Elijah & Moses Arrows from Zion 9/4/2019

Norma Sarvis in Jerusalem shared a word of encouragement about the meaning of the letters/numbers in the Hebrew calendar for the upcoming decade of the 80's. At the end of September, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, will mark the of year 5780 through the decade to 5789. She called her article, The Decade for Declaration.

A Decade for Declaration

5780-5789
A Decade for Declaration
by Norma Sarvis, Jeruslem

As we are approaching Rosh Hashanah at the end of September, I began to think about the new decade. During the past ten years (5770-5779 in the Hebrew calendar), the number for each of the years ended in the 70’s. In the Hebrew letter-number system, “70” is represented by the letter ע. This letter is called ayin, and it is one of several letters in the Hebrew alphabet whose spelling and pronunciation happen also to correspond to a Hebrew word. Besides spelling the 17^th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Ayin also spells the Hebrew word for ‘eye.’ And so, throughout the past ten years our minds have been repeatedly reminded, continually drawn to the importance, the necessity, of seeing—of looking with heavenly vision. “In Your Light, we see light” (Psalm 36:9).

Now, remarkably, we find ourselves on the brink of a new decade whose number also happens to spell a word! On the last day of September we will shift into the Hebrew year 5780, beginning a “decade of 80’s.” The Hebrew letter for “80” is פ – pronounced peh. Besides spelling the 18^th letter of the alphabet, peh is also the Hebrew word for mouth! And so, in just over a month, we will move from a decade which drew attention to the eye, into ten years of awakening an awareness of the mouth!

I felt the Lord saying that this will be a decade of ‘declaration’. Declaration over ourselves, over our families, our churches, our nations, our neighbors. What we declare with our mouths, what we speak, what we say, will be key for victory and for advancing the Kingdom.

Here are some ways that these declarations may work:

Arrows from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries by subscription only donna@israelprayer.com

From the Morning Star Fellowship in Tiberias led by Claude & Michelle Ezagouri, they are giving praise to God for the children & youth summer camps, and for new people who have joined the fellowship - some are driving from out of town to worship with them. One of the outreaches that is opening surprising opportunities to share are their 'clean up crews' who go out into the city to clean up litter and beautify the area. Locals are very interested and want to know why. They are involved in organzing regional worship meetings. Please pray for that and so for the drop in donations as it will force them to make drastic cuts in their expenses. "We don't want to cancel the activities pertaining to the vision that the Lord has given us but if this trend persists, the long term picture looks rather grim. Please pray that we may have wisdom from Him to rebalance our budget intelligently. We trust the Lord to provide all our needs according to His riches in glory."

An amazing testimony from a new sister who just joined the congregation who was delivered from a very serious disease. She is now evangelizing through the internet to a wise audience involved in Satanism, with several having given their lives to the Lord. Please pray with Morning Star for her! Also for a couple of families who recently made aliya but the Interior Ministry is not making it easy for them. For more, please contact the ministry directly, or read in the Weekly Summary subscription.

Evan Glasser of the HaTikva Project is continuing to praise God for the last 10 years of operation. VIDEO "We had a dream for HaTikva Project and God made it a reality. Today is a big day because we see 10 years of God’s faithfulness and we are humbled. The past is important, but even more important is the future. God is faithful, and we trust him for whatever comes next. Let’s do this together." HaTikva posts many updates on Facebook on what they are doing.

Ronit Bender is a wonderful example of how believers in Israel are reaching their community as they are just obedient to God in their daily routine. She shares about buying a lunch on her way to a lunch date with a friend, then after lunch God showed her who she was to give the lunch to on the bus. It turned out to be someone she had once known, who had just that day cried out to God to show her that He had not forgotten her. Ronit's extra lunch was the sign that brought the woman to tears. Another, a friend from her youth who has many questions about Ronit's faith. Pray for the lady's salvation. And the security guard where she goes to swim, a man sad from many of life's losses, is hearing her testimony...pray for him also. Ronit's encouraging report is a blessing. Pray for her as she travels to Australia on 8/27, then after a brief time back in Israel onto Holland 11/8. We have been praying for Ronit's leaking heart valve and altho she is cleared to travel, let's keep her health in our prayers too.

From Maoz Ministries, Shani Ferguson writes, "From childhood, I had watched my parents build a ministry that impacted much of the Body across Israel and even secretly in areas of the Middle East. Kobi and I had watched them outlast tidal waves of opposition and survive the swirl of challenges that come with success. Kobi and I want to see that hard work bear fruit decades from now."

