What the LORD is doing...
A Word From Dov Schwarz, Co-Founder Blessing Israeli Believers:
Can you believe it-it's almost 2017! I would like to give a brief overview of just some of the fruit from 2016 here in Israel. Next month, Lord willing, we will give a brief vision for 2017. This year has been full of ups and downs yet in both we have seen the faithfulness of Messiah Yeshua in the Promised Land.
Our ministry partners have been walking in the faithful grace and mercy of Messiah and experiencing His love and kindness. In the midst of His presence and glory we have seen so many expressions of His love for His people Israel. Here are some of the many Kingdom categories we participated in that we can look back on at 2016 with amazement:
The Gospel
Over 1,000,000 Jewish people have heard the gospel through Ariel Hyde's Facebook video, about the "forbidden chapter" Isaiah 53.
Also, we have heard testimonies of people who have experienced physical healings as Ariel's team was able to pray over Israelis.
All of our partners are involved in personal sharing, one on one, with Jews, Arab, and others from the nations. There have been so many opportunities!
Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Food Distribution
Brian Slater and the Abundant Bread of Salvation team has been sharing physical bread and the Bread of Life in his soup kitchen and food center. They have witnessed Holocaust survivors praying to receive Yeshua as Lord!
John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
Pastor Oded Shoshani and Sandy Shoshani - Be'ad Chaim (Israel Pro-Life)
Oded has been feeding the poor saints in Jerusalem with BIB funds while his wife Sandy has been saving babies from abortion and giving hope and comfort to their mothers. Your gifts to Blessing Israeli Believers and BIB Pro-Life have helped tremendously!
Romans 15:26,27
For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.
Proverbs 31:8,9
Open your mouth for the speechless,In the cause of all who are appointed to die.Open your mouth, judge righteously,And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Help With Rent
This year there are three very special ladies, believers in Messiah Jesus, who we were able to help with their rent. They all have unique circumstances for which they needed help to stay in their homes. One is in Jerusalem and two in the Galilee. What a blessing so many of you have been to help them this year!
Galatians 6:10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Just a Snapshot
We like to keep our monthly updates brief so know this: These things you have read are just a snapshot of so much more we were able to do together in Israel in 2016. This is a small fraction of the work that your gifts have helped to accomplish, the light we were able to shine, and the blessing we could be to Israeli Believers in Messiah Jesus!
I have two more words regarding the partnership of so many of you in 2016-THANK YOU!

Romans 15:26-27 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal (material) things.
