Our mission is to effectively minister to underserved communities in Israel with excellence, in the name of Yeshua. Since our founding in 2009, we have strategically expanded into various sectors of Israeli society in order to provide practical care and give hope to those who are lacking.

Sharing the Hope of Yeshua Through Practical Action

HaTikva Project 2019

HaTikva Project (The Hope Project) exists to see the Israeli Body of Messiah built up and to serve needy Israelis in the name of Yeshua as we fulfill His commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself.”  Yeshua is the center of all that we do and we commit to being completely open about our faith in every interaction.  We love to say that “we always bring Yeshua in through the front door with us, rather than trying to sneak him in through the back.” Through HaTikva Project, people everywhere have an opportunity to meet the needs of Israeli believers in financial crisis, to provide high quality, subsidized dental care to all of Israel, and to promote and facilitate adoption and foster care.

We believe that Israel is standing in the season of her salvation.  The Lord has brought us back to our land, has begun to soften our hearts, and is readying an outpouring of his holy spirit for the Jewish people.  Now is the time to boldly bring the witness of Yeshua and the message of the Gospel into every area of Israeli society.  We accomplish this by serving the nation with excellence while never compromising the witness of the Gospel through our three departments – HaTikva Aid, HaTikva Dental and HaTikva Families.

About | HaTikva Project

Evan was raised in a Reform Jewish family and came to faith in Yeshua shortly before his Bar Mitzvah at the age of 12.  Guided by a singular passion to see the Jewish people come to faith in the Messiah, Evan has been involved in Jewish ministry throughout his life.  In 2009 Evan and his wife, Elisa moved to Israel and helped to found the ministry, HaTikva Project, where Evan serves as the executive director.  The ministry meets the needs of poor Israeli believers, provides dental care to thousands of patients a year in their dental clinics and promotes and facilitates adoption and foster care in Israel.  Evan is also an accomplished public speaker and worship leader and serves as the worship director of an indigenous, Hebrew-speaking, Messianic congregation in Jerusalem.   Evan and his wife live just outside of Jerusalem with their three children. 

Sarah was raised in a multicultural family, a daughter to third generation Israelis and Midwest Americans. Sarah studied special education at The David Yellin Academic College of Education in Jerusalem and has taught in multiple educational settings over the years. She joined HaTikva Project in 2017 to oversee the growing non-profit’s many administrative needs and her position quickly expanded to include the management of HaTikva Aid, providing direct financial support to Israelis experiencing financial crisis as well as developing other supplemental forms of practical care. Sarah resides in the Jerusalem area with her husband and children.

Rebecca is originally from the US and immigrated to Israel in 2010.  She graduated from the University of Mary Washington in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biology and from Hebrew University in 2010 with an International Master of Public Health (IMPH).  Following graduation, she worked for six years in clinical research as a Project Manager at a laboratory in Herzliya.  She joined HaTikva Project in 2016 to conduct the preliminary research to launch HaTikva Families in 2018 and has since led the department as Manager.  She is passionate about children and families and has a vision to see every child grow up in a loving family.  Rebecca resides just outside of Jerusalem with her husband and three children.
