Martin Sarvis in Jerusalem also writes this week about the Global Gathering In Jerusalem, "The Lord has spoken to us that this year (2016) will be the final stages of a season of great transition for His body. This has been a time in which the Lord called His family [body] together in unity, despite diversities that have historically caused separation. We have witnessed the body of Christ uniting as one family to behold the manifestation of the army of the Lord as in Joel 2:11 .... The family of God is being restored in a sovereign way; even now, the Lord is doing for us what we have not been able to do for ourselves. We are watching Christian Arabs and Messianic leaders from many streams and denominations walking together as one. This is the fulfillment of Isaiah 19:23-25 "  Read more, plus prayer requests inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary.  Watch LIVE here

Congratulations are in order for the HaTikva Project who are celebrating their first year of operation of the HaTikva Dental Clinic in Jerusalem. Evan Levine writes,  "Two years ago we started with a vision, a year ago we opened a fledgling practice, and now we are the primary destination for dental care for the needy in Jerusalem. We have performed over 2000 treatments and are looking to add additional staff in the near future. Please be in prayer for us as well as we seek opportunities to open a second clinic in a different region of Israel. This work has been too blessed to stay only in Jerusalem."  Read more from the ministry which seeks to "Help the poor while advancing the kingdom" inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary

If you are a FACEBOOK person, then truly you ought to connect with Ron Cantor to watch Ron's Out of Zion daily broadcast on GOD TV is also shared on his FACEBOOK page  It is fantastic!  Ron writes, "We were filming Out of Zion in the Old City, right next to the Western Wall. Suddenly I felt the presence of God like I have not felt since we started filming. I was sharing, but it was like I was in another dimension. A small crowd gathered and then an Orthodox Jewish man said something to me I never expected. I wrote a blog about it.  He also wrote about an archaeological find at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher Breakthrough at Yeshua’s Possible Tomb

Eric Benson of the House of Victory in Haifa, writes about the Sex Shop that just opened for business right next door to the outreach in Tel Aviv they work out of reaching substance abusers and those in the sex industry.  It was probably something the devil meant to discourage their outreach efforts by. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will upset their business as usual with unusual spiritual visitations on those who enter that darkened sphere.

Eric gives a report on several men who have come to their rehab center, not all successes, but some wonderful life turnarounds too.  Read it inside the attached DOCX Weekly Summary along with his report on other great things going on in their ministry.

Here are just a few of the great articles and resource materials that KehilaNews.com have been sending out over the past couple of weeks:

Jerusalem Interfaith Conference: Ecumenically Correct, Intellectually Dishonest | Hannah Weiss | "When Buddha Met Abraham" was the byline chosen for the Interfaith Conference hosted by Israel's Foreign Ministry from September 11 to 15 in Jerusalem.

Israelprayer: It is really interesting from a spiritual standpoint that while the Asian Body of Christ is increasingly reaching out to join in relationship with the Messianic Remnant of Israel - a spiritual vision directly from the Throne of God in Heaven - that a religious vision NOT from God is also underway between Eastern religions and Israel. The devil always has a counterfeit of whatever God is initiating spiritually in the Body of the LORD on the earth. God calls for unity in Messiah, misguided religionists call for religions of COEXIST. Sounds tempting, but it is a ditch.

British funds to PA suspended due to terror victim Kay Wilson's activism | Bat-El Leonard | Six years after she was viciously stabbed and her friend killed in a terror attack near the Jerusalem Forest, Kay Wilson has succeeded in convincing the British government to halt the transfer of funds to the Palestinian Authority, claiming the Palestinians use the money to finance terrorism.

The pot and the kettle | David S. | David writes, "To our great sorrow both Israel and the Christian Church and have been a very “mixed bag,” reflecting El-ohim and Christ rather intermittently and dimly throughout the centuries."

The Miracle of Israel | Excerpts from message given at the Maoz Ministries Pastor’s Conference “One in Messiah” in Jerusalem.   

For many pastors in the Western democratic countries, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict raises issues not easy to solve. In churches large and small, an important part of their members are young, vibrant and active millennials.

Millennials, as we all know have a passion for justice for all things and all peoples. And they attend universities which advocate and promote the Palestinian narrative. Therefore, these Christian millennials who innocently want to help Palestinians, end up buying into a very anti-Israel Islamic agenda - of which, in reality - they have nothing in common.