Israel Pochtar sends a prayer alert for the "Decisive National Elections in Israel"...."Currently there is neither coalition nor opposition in Israel - just a transitional government. You can sense the nation of Israel vibrates with thirst for change.... Israel needs prayers as never before! This nation has a complex history, a challenging present, but a very clear calling for her future. As messianic believers in Israel we see the critical times we're living in, and how the course of our nation impacts the rest of the world. It is time for us to unite as followers of Yeshua and stand in prayer for this small nation with such a big calling. We encourage you to pray with us for the upcoming elections this 17th of September, which will determine so many things, not only for Israel, but globally." For the full report, see the Weekly Summary subscription, or connect directly with Israel Pochtar on Facebook.

In a great testimony from their AWAKE youth conference, Israel shares about a young girl who was brutally assaulted 2 days before the conference and reluctantly attended. She had been seriously considering committing suicide, but during the even received such deep healing from God she said "she had regained something she felt was lost and knew the Lord had given her the strength to continue." This is why the ministries of Israel are so important! Yeshua is saving Jewish people NOW!

We also got in a great report from Rick Ridings at Succat Hallel about their summer youth conference that turned out 120 Israeli, Palestinian, Arab, and International youth. He writes, "We also had more Arabs sign up to participate in the conference than in past years. Praise the Lord!" In another direction, Succat Hallel hosted a Latino Coalition for prayer over governments in Israel and the nations. " God is in the midst of shifting nations! Don’t give up hope! There have already been many answers to prayers and unity is coming! Besides the prayer event, a teaching on fasting by Lou Engel was hosted in Ariel where we prayed for the release of a Schindler anointing, and then joined us the next day at Succat Hallel to speak and pray."

Carmel congregation pastor Dani and LuAnne Sayag put a spotlight on the 9/17 elections. "Many in Israeli society would prefer a unity government to reflect the people of Israel, and not a right-wing government that is made up largely of the ultra-religious parties. The coming government of Israel will need to stand up to great challenges in the areas of security, finance, and welfare, and somehow unite the people." Reminding of 2 Kings 6, the story of the prophet Elisha and the Arameans (Syrians), Sayag encourages us: "Similarly in our lives, sometimes we find ourselves surrounded on all sides by different kinds of difficulties and impossible situations. God wants to encourage us to know that, "those who are with us are more than those who are with them!" For the full prayer requests, subscribe directly to the monthly ministry letter, or read in your subscription to the Weekly Summary.

Refreshed from a time away in Switzerland with their children, Revive Israel's Cody and Liat Archer are happy for the time away with God to restore their souls. "We are learning little by little how to slow down and rest. This is not easy in Israel. We were immediately reminded of this within a few hours of our return as we saw people yelling at each other over a parking spot, honking car horns for people to get out of the way… The constant tension can be wearying. We realize more than ever how necessary it is for us to regularly take a step back, see from God's perspective and be filled with His love anew. The Lord spoke a number of things to us over this summer about this next year which we will share about in future emails."

Chuck Cohen Intercessors for Israel in Jerusalem sends Friday Prayer Points 8/30/2019 Points covered are Education: Schools start in Israel | Israel's current war vs. Iran| Hizbullah and Iranian forces are now in Syria | Gaza reaped what it sowed | Judea & Samaria, aka the West Bank, Israel's biblical heartland | Bibi Netanyahu, PM & DM (Defense Minister) | Elections

Revive Israel has VIDEO Fall Feasts Explained (Cody & Asher), plus Asher's VIDEO Blindsided By Evil, when we are harmless as doves, sometimes we are blindsided by what 'serpents' stir up against us! Ariel Blumenthal's article Discerning the Body of the Lord identifies what was happening in the Corinth congregation: "...a failure to apprehend the power, sanctity, and authority that God intends to be present in the weekly meeting of the saints." Also, here is a way to show your support of Revive & Tikkun Global with a "One New Man" Revival Time Hebrew Watches. Great gifts for lovers of Israel.

The Kerem-El congregation is a daughter of the Carmel congregation & is led by Daniel & LuAnn Sayag, Yonatan Arnold and Stefan & Keren Silver (This is also the congregation of our friend Ronit Bender). In late summer the congregation hosted special events: a first-of-its-kind intercongregational panel, as well as our annual culture night. The pane l was to express A Solidarity Evening with Ethiopian Believers following the recent outcry from Ethiopian Jews in Israel after a man was killed by police. "We are grateful that the Lord allowed us to be instruments of peace in His hands." For Culture Night, they celebrated the diversity of the melting pot that Israel is after Jews from the nations have returned to their homeland.

