October 2020 – Blessing Israeli Believers

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
John 12:46

Once again, I want to say that I am so very blessed to be a Jewish disciple of Messiah Yeshua -partnering with precious Israeli Believers here in the Promised Land during this critical hour of time. And I am also so blessed to be partnering here in the Land with precious believing partners all over the world - we truly are Team Yeshua for such a time as this!

As you read this update from our partners - please remember (and pray accordingly) that at the time of this writing Israel is in a full lockdown with some of the worst Coronavirus numbers in the world. Incidentally, our Israeli healthcare system and hospital network was overwhelmed before the virus. Our Kingdom partnership at this time is more important than ever and truly together we are shining the bright light of Israel's only hope - our Messiah Yeshua!

A Word of Thankfulness from one of our Partners in Haifa

Greetings in Yeshua to all of you at "Blessing Israeli Believers"!

Thank you for your faithful help during these very hard times that are affecting you and the whole world! I am still privileged to play on our worship team (with Dov's son Yaakov) as we "gather" via "live feed" on youtube.

The nursing home I serve at continues to be so blessed with protection by the Lord from corona!! The staff gets tested once a week by Magen David Adom. There are stories in the news about other nursing homes in Haifa, and around Israel, that have as many as half their residents infected with the corona virus, so we consider ourselves miraculously blessed!

Our CEO, head nurse, house mother and house managers are very serious about the application of the Department of Health rules and regulations, and our staff is serious in compliance. We pray before shifts, and praise the Lord for His blessings and continued covering! In one of our recent inspections, the Dept. of Health representatives remarked that they didn't even feel they needed to enter the premises to look around, for they already knew that all would be in order!!! That was just such a huge compliment to Jonny our CEO, and all of the staff!!

Thank you blessed people once again, and may the Lord watch over you and keep you safe from "the pestilence that lurks in darkness".

Love and appreciation, Janet

Update from Ariel & Shayla, Haifa Israel

We've had about 6 times as many orders of New Testaments and evangelistic materials in the last 2 months compared to usual! God is stirring a hunger in Israelis to know the Messiah!

Here are a few of the many marvelous stories:

A man named Haggai ordered the New Testament and an evangelistic book. When Eliel called him, he said, "I'm kind of busy - I'm in the back seat during a driving lesson."

But then, surprisingly, he began talking with great boldness about Jesus, Yeshua. Eliel asked him if the books had arrived and he said, "Yes, I'm really glad to have received the New Testament, and I'm reading it!" Eliel asked, "What do you think about Yeshua?" He responded, "Wow, based on what I'm reading, Yeshua's amazing!"

Just a few years ago, most Israelis weren't willing to talk about Yeshua at all. Now they're extolling Him in the middle of a driving lesson in front of their non-believing friends! The Good News is spreading and God is changing hearts!

***************************************
A lady in her 50's named Niba made an order on our website, and when we spoke with her we could see she was very open to Yeshua. We sensed that she's really searching for the truth, and she even asked, "Is there some kind of group I can join that learns more about Yeshua?"

We've connected her with a women's Bible study group that is being held online now because of the virus. Lord-willing, she will connect personally with believers in her area soon as well.

***************************************
A few days ago a prominent Israeli rabbi ordered an evangelistic book from us about Isaiah 53 and the Messiah!

This rabbi - we'll call him Nathan - is especially known for his prophecies, and loves speaking about the Messiah. Often, when people see our Isaiah 53 video, they order this same book in order to learn more. Maybe this rabbi is beginning to see that his own "prophecies" weren't in line with what God Himself had said about the Messiah in the Tanakh, Old Testament.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5-6

We wrote him a personal letter explaining how the Jewish leaders rejected their own Messiah - "The stone whom the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone" (Psalm 118:22), yet now many Israelis are beginning to look upon Him whom we pierced (Zechariah 12:10). We encouraged him with God's promise: "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).

His organization runs multiple educational institutions across the country, including those training future rabbis, and is estimated to have property worth about $30 million. This man is a "teacher of teachers." Let's pray that he will become like the Apostle Paul, turning to the Light of Messiah and passionately declaring the Gospel!

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.
