800 weekly issues so far!
It is a pleasure and an honor to be able to collect ministry letters from Israel each week to share with intercessors in the nations. The whole idea of this ministry was to bring the many diverse ministers of the Gospel in Israel to the attention of Christians in the nations. It was to make the basically hidden Israeli Messianic Jewish ministries known in wider circles. For Christians, often it was to give them the first exposure to the fact that Messianic Jewish Israeli-citizens even existed and ministered in Israel. Also, for those in Messianic Jewish congregations, it was to expose them to ministries beyond the usually handful of connections they were exposed to by their congregations. There is a wide range of ministry going on in Israel and all worth knowing about. A lot has changed in the past 16 years of this Weekly Prayer Summary. Many more Christians in the nations are aware of the body of Messiah in Israel. There are also many more outlets sharing news and information from the Israeli ministries. That's a good thing. That's not something we ever wanted to have exclusivity in doing. Even with great changes in the past 16 years, it seems there is still good reason to continue on with the vision.
We are not at the finish of the need yet.

Despite the alarming conditions that exist around us, very much the "gross darkness" that prophetic scripture says will continue to increase in the times before the Lord's return, there is also the flip side of that prophecy which should give us all hope and the courage to continue to press into all that God wills before the end. "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you." Isaiah 60:2
"For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us. Now He which establishes us with you in Messiah, and has anointed us, is God; Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:20-22

From the Maoz Ministry in Tel Aviv, Katy Smith writes about the controversy that is swirling around the Prime Minister and his wife as to their roles in several incidents being investigating by police. The Netanyahu's are suspected of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Some say the allegations are purely political, but as Smith points out, "Should the Prime Minister be indicted, Israel will find itself in a highly uncomfortable place, and, probably, facing new elections. Whether the Netanyahu's are guilty or innocent, we ask you to PRAY for this situation, because we need order and peace to be maintained between our people." See prayer points inside the Weekly Summary attachment Also, see the prayer request for several big projects Maoz has undertaken, "One we cannot reveal to you because it's extremely sensitive, and you will read about the other in the September issue of the Report."

There is a new report for the House of Victory
rehab ministry in Haifa, led by Eric Benson and an offspring ministry of the
HaCarmel congregation. Benson writes, "It is described in Mark 6:31 as a
day so busy that 'the disciples had no time even to eat.' At this point Jesus
said to His disciples, 'Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a
while.' The staff of House of Victory has as deep understanding of this
passage. We know it through practical experience. In a crisis center, 'there
are many comings and goings.' At times, we can be exhausted. We needed to seize
a moment where we could get together with the Lord and find some rest. We
purposed to find a date on the calendar to run to a secret place." Their
3-man leadership team took a retreat on the shores of the Galilee. Read about
it, plus and update with the men in their rehab program inside the

The Israeli Messianic Marketplace Feature of the Week:
Who is Knocking on my Door?
Managing your painful
thoughts and feelings, so they won't manage you
By Orna Grinman, "Ot OoMofet" ministry,
Israel
Why do we struggle so much with various chronic
problems? Doesn't God promise us a real and lasting victory? Will we only enjoy
it in Heaven? What about now?
Anger, fear, depression, frustration - how come
they are so much more powerful than the “positive” ones? Why do they they take
over our horizon and cause us to forget the good things? The painful thoughts
and emotions affect our decision making and quality of relationships, drain our
strength and resources, and make our daily routine unbearable at times.
“Who is knocking on your door?” answers these
questions, and equips the reader with two extremely efficient tools. These
tools have caused a revolution in the life of the writer, and in those of many
others, ho decided to manage their thoughts and emotions, so that these won’t
manage them.
The booklet is available in
Hebrew, English and Finnish. Can be ordered at otoomofet@gmail.com

NEW
BOOK COMING SOON! A special announcement from Asher Intrater | Global alignment is speeding up... creating a new
synergy for Israel and the church in the end times. Everything is lining up
"...to the ends of the earth" and back again.
The Pacific Island Canoe is connecting to the
Silk Road of East Asia, connecting to the Isaiah 19 highway in the Middle East.
Millions of Muslims are coming to faith in Yeshua the Messiah; and the
Abrahamic Family of faith is being restored as Arab Christians and Messianic
Jews walk in covenant love.
2017: 500 years from the Protestant reformation and Ottoman conquests;
100 years from the British mandate; 50 years from the reunification of
Jerusalem and the Charismatic renewal.
2018: 70 years from the birth of the State of Israel
2040: The current Hebrew calendar comes to an end; Islamic Ayatollahs
predict the total annihilation of Israel.
We are entering into a final transition age similar to the book of Acts.
The apostolic and the apocalyptic are converging. Biblical pattern is becoming living prophecy.
Alignment leads to revival; the manifest glory of God will rest on the city of
Jerusalem and the people of God everywhere. The nations of the world will be
lined up on one side or the other. Watch the
video message from Asher
