Hillsong’s vision for a global church and a global family is reaching further and wider with the launch of seven new sites, including its first church plant in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The others are San Francisco, Bali, and one more site in Portugal as well as Perth in Western Australia and Wollongong, south of Sydney. It also announced a new online platform, Church of the Air, for people living in remote Australia to gather together and join in the weekly Hillsong church services by registering and logging on.
“Hillsong church is going to add a room to our church family in ISRAEL,” Hillsong’s Global Senior Pastor Brian Houston wrote on Instagram.
“From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth and from the ends of the earth back to Israel.”
Houston ended his post with the hashtags, #prayforHillsongIsrael and #TelAviv.
The news about Hillsong’s expansion into Israel comes ahead of a Hillsong Worship Experience Israel tour from 18-27 April organised by Hillsong USA. The tour of biblical sites for church members includes worship services in Jerusalem, Galilee and Caesarea led by Brian and Bobbi Houston with music provided by the Hillsong United worship team.