It strikes me that before the Jews were scattered to all the nations, they did not know the joy of all the cultures across the world. Their world was tightly closed to their own traditions. Now as God is re-gathering Israel from all the nations, they are going back in with international flavor. It presents challenges, but followers of Yeshua should be the MOST receptive and appreciate of the diversity. This is surely meant to impact Israel's destiny and calling: “the nations of the world will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3) and "As you have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong.” (Zechariah 8:13)

For all the news from Kerem-El, read it in the Weekly Summary, or by connecting directly with the ministry.

Marianna Gol sends an update on the Streams in the Desert ministry to widows and orphans with a great report on their summer camp for 64 teens. Also Marianne is informing of some changes: 1, they have started a children's program, and 2, there are some upcoming staff changes as one couple are leaving the ministry in March. Pray for this ministry in the Negev.

A new ministry letter from Tents of Victory in S'derot after a "terror-ridden summer that saw hundreds of rockets being fired by hate-filled terrorists in the Gaza strip, incendiary balloons scorching the local fields, violent March of Return demonstrations along the security fence, as well as several infiltration attempts. The close by S'derot villagers are suffering from the mental/emotional stress of being in the line of fire and Tents of Victory are pouring themselves out to help in every way. If you can't imagine what they are going through, please subscribe to their mailing list to get an understanding of what a humanitarian work this is - and it is being done in the name of Yeshua. Learn more at the website

Arni & Yonit Klein of Emmaus Way write about their recent 39th 10-day Galilee Worship Gathering and some of the spiritual experiences that come out of it. "The Word of the Lord to us was clear. Go out into the desert – to the wilderness. (The Hebrew word for desert – “midbar” – actually means “from words/things”). Come away from words and things. It was about healing, repentance, and cleansing from mixture. Spiritually speaking, mixture is the combination of that which is born of the spirit and eternal with that which is carnal and temporal. It is attempting to fulfill God’s purposes with the arm of flesh, with human strength and man’s wisdom."

They also write of changes forced by visa restrictions on their ministry associates, the Winkler's, which they will lose for at least several months as legal filing for a new type of visa takes place. So, in the meantime, that means the potential for an English speaking worship gathering later this year is out. Also there a new arrangements for giving from Germany, so contact the before 9/30th for details of the change.

Urgent HEALING Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue

Please keep in prayer these Israeli ministry leaders and believers with urgent health needs

CONTINUE to PRAY for the urgent healing needs of Jacob Damkani | Ronit Bender sends this update: My cough is gone mostly, my heart valve is still leaking but my lungs are fine. I totally have peace about my health, although it is far from great. I still appreciate prayer, as I need it. I am very grateful they let me travel in October and November both to Australia and Holland. Please continue to pray for Ronit | Shlomy Abramov of Awake Israel, because of a condition where blood does not flow to his legs as it should, was advised by a specialist in case of injuries, he could lose his leg because of the blood flow issues. Shlomy has to wrap his legs daily because of the blood flow issues. Please pray for Shlomy | Ruth Nessim has recovered from a strong 2-month bout with Sciatica, but her most critical prayer need which she says may required an operation. Please pray for Ruth in Nahariya| Olga Bikas’s health condition that seems to have become chronic, with no hope from the doctors for any improvement in the future. This, no doubt, puts an additional emotional and physical burden on our family. Please pray for her acute back pain. | Rania Sayegh asks for prayer of restoration of strength, energy, and complete healing.

Here's My 2¢ These are the Days of Elijah & Moses

In 2005 I stood on the precipice of the cliff in Nazareth where a crowd of people from Jesus' hometown tried to push Him over the cliff because they didn't like what He said. What had He said? He said what He knew to be true after reading from the Scriptures. This infuriated people.

The Holy Spirit has been showing me what was going on there.

Making Room | Arrows From Zion 8/28/2019

The photograph of the Dead Sea came from Revive Israel but it is also the perfect illustration
of Avner Boskey's points below. As the scripture for Avner's Final Frontier Ministries asks,
"What will the Jewish people's acceptance of Yeshua result in but life from the dead?"
Romans 11:15

Shalom friends, I had 7 more prayer letters come in than I could get into this issue but will include them next week. While I have you here, I would just like to make an appeal to my subscribers to consider making a modest monthly commitment to financial support of this ministry. I do dedicate many hours over several days every week to providing this information. As the scripture says, "The workman is worthy of his hire."

