Our stand
Introducing GOD News™ — Global news. Israel at the heart. Kingdom perspective.
GOD News™ is an international Christian news platform within GOD Media Network, dedicated to Jesus Christ and rooted in Scripture.
We report on Israel, the nations and matters of faith with accuracy, context and compassion. We pursue truth, uphold human dignity and bring hope without ignoring suffering or difficult realities.
We honour God’s faithfulness to Israel and the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. We stand firmly against antisemitism and the dehumanisation of any people, and seek to listen to Jewish voices with humility and respect.
Our faith calls us to verify carefully, distinguish fact from opinion and biblical reflection, acknowledge uncertainty and correct mistakes openly.
We welcome readers of every faith and none, while remaining clear about the Christian convictions that guide our work.
Truthfully reported. Biblically grounded. Compassionately told.
To God alone be all the glory.
“I will bless those who bless you …
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”Genesis 12:3
Serve with us
Our Mission & Partners
Prayer, Hebrew Scriptures and partnership — supporting the work behind the reporting.
Bless Israel
Blessing Israel means standing with the people of the covenant, whom God has never forgotten (Romans 11:29). We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, show practical love and gladly share the hope we have found in Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah of Israel — as an open invitation, never as pressure. Through content, prayer and Hebrew Scriptures we make the Good News available to anyone who wishes to explore it, and we stand alongside Messianic believers across the land.
לברך את ישראל פירושו לעמוד לצד עם הברית, שאלוהים מעולם לא שכח (רומים יא:כט). אנו מתפללים לשלום ירושלים, מגלים אהבה מעשית ומשתפים בשמחה את התקווה שמצאנו בישוע, משיח ישראל — כהזמנה פתוחה, לעולם לא כלחץ. באמצעות תוכן, תפילה וכתבי הקודש בעברית אנו מנגישים את הבשורה לכל מי שמבקש להכיר אותה, ועומדים לצד מאמינים משיחיים ברחבי הארץ.
