Month: October 2023

UPDATE to this letter: This letter was written before the war in Israel began. Due to flight complications, much prayer, and other variables I decided it was best to cancel my trip for now.

I am in ongoing discussions and prayers with our BIB partners all over Israel. Some of whom have sons and daughters who are IDF soldiers in harm’s way. We continue to pray and stand with them and all of Israel at this critical hour.

For some context regarding this war you can look at this YouTube teaching from my program Watch Therefore

Grace and Peace in Messiah Yeshua,
Dov

A Note From Co-Founder Dov Schwarz
BIB Israeli Partners TV Recording Trip!

As you are reading this letter I am in Israel! My trip dates are October 8-20 and I will be meeting with some of our Israeli Believing Partners to record special TV programs with the intention to share with our viewers the exciting things the Lord is doing through our partners in the Promised Land!

My time in Israel with our BIB partners begins in the Golan Heights meeting with Ezra who is doing many good gospel works and also reaching out with humanitarian aid for believers and pre-believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). He and his wife Shulamite have been one of our longest BIB partners and they are a real blessing to many including us!

During this part of my trip I will be staying at the Sea of Galilee very close to the home my family and I lived in during our time in Israel. I am also recording teachings by the Sea of Galilee to be aired on our Watch Therefore TV program - stay tuned! What a special place this is in our Lord’s creation.

Next, I am going to Haifa where I will also be recording TV programs with a very special teaching in mind. Our Bibles speak of the time when the LORD (Yehovah) would bring back the Jewish people from the nations of the world to their Promised Land. Many of them came from the nations and landed right at Haifa Bay. I will be there with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea where boatloads of Jewish people came fulfilling thousands of years of Bible Prophecy!

Then, I am off to Jerusalem, the City of our Great King, to meet with three more of our BIB partners. One has a ministry in Tel Aviv to drug addicts and others who are down and out. We will be meeting near Jerusalem to do some recording for our TV programs. His name is Dov Bikas and what a special servant of the Most High God Messiah Jesus! On previous trips, we recorded programs with him that were very well received.

And also, I plan to meet with Oded and Sandy Shoshani. Oded is the pastor of Melech Hamlachim (King of kings) Messianic Congregation in Jerusalem. His wife Sandy is the director of Bead Chaim (Pro-Life) in Israel. They both have such a powerful testimony and work in the Holy Land! Lord willing, we will record important TV programs and have a special time of prayer with them and all our partners we meet with in the Land! Also, I plan to record teachings in Jerusalem that will air on Watch Therefore TV as well.

Here are a few Bible verses that sum up our intentions for this trip. And guess what? You can still participate in this holy trip to the Holy Land. Please consider praying and financially supporting this work which you can do right after reading this letter!

“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God.
“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:1-2

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Romans 1:16
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel
is that they may be saved. Romans 10:1

Update from Ezra & Shulamite,
Golan Heights

We were able to be used by God through donations from Blessing Israeli Believers to keep the electricity on during this extremely hot summer for a family of 5.

Tatyana has 4 children and is a new immigrant facing all the challenges of learning a new language and culture while trying to provide for her family.

Our food program is also still being used to assist the poor and the elderly here in Israel. We write this update to convey with you all God is accomplishing and to thank you for all your prayers and support.

A Special Note and Thank You from Ima’s Goodies

Many times as I pull up to the base I need to explain again who we are and what we do! Sometimes the destination is in the middle of nowhere. It is hard to believe that there could be places like this in our small country. I usually imagine that the young man on duty in front wonders how I managed to get there! Then, when I assure them that I came just for them, they’re excited to see what kind of “goodies” I have for them. It never fails they are always surprised that my team and I would come specifically to them and pass off some “lovin-from-the-oven”! Thank you for giving and helping us with this support of our soldiers.

Ima’s Goodies has been bringing love and special baked treats and snacks to IDF soldiers since 2014! Each soldier has put their life on hold to specifically answer the call of their nation of Israel at this time, whether it’s for a few years or a bit longer. To know that we can sleep in bed at night, free of thoughts or worry towards the enemy because they are on duty. Somehow in the midst of all that they go through they give new meaning to the words: “AM YISRAEL CHAI – The NATION of ISRAEL LIVES”

Recently our dear friends, Renee’ and her husband Gidon of Ima’s Goodies, have been experiencing a wave of physical medical needs and Blessing Israeli Believers has come alongside them to help. Below is a thank you note received from Renee’.

Thank you to those of you who have been praying for us and especially for my husband Gidon in these night seasons. Thank you to those who have given already, we so appreciate this. As we are here in Israel we pray blessings upon you and your families and your business’s, may they prosper as you have given to us as we help to further the Kingdom here in this land.
