It’s about the Gospel – introducing the Jewish people and their neighbors to Jesus, the Messiah. It’s the greatest and the most important way you can bless anyone.
Thankfully, Israel is seeing some good news in the midst of this second wave of coronavirus. The number of new cases appears to be going down. That trend will have an impact on the government’s decision-making concerning restrictions and whether to return to a more strict lockdown.
We, perhaps like you, are in uncharted waters and very much aware of our need for God to speak clearly. As a staff, we just spent a week of special prayer times focused on asking Him for wisdom, understanding and discernment. We need these to know what to do, what not to do, where, how and when.
Is Fundraising an Obstacle to Your Going on an Outreach?
I went on my first Outreach with Jewish Voice Ministries International (JVMI) in 2013, and my life hasn’t been the same since. It was a weeklong Medical Clinic in northern Ethiopia in the city of Gondar.
This week there is some good news on the coronavirus front in Israel – the government just approved a new plan to help financially support Israelis who have been hit the hardest.
In recent news, it seems to be a love-hate relationship between Israel and Jordan. Jordan is pushing for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
Lord, please visit the congregations when we cannot!
The many congregations we either help support or partner with are on our hearts at this time. Two members of our Congregation and Leadership Development team were scheduled to make congregational visits in Africa in May. As you might guess, their visits had to be canceled this year due to COVID-19.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed today, especially as we look at the news coming out of Israel, I encourage you to ask the Lord for strength and peace. Pray strength and peace for yourself, your family, friends, neighbors, region, and an extra measure for Israel and the Jewish people. God will hear you.