Making Room in the Bible for the Jewish People
by Avner Boskey, Final Frontier Ministries

What will the Jewish people's acceptance of Yeshua result in but life from the dead?

Romans 11:15

The Bible is chock full of prophecies specifically given to the Jewish people. What happens when Gentile believers re-interpret those Jewish promises away from the Jewish people? Most Christian use of Scripture ignores its Jewish context and simply replaces it with a Gentile Christian context. This is Replacement theology, practically speaking. Even my best friends do this on a daily basis.

Let’s look at this problem, and then try to bring some biblical balance. The Bible says that cursing, making light of or ignoring the Jewish people is a biblical no-no (see Genesis 12:3; Jeremiah 30:17). Is there a more excellent way of using the Jewish Scriptures – one that will not separate the Jewish people from their promises, while at the same time allowing Gentile believers to apply the relevant spiritual principles to their own lives?

A diamond is forever | The Apostle Paul gives us a solid foundation for understanding and using the Jewish Scriptures: “From the standpoint of God’s choice they (the Jewish people) are beloved for the sake of the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) – because the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:28).

Simply put, all of the promises originally spoken over the Jewish people still apply to the Jewish people. They are all valid prophecies and they will certainly come to pass for the sons and daughters of Jacob. These promises, like diamonds, are forever. They are the family jewels of Jacob’s children.

Staying honest | How are we to honor the original and lasting intent of the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15) in our teaching, preaching and calls to intercession? Whenever we use a Scripture passage which talks about Israel, let’s ask ourselves some basic questions:

To whom is this passage written? In most cases the answer will be ‘to the Jewish people’

What does this passage teach or explain about the Jewish people? What is God saying to Israel?

What can you do to communicate God’s message to Jewish people?
What encouragement can be drawn for your own life situations and challenges based on who this covenant-keeping God is?

Discovering that the Bible really is a Jewish book | If nearly all of the Bible’s prophecies are about the Jewish people, God must have a reason for that.

God is calling for a radical reformation in the Body of Messiah. His challenge to us all – can we let the Bible mean what it says? Will we allow those prophecies to breath, giving honor to God’s word by honoring His original intent?

“Does that prophecy actually refer to the Jews and their destiny?” (first illustration) | A movement of worship and intercession is spreading across the planet. Christian believers are glorifying the God of Israel and calling on Him to bring repentance, renewal and revival to their own nations. Scripture passages are often drafted and pressed into the service of these movements. A closer look at these passages almost always reveals that the verses used are actually prophesying specific destiny over the Jewish people.

One example is Isaiah 60:1-3, 12, 14: “Arise, shine; for your light has come and the glory of YHVH has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples. But YHVH will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising … For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly ruined … The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you, and all those who despised you will bow themselves at the soles of your feet. And they will call you the City of YHVH, Zion of the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 60:1-3, 12, 14)

This passage is not a declaration that the church will bring revival to other Gentiles. It is definitely a declaration that Israel will bring revival to all the nations (which is part of her prophesied destiny; see Romans 11:12, 15).

[Click here to read ALL of the excellent illustrations and points Avner makes, it will lead you to his website article which is a MUST READ!....I will give you the conclusion below, but all of his illustrations are need-to-know.]

Mañana (tomorrow) is good enough for me | One of our ministry emphases focuses on the urgent need to equip believers – so that we will all be pro-actively ready for the restoration of Israel. Occasionally some believers respond to the challenges with these words:

There are differing viewpoints on these matters. A focus on the Jewish people will only cause division

It’s not yet time to talk about these things publicly

It’s more spiritual to focus on Gentile needs than on Jewish destiny and biblical priority

Brothers and sisters, the time for hesitation’s through. Let’s stop the delaying tactics. Let’s own up to our lack of prophetic courage. “For the eyes of YHVH move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His” (2 Chronicles 16:9) “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)

Let the Jewish people back into their own tent | In your devotions, in your Bible reading, in your preaching and teaching, allow the Jewish people into your tent. According to Romans 11:24 it is actually their own tent –“their own olive tree”. But do make room for the Jewish people, and allow them back into their own Bible, their gifts and their calling.

How should we then pray?

