STEP 1: GOD’S INVITATION

You are invited to apply for the Zealous Israel Project (ZProject), to join a movement of young people who will encounter God in His Land through compassion, adventure, and revelation.

• To be eligible for the ZProject, you must be a Christian, be 18-30 years old, and you must be interested in serving the Jewish people in Israel.
• The cost of the next ZProject 2025-2026 is US$7,995. Your payment of this cost covers housing, food budget, transportation in Jerusalem, educational materials, and monthly excursions. This does not include airfare, insurance, and personal expenses (i.e. clothes, personal items, eating out, and entertainment).
• Up to ten people are accepted every year for the ZProject. All ZProject members live in shared single-sex apartments.
• All ZProject members volunteer full-time at either our International Headquarters (HQ) or our Jerusalem Assistance Center (JAC). Hours are Monday to Thursday, from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
• ZProject members also attend community growth sessions once a week after hours, which include studies, teaching, worship, prayer, and training. Weekly Scripture discussion and memory are an important part of community growth, as well. A highlight of the ZProject are our monthly excursions, which are taken over a weekend, allowing us to travel around Israel and experience the land.
