rooms and two dorm rooms for prayer warriors from the nations to book a stay
Two public bathrooms with two toilets and showers for men and women
Laundry facilities
A balcony for people to rest and fellowship

HOUSE #2:

We just acquired another nearby building that is located a few meters from the Galilee House, which for now we have been calling the Ambassador House.

AMBASSADOR GALILEE HOUSE:

Enlist as a volunteer

PURPOSE:

Home for our Ambassador Academy (2 week discipleship program)
Home for our Pray, Stay, Learn, Serve Program
Location for hosting Shabbat dinners
Kitchen facilities for meals for both houses
Presentation and classroom location

UPGRADES:

Renovate and Install a new kitchen
Renovate a public bathroom for men and women
Renovate private bathrooms that are located in a bedroom
Renovate all of the bedrooms
Renovate and repair the access and shelter room connected to the building
Build a deck for hosting shabbat dinners

The vision is big, the calling is strong, and our desire to honor God through this is our passion!

Will you join us building the altar or prayer in the Galilee? And facilitate discipleship from the place of the great commission?
