Amir Tsarfati was born in Jerusalem, Israel, to a Jewish family. He grew up in that region and has lived in Israel all his life. While fulfilling his military duty, Amir served as the deputy governor of Jericho, and was part of the unit that negotiated and coordinated with the Palestinians during the Israeli withdrawal from the city. Following his military service, Amir studied at Israel’s School of Tourism at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He worked as a licensed tour guide for Sar El Tours and Conferences, and was eventually promoted to CEO.

While guiding dozens of church groups from all over the world, God convicted him of the great need – particularly within Evangelical Christianity – to explain Israel and its role in God’s plan. In 2001, Amir founded Behold Israel while maintaining his career in tourism. But it wasn’t until 2014 that it became a registered non-profit, allowing Amir to fulfill a greater calling for his life. That is when Behold Israel became a major provider of worldwide real-time access to reliable sources of news and information about Israel from within the powerful context of Bible history and prophecy.

Over the last two decades, Amir’s message has expanded from tour buses in Israel to large platforms around the globe, including conferences, church visitations, and an ever-growing online teaching ministry. Amir is now the author of several books.

Amir is married to Miriam, and together they have four children. His home overlooks the valley of Megiddo (Armageddon), which is a constant reminder of the call that the Lord has placed on him to teach from the Bible what God’s plans are for the end of times.

Pastor Mike Golay is the Director of Operations of Behold Israel. Before this, Mike was the Lead Pastor of Friendship Church in Shakopee, Minnesota, for over 17 years. In addition to his role with Behold Israel, he serves as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve.

Pastor Mike lived and worked in Israel for over eight years and has led numerous ministry teams, including Jesus Film projects in the Galilee region. He is also proficient in Hebrew and has extensive experience with Jewish culture.

Additionally, due to his knowledge and passion for Bible teaching and Israel’s role in prophecy, he frequently teaches in churches, conferences, and Israel tours. He and his Israeli wife have three children and reside in Minnesota, USA.

For over 30 years, Steve Berger’s ministry has been marked by purpose and passion. Steve is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid. As of January 2021, Steve completed a three-year long transition out of the role of Senior Pastor to dedicate his time to ministry outside the church walls. In addition to serving on the Executive and Pastoral Advisory Boards for Promise Keepers, and the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast Board, Steve and Sarah have established Ambassador Services International, a nonprofit ministry that serves the vulnerable in our community and country through acts of love, and has established a discipleship program in Washington DC to educate, equip and inspire statesmen to live with Christ-centered compassion, confidence and courage during their time of public service.
