About Avi & Chaya Mizrachi
Avi is an Israeli evangelist called to minister the love and life of Yeshua to the people of Israel. He was born in Tel Aviv-Jaffa in a Jewish home. After serving in the Israeli Air Force he decided to visit his sister in America. Avi was the typical young Jewish Israeli with dreams of traveling the world. He planned to explore America, visit Las Vegas and get rich, but the riches he found were of a more lasting kind! When his sister, who had come to faith in Yeshua, invited him to attend a service at her church, he decided to go out of curiosity. He was shocked by what he saw: people who loved God, loved Israel and loved the Jewish people. His heart was touched and he was provoked to jealously. Later, alone in his room, he gave his life to Yeshua and accepted him as Messiah and Lord. In the same year he also met and married his wife, Chaya and they returned to Israel together.
In 1985, God opened the door for them to study at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas and after completing their studies they returned to Israel in 1987. They have been in full-time ministry in Israel ever since. In 1993, the Lord led them to open Dugit as an Outreach Centre in the heart of Tel Aviv, offering free coffee, literature and a listening ear to any visitors.
Avi is a recognized leader in the land of Israel and an international conference speaker. It is his heart’s desire to bring the Gospel to Israelis and to disciple them to become strong believers, rooted and grounded in the Word of God. Avi is also the Senior Pastor of Adonai Roi (The Lord is my Shepherd) – a Messianic Jewish Hebrew speaking congregation in Tel Aviv.
Chaya helps Avi with the ministries of Dugit Outreach Centre and Adonai Roi Congregation. She also raises their 3 girls that still live at home. Chaya is involved in the ProLife movement in Israel where she has given Post Abortion Syndrome Workshops that provide counseling and support to women who are suffering from the trauma that follows abortion.
Avi and Chaya have 4 daughters and 2 grandchildren.
