Blessing Israeli Believers – March 2025

An Update from Renee’ at Ima’s Goodies from Feb 3, 2025

DAY 486: My Emotions: Anger, Sadness, Joy and Thankfulness

I want to say THANK YOU to all of you that have been praying, and thinking of us, Gidon and Reneeand for us as a Nation. We are up against a wall, several of them, and this last year has been extremely hard. Nights when we have gone to bed, clinging onto the only hope we have - Yeshua. Mornings when we have woken up to horrible news of more of our precious soldiers lost in battle. There is not a day or even hours that go by that we do not think of our hostages and our soldiers. This nation has gone through the worst chapter in her history since the days of the Holocaust and the whole country is in mourning and trauma, including many of us and yet we can only keep our eyes on Yeshua.

I cannot even begin to explain to all of you what we are going through in this country. The range of emotions goes up and down and though I am not to be ruled by emotions I am often in shock of what is going on around me. The amount of tears I have cried these last 15 months since October 7th, 2023 is totally unreal. We have a beautiful worship song written by a young Israeli woman, and the theme is "I lift my eyes to Yeshua." I am always comforted by this song and realize that "this" is what we can do during the times we are in.

These Lovely Ladies are from the "Observation Unit", they help to keep our borders safe. They watch the screens and report what they see or anything that doesn't look right. It was young women like this that reported again and again to higher up authorities what was happening on the border with Gaza before October 7th and no one listened. Please keep our soldiers in your prayers.

Thank you for praying, loving and supporting Gidon & I as we serve the IDF Soldiers and the Nation of Israel. We speak SHALOM over you and your families during this time.

Thank You for standing with us.

A Note from BIB Co-Founder Dov Schwarz –
MARCH 2025 ISRAEL OUTREACH!!!

“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God. Isaiah 40:1

After two years, including my cancelled October 8, 2023 trip, I am heading back to Israel for a special BIB TV trip! Our plans are to meet with some of our BIB Israeli partners to speak comfort, peace, and the resurrection life of Messiah Jesus over these dear brothers and sisters in Messiah. I will mention a few things on our itinerary—all under the heading of LORD WILLING.

First, I will begin in the Golan Heights in Northern Israel. There I will spend some time with Pastor Ezra for BIB TV programming and meeting with some Israelis that we have been able to come alongside. Blessing Israeli Believers has been helping some of them through Pastor Ezra. The BIB TV programming is so very important as it will be aired all over the world to raise awareness and support for our very special BIB Israeli partners.

Then, our Israeli believing cameraman and myself are off to Jerusalem to meet with Pastor Oded Shoshani of the Hebrew speaking King of Kings Congregation. Pastor Oded has been a family friend and dear partner for many years. It is through him and the powerful witness of a Messianic Congregation, that we support the poor saints in Jerusalem according to Romans 15:26-27.

Next, we will be in Tel Aviv to meet with another “Dov”—Dov Bikas of Aviv Ministries. Dov Bikas and Aviv Ministries founded and oversees the work of a men’s shelter and women’s shelter for recovering drug addicts and other poor and needy in Beersheba—hometown of our spiritual father Abraham. He also has a soup kitchen in Tel Aviv where he feeds the poor, needy, drug addicts, prostitutes and others, not only food for their tummy—but also the Bread of Life our Savior Yeshua (Jesus)!

As with the Golan Heights and Jerusalem, our plan is to have special opportunities for BIB TV programming from this outreach. Prayerfully, I may even be going to the streets in Tel Aviv where drugs are used openly (like in the streets of San Francisco, CA), to share the gospel of the resurrection life of Messiah Jesus!

Please be praying, and as I mentioned on BIB TV here are some prayer points for this Israel Outreach:

• All spiritual and physical preparations to depart from Texas

• All flights as there have been so many air travel issues these days

• Please pray our Lord Yeshua would bless Dov’s going out and coming in

• The Lord would destroy the works of the devil against this outreach

• The Lord would pour out by the Holy Spirit His love, favor, grace, and mercy upon the dear Israelis we will encounter—those not yet saved and those saved

• The Lord would give Dov all wisdom, anointing, powerful words of life for Israel

• The Lord would use Dov as an instrument of comfort/healing upon Israel

• Salvation, restoration, edification, and great Holy Spirit fruit from this outreach

• TV recordings that will raise awareness and support for our Israeli Believing partners
