Arrows from Zion
Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
Contact info for all the ministries included inside the subscription-only Weekly Summary.

Creating music to worship the Lord is the core of Kobi and Shani Ferguson's vision in the Israel Worship Initiative. The past year they have on "our shoe-string budget" completed two Hebrew albums and have four more albums in the works.  Most weeks this prayer summary highlights the efforts of the Israeli ministries in developing the next generation of Israel's pastors, evangelists, teachers, preachers and prophets. But music ministries also need help to grow and mature in producing worship to minister to the Body in the Land and also to reach yet unsaved Israelis.  Read more about the Ferguson's vision to Make a Joyful Noise (in Hebrew) online by clicking this link

You may or may not know this but Shani Ferguson is the daughter of Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram of the Maoz Ministries in Tel Aviv. From the Maoz Ministry we also received a music-oriented ministry letter this week: An invitation to sponsor one of the Holocaust survivors who will be invited to the performances of Handel's Messiah in Hebrew by Messianic composer and conductor David Loden.  Read the details of this inside the Weekly Summary attachment    

In other news from Maoz discusses a new Knesset law "which ensures that no Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria will be forced to evacuate again (like Amona, which was forcefully evacuated last week)."  For this and the ministry prayer requests see inside the subscription only Attached DOCX Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests from Israeli Ministries

Israel Pochtar looks back at all the ministry was able to accomplish from thier distribution center in 2016 with the generous support of those praying and giving into this ministry work.  See the detail of that plus the big "Thank you!" from Voice of Judah and Beit Hallel inside the Weekly Summary attachment    

From Revive Israel we have the part 2 of Daniel Juster's teaching, Approaching the Bible's Teaching on Healing:  "So let us all pray for healing.  Let us build our faith for it. When sickness comes, let us first go to God and pray and seek to receive faith for healing. Let's pray for healing as long as the person is living. However, let us recognize the sovereignty of God in these matters and embrace the whole Bible and its teaching in these matters..."          

For information on the Restore Conference in Maryland in June and a prayer request for a current tour in France by Youval Yanay, see inside the Weekly Summary attachment        

Orna Grinman, A Sign & An Example, has a new blog entry writing, "Tomorrow is the 15th day of the Jewish month Shvat. All over the country people will plant trees, upgrade their yards and gardens, eat fruits and enjoy the fact that we are once again established in our land, able to enjoy it, toil it and reap its fruit. Sixty eight years ago this was also ..". Read more online here

From Avi & Chaya Mizrachi of the Adonai Roi congregation and Dugit, a prayer request for Avi's father, Nessim, who fell from his bed.  He injured his head and face and lost a decent amount of blood.  Fortunately, they were able to get him to the hospital in a timely manner. He has been released from the hospital is doing well. The Mizrachi family would greatly appreciate your prayers for his recovery and a full return of confidence.  Nissim will be celebrating his 89th birthday next week!"

A real testimony of a great healing deliverance, Eddie and Jackie Santoro or the Ahavat Yeshua congregation, have been able to travel to the U.S. for the first time following the discovery a brain tumor in Eddie two years ago.  They will be speaking near Clermont, Florida, as well as in New York (Albany, Kingston and Long Island).  Get information on how to connect with them if you are in those areas inside the Weekly Summary attachment      

Ronit Bender has returned from her month in Perth, Australia with family visits and opportunities to speak in churches, prayer groups, ladies lunches, and Messianic fellowships. Ronit also writes that she shared at " a room in the centre of Perth by the train station where street people, drug addicts and prostitutes have to sit through a service, with worship and a message, before receiving a free dinner. When I got up to speak, a lot were asleep, because of the influence of drugs and alcohol. I clapped my hands and they woke up, and for 10 minutes they listened to a message about the love of the Father, and the power of a hug. Afterwards I offered them a holy hug, and found myself hugging many people. One or two got saved. A report came back that what touched their hearts most, was that we sat down with them and had a cup of tea, and looked them in the eyes. I love things like these. That is where Jesus would have visited too." Read more inside the Weekly Summary attachment   

Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher congregation in Acco, about a recent prayer request "to pray for wisdom regarding the pro life ministry and our counselor here at Harvest of Asher."  Read inside the Weekly Summary attachment what they wrote and how that prayer has been answered to give them guidance in the way forward.   This will give you a great insight on how Pro-Life in Israel differs from the Pro-Life focus in your country - at least it is more practically hands-on than anything I am aware of in the U.S.