Pray for the eyes of believers worldwide to be opened to the Jewish Scriptures and the calling of Israel

Pray for pastors, teachers and spiritual leaders to receive and be obedient to this revelation
Pray for Messiah Yeshua to be revealed to and accepted by many hungry Jewish hearts
Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth

Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.

Arrows from Zion
Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries by subscription only donna@israelprayer.com

The weekly prayer requests from Maoz ministries in Tel Aviv kick start us with a plethora of issues Israel is facing at this time: please pray for safety and protection over our soldiers and civilians; security at the borders; divine guidance for our leaders and commanders, courageous in decision-making. Pray for the LORD to lead Israel in the Sept 17th elections. They ask prayer for the continued transition of leadership from the Sorko-Rams to their seasoned, younger generation Kobi and Shani (Sorko-Ram) Ferguson. For all their projects to aid the whole body in Israel, plus a special request for a sticky situation at the printer of their books translated into Hebrew: they are asking for prayers for God to intervene in that situation.

Last week in his personal Restoration from Zion ministry letter, Daniel Juster said of his Five Pillars message: "I do now believe that this message is a life message that I am called to spread in every way possible for as long as I live." Juster explained the five major pillars as "the keys to understanding the last days and the return of Yeshua. Now, here is a recent video of Dan Juster teaching on the Five Pillars.

Dan also makes an appeal for donations toward their upcoming ministry trip to Singapore Sept 15-20. "...we still need to raise $4,000 to cover expenses. This trip to Singapore is part of the preparation for an international convocation in Jerusalem in 2022 under the Towards Jerusalem Council II project." They pay their own expenses to participate in this work.

Eric Benson is the head of the House of Victory ministry that was established out of the Carmel congregation years ago by David Davis. Benson sends news of a heartening kind involving the two olive trees that were planted in memorial of Davis' passing - the two olive trees representing the "one new man". You can read this and all the personal testimonies of the men that the Beit Nitzachon ministers to by subscribing directly to their prayer letter, or through my Weekly Summary subscription.

Intercessors for Israel's Chuck Cohen sends Friday Prayer Points 8/23/2019 for Israel's current government, Elections, Security re:Gaza, Judea & Samaria, Lebanon/Syria, Iran, Aliyah, the Israeli body of Messiah

Ron Cantor is hardly new to this prayer list but these were interesting so here is a little about Ron giving his ministry history and also a super short list of resources, like an episode from his GOD TV Out of Zion program; a video about the last tour of Israel they conducted; from his books read two chapters of Identity Theft and also 2 from Leave Me Alone—I'm Jewish; his blog and ALL of our videos

Also I thought this from another email of Ron's (he is prolific!) was really IMPORTANT: "I believe with all my heart that the issue of Israel will be as divisive as abortion in the end-times. Yeshua is not returning for an anti-Semitic bride. Now, we see how two Muslim women have hijacked the democratic party. Despite their history of anti-Semitic tweets and comments, the Democratic party refuses to rebuke them, and is now defending them. Israel has always enjoyed broad support from both Republicans and Democrats, but it seems things are shifting. We must pray!"

A few months ago Martin Sarvis sent in an email that they were going to be doing their ministry letters differently going forward and this week we have received a taste of new way forward in the form of "A Word of Encouragement from Norma for 5780 | 5780-5789 | A Decade for Declaration". In the past you probably have not received much input from Norma in this prayer summary because it has mainly been the excellent news analysis and Torah readings from Martin, but Norma is a "mother in Israel" and has been a major spiritual contributor to many things going on in the Land from the Katzir youth camps to women's gatherings. In this ministry letter Norma gives her spiritual insights into the decade we are about to enter into in the Hebrew year 5780 at Rosh haShanah. The Hebrew letter for “80” is פ – pronounced peh. Besides spelling the 18^th letter of the alphabet, peh is also the Hebrew word for mouth! So the decade of the "80's" will be a decade with emphasis on what we declare with our mouths, what we speak, what we say, will be key for victory and for advancing the Kingdom.

Israel Pochtar wrote something about their AWAKE Israeli Youth Conference that hit me as super important: "...it is really up to us to decide how to best invest in our young people: we can either equip them for the battles ahead, or we can choose to ignore the tremendous need of this nation's youth... for which this country will pay later. We made sure to align our vision and our heart with God's; by sowing into our youth."

