Shalom dear brothers, and sisters in Yeshua. Grace and peace be to you from God our Father! Thank you again for praying and participating in these Israeli ministry projects.

We recently finished the autumn flurry of Biblical celebrations with the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. It was uplifting and exhausting at the same time, as holidays always are. We hosted many guests from all over the world — including China, Latvia and Norway. We experienced the ministry of prophecy and words of knowledge, and were renewed in the presence of the Lord, friends, and family members. In the midst of national and international crises, elections and constant military threats, this season set apart was a wonderful gift from the Lord.
Humanitarian Aid Ministry News
With the influx of new olim (immigrants) and refugees, we urgently need to renew our finances! We have helped hundreds of people from Ukraine and Russia in recent months as more and more have passed through our center. Some came to Israel to escape the war, some to avoid mobilization in Russia, and there are those who came as refugees for a year or two — just a mass of traumatized destinies and needs. WE THANK YOU for donating and enabling us to serve these people!
Aliyah – The Return
Wars, famine, and epidemics are all foretold in the prophecies of the Tanakh and the New Testament. We are living in the challenging times of prophetic fulfillment. It’s important not to lose focus. Israel’s focus is Aliyah – the return of the Jewish “exiles” foretold by the prophets. As we see its growing pace, it is important for you to offer support through PRAYER. Interest in Aliyah is periodically lost in the midst of other events, but the prophetic Word says that the RESTORATION of Israel will be a huge step closer to the return of the King of Kings. And we hear the prompting from the Spirit of God: “Bring back Your scattered children to the land of their fathers.” But there is a human toll. Aliyah is uncomfortable and even painful for many coming from Ukraine and Russia. They have undergone serious mental and emotional trauma. Our intercession can both bring them back and also bring the Lord’s healing. Please pray for this!
A personal thought and experience to share: The Lord draws my attention to Exodus 33: 12-23 where Moses asks the Lord to reveal His glory. He declares, “If your presence does not go with us, don’t move us anywhere.” I think every person growing in the Lord comes to the place - as I have - where he or she makes this desperate plea. And it is then that “prayer in one direction” ends, and a DIALOGUE begins.
And the Lord said, “Behold, I have a place; stand on this rock…” (Exodus 33:21).
Stand On The Rock! Those who know the New Testament understand that the Rock is the Messiah. It is only by standing on Him and building upon Him that we can withstand all that awaits us in the coming months and years. May you and I do so, and experience God’s glory and guidance!
