Blessing Israeli Believers March 2022

A word of encouragement from Ima’s Goodies:

PURIM this year falls on March 16th, this holiday is found in the Bible in the book of Esther chapter 9. Actually the whole book of Esther is about God working behind the scenes to save His people and Esther being in the right place at the right time because of God's providence. In verse 19 it tells of sending presents one to another, this is where the tradition of Mishlo'ach Manot (Purim Packages) comes from.

Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another. Esther 9:19

Sometimes when we are at our lowest point, someone comes along and gives us a boost up. Maybe it's an encouraging word or a smile, maybe even a home baked plate of goodies. The thing is, you never really know when you are giving something just how much the person on the receiving end needs this gift.

So now imagine if you will how much that encouragement and love can pull someone up higher, especially when they have been guarding and going up against the enemy all day long. This is the life of an Israeli Soldier. If you have served at all in the military you know what it's like getting a care package from home or even in a normal job when someone says…THANK YOU.

To spread a little bit of love and encouragement to these Israeli soldiers is just what the GREAT Physician prescribed. They are weary, torn down, spit upon, lonely, tired in spirit, and have curses shouted at them. These Israeli soldiers are in need of some TLC and THIS is just what we are planning to do this Purim Holiday. So Join with me as we prepare over 900 Mishlo'che Manot (Purim Packages) to give to our Israeli soldiers.
Each Army Unit that we have connections with will be receiving these Purim Packages. Each Israeli soldier will receive a Purim Package as well as a variety of snacks and drinks for their unit. Each Unit consists of anywhere from 60 to 150 IDF soldiers in a Unit. (the big green bags you see are filled with
Purim Packages). The Units we will be visiting are mainly in the Judea Samaria region. This area is a hotbed of terrorism, night-time activity with many drive by shootings and terrorist attacks.

Thank you for your prayers and support. Ima – Ima’s Goodies

Blessing Israeli Believers - Aliyah Praise and Worship

We at Blessing Israeli Believers are so thankful to be involved with a new project called Aliyah Praise and Worship. “Aliyah” literally means in Hebrew “to go up”. It is often used to speak of the Jewish people moving from the nations back to Israel in fulfillment of Bible Prophecy.

Yet, we have added a special BIB flavor to Aliyah! The Aliyah Praise and Worship program refers to Messianic Aliyah (a Jewish disciple of Messiah Jesus). And that is not all! It also refers to a Messianic Believer back in Israel who will be leading praise and worship in song and service to our great Messiah Yeshua! How is that for a great Blessing Israeli Believers blessing? Meet the first Aliyah Praise and Worship disciple in this program:

Shalom!
I am so very grateful to Blessing Israeli Believers and the “Aliyah Praise/Worship” project. By the grace of the L-rd and the support of BIB - Aliyah Praise/Worship, I am only a few days away from fulfilling my Aliyah (immigration to Israel.)

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing,
with everlasting joy on their heads. Isaiah 35:10

In Israel, I will be part of praise and worship teams and will also help lead worship in home groups. I will also be serving alongside of the heroic believers in the land who help destitute women escape from human trafficking.

Other service opportunities I will be involved with include: ministering to Holocaust survivors with free concerts and meals, serving local communities in soup kitchens and other humanitarian aid, and sharing the good news of Messiah Yeshua with Israelis in Hebrew and in English.

Thank you for your prayers and your financial support to this important ministry.

Blessings and Love,
Chava
