Visit & See

Come to Israel.
See What God Is Doing.

A ministry-focused visit is different from a tour. Pastors and group leaders bring their churches to pray in the places of Scripture, meet believers who live and serve here, and understand firsthand what God is doing across Israel.

The Ministry Is Happening Now

Across Israel, every week.

This is not an organization that talks about Israel from a distance. Prayer, worship, teaching and fellowship take place regularly in Ra'anana, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Eilat — real communities, meeting week after week, in the Land itself.

Meet Shawn & Tammy

The people behind the ministry.

Dr. Shawn and Tammy Turner have given more than two decades to ministry across the Middle East. Graduates of Jackson College of Ministries, they moved their family overseas in 2005 and have served among the descendants of Abraham ever since.

Their passion is simple: to connect people with their biblical inheritance through faith, and to strengthen the believers and communities of the Land. The ministry has always been carried by churches and friends who partner through prayer, giving and presence — a body, as Ephesians describes, whose every part supplies the whole.

Read Their Story

Why It Matters

Not war and fear — healing, hope and restoration.

The Land carries hardship, but that is not the story we tell. Across Israel we see prayer answered, families strengthened, and communities of faith taking root — quiet, faithful work that outlasts the headlines.

When believers around the world pray and partner with this ministry, they become part of that restoration — a shared inheritance among the children of Abraham.

“For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest.”
Isaiah 62:1

Humanitarian Outreach

Care that meets real need, with dignity.

Alongside prayer and teaching, COAM helps meet practical needs — working through trusted local partners so that support reaches families and communities facing genuine hardship.

We tell these stories carefully. People are never reduced to a fundraising image; help is offered with respect, and shared only where permission allows.
