Amanda Saxton

As our Young Adults Outreach Coordinator, Amanda Saxton is empowering the next generation to discover God’s heart for Israel and the Jewish people. Before joining the ICEJ USA team, Amanda attended The King’s University in Southlake, TX, and later served on staff with the Admissions and Recruitment team. There, she loved encouraging prospective students to take steps toward fulfilling God’s calling on their lives in service to His kingdom. Over the years, she has been involved in various ministries focused on discipling the next generation, carrying a strong passion for helping young adults grow in their pursuit of Jesus and His Word.

Amanda’s work involves influencing and building a national movement of young adults who are engaged with God’s heart for Israel through outreach strategies, building partnerships with churches and ministries, organizing and leading events and tours to Israel, and creating pathways for young adults to move from interest to active involvement.

Her work with ICEJ flows naturally from the way God has wired her: “I love building relationships with young adults, helping them to feel personally connected to what God is doing in Israel and empowering them to use their voice to speak truth,” says Amanda. “I also love leading trips to Israel with young adults as they experience the land, the people, and the Scriptures in powerful ways.”

That passion was solidified when she went to Israel for the first time on a study trip. “It truly changed my understanding of Scripture and gave me a deeper revelation of God’s heart for Israel. My love for the Jewish people comes from seeing God’s faithfulness to His promises and His covenant with Israel. As a Christian, I recognize the incredible privilege of being grafted into the family of God, and I want to honor and bless my Jewish brothers and sisters.”

Amanda’s favorite verse captures both humility and dependence on God: “For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You” (2 Chronicles 20:12).