Donna: That is true for all of us, but the rubber really meets the road in Israel which is why you see children graduating from high school there and going right into places of responsibility greater than themselves in mandatory service in the Israeli military — boys and girls. In the US, children are infantilized until they are well past college age, but in Israel the existence of the nation depends on them stepping up to adult responsibility at the real end of childhood. This is my soapbox, but I believe if we seed financial support into the programs like this for Israeli young people - all the camps, programs and fellowships with this type of vision for strengthening the young Messianic believers to take their places valiantly and spiritually in heart-sync with God, it is also releasing a blessing to our own children and grandchildren. ("I will bless those that bless you")

Pochtar also wrote about a new home group for pre-teens and their First Time to School in Israel - Children's Project aimed at blessing especially children of newly immigrated families Donate here

In the Revive Israel letter this week Asher Intrater writes about the Five Big “All’s” that are major trends as we move into the End Times. (Ironically I've had a start on the 6 times Paul said, "I would not have you ignorant"... shares some similar ground).

Also videos in Revive: Dan Juster's Failure to Govern, Cody Archer & Asher Progression of Apostles in the New Covenant and a report from the Return to Zion Haifa (Eagle) Nesher Project for raising up young people as the next generation of leaders in Israel.

From KehilaNews.AllIsrael.com/ A report on the Second All Israel Conference held in Singapore: Building spiritual bridges; also One for Israel answers the question "unlike most Western countries, you will not find a single Messianic congregation that supports gay marriage in the whole of Israel. Why is that?" in Israel and homosexuality

On Facebook One for Israel had an article of great interest to me The Symbolism Of Figs In The Bible, because I have a blog called Fruit of the Fig Tree based Proverbs 28:18 "Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit". It is an expectation of my ministry that this is a promise from God. There is FRUIT to be eaten from the fig tree - which I see as the redeemed Remnant of Israel -- spiritual fruit that is available from that source, but only to the Christians who are keeping, tending, guarding, caring, nurturing the redeemed Remnant of Israel are able to eat the fruit from them. This is spiritual fruit that God has given to the whole body of the LORD in the earth, but to eat of it, we have to become one new man which means Christians have to receive the fruit by keeping, tending, guarding, caring, nurturing the redeemed Remnant of Israel.

Joel Jelski, who is now with Tikkun Ministries and working under the mentoring of Eitan Shishkoff in northern Israel, writes about his summer in North America traveling with Eitan for Fields of Wheat, visiting with his wife's family in Mexico...a blessed time, he writes. He also catches us up to date on the last Katzir Youth Camp of which he is an alumni who is now leading the camps forward under Eitan's oversight for a new generation of Israeli teens. He is back to preparations for the Olive Tree Discipleship program and tells us a little about doing an outreach for Syrian refugees in another Middle Eastern state. Joel is another of those promising young adults who have shown themselves to be chosen by God for the work of the ministry from the time they were teens into raising their own families. Thank God for all the Israeli ministries have done in emphasizing spiritual ministry to their own young people.

Howard Bass at the Yeshua's Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva also writes about the summer camps for their young people coming to an end and hearing testimonies from them as they now make preparations for the next phase of their lives. He asks that prayers be made for them to be led by the Holy Spirit in all their choices and decisions. He also writes, " This Shabbat weekend, 23 of the young adults are spending the time together at one of the beaches on the Mediterranean coast near Ashkelon, accompanied by the Chapman family of seven more who have been very active and influential in building up the lives of many of them. Randi and I are very encouraged to hear from a some of these key people that they sense a calling to remain in Beer Sheva, and we pray also at what has been their home congregation growing up together. Humanly speaking, the future of the congregation somewhat depends on this. Please continue to keep this in your prayers until the work is done. Also a new writing from Howard regarding all the recent funerals.

Hasdey Yeshua in Arad write about the Hassidic sect attempting to take over public bomb shelters that when not utilized for war serve as use for clubs and other activities. They see these shelters as as potential free synagogues and yeshivas (the city pays all the utilities) and have been aggressively trying to take over possession of many. It has been a real battle for the Arad city hall and police to deal with and it gives you insight into the mindset of the religious group: they see Arad as belonging to them and hold all others in disdain, especially including the Messianic believers there. This is why we have seen so much trouble in Arad over the past 20 years. Pray for the spiritually blind religious Jews and prayer for God to limit their power as this congregation well notes: this "cult reaches up to the highest levels of government" (specifically Ya’akov Litzman, self-proclaimed leader of the Gur in Arad and Aryeh Deri, "the Interior Minister and he hates believers, especially Messianic Jews. We need a breakthrough ...a thorough change in the government to allow Jewish believers to come home and to allow cities like Arad to flourish."
