May 2023   Shalom and peace be unto you in Messiah Yeshua, We are happy to report to you that this month is out of the ordinary and even out of this world! I love the scripture that proclaims in 1 John 4:4, “You dear children are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than he who is in this world.” This month started in the heavenlies, on a plane with my wife flying to visit the U.S.A. for ministry meetings creating awareness, prayer, and financial support for Abundant Bread of Salvation and having precious family time. My team back in Israel, with several volunteers, continue the practical and spiritual work while we are away. Thank you for your prayers for all of us as we bring the Good News locally in Israel and to the Nations in Yeshua's (Jesus) name. PLEASE, click here to help donate towards all the costs of this life giving trip that enables us to continue the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation. Please pray for my elderly mother, Gail, who is lonely and in much pain. Thankfully, we will be able to celebrate Mother’s Day  together. Thanking God for my mom and all you mothers out there. Happy Mother’s Day! Of course, thanking our Heavenly Father for giving us salvation in Messiah Yeshua and for His Jewish mother who gave birth to Him in Bethlehem, just around the corner from the very hill (the Mt. of Olives), where He will soon return to rule and reign. Praise Adonai! This month (May 25th), we are celebrating a very special Jewish and Biblical Holiday called Shavuot in Hebrew, otherwise known as Pentecost. What an amazing time to declare and share the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation to the nations about the outpouring of His Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh), through our practical humanitarian work and His great love working through us to bring new life! I can’t think of a better Shavuot scripture verse for this season and the work of our hands in Israel and the nations, than Acts 1:8 which says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” Halleluyah and Happy Shavuot (Pentecost)! Halleluyah!! Will you please pray and ask Yeshua what will be your first fruits gift (donation) , for this special holiday which serves our people in the most practical ways as we let the Ruach HaKodesh fall down in POWER. Click HERE to give now. Abundant Bread of Salvation testimony:  Recently, we had a very special biblical field trip with twenty Holocaust survivors where we took them to the Sea of Galilee. Many of them raised their hands stating that they have never been there since living in Israel. Can you imagine that?! Together on this trip was a very special donor named Abia-Rose that came to Israel to volunteer with us. She sponsored this costly trip which included a forty-five-minute boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and a seaside meat and fish lunch right on the shore of the Galilee! She also brought with her to Israel enough gold, silver, diamond, and precious stone rings to give to each survivor at a special ceremony in a circle of life. Blessing them in Yeshua’s name, she put these rings on their fingers, literally returning to them what was lost, burned, or stolen from their parents and grandparents during the Holocaust of World War II. These survivors were blessed to tears of joy! When we were on the double decker boat, we were practically the only ones on the Galilee while I played Messianic Music by Joshua Aaron and we got them up and dancing, laughing, and rejoicing. I shared with them from the Bible, the scriptures that speak of the great and mighty miracles that Yeshua (Jesus) performed on and around this breath-taking Sea of Galilee. They were fully attentive as living seeds were being planted, watered for Zions’s sake, and for eternity!  We are very grateful and thankful to you, Abia-Rose, for being obedient to God's leading, doing such sacrificial acts of kindness. IF, you are interested in giving towards the next Biblical Field Trip, please click HERE.  Below are pictures from this delightful and life giving Biblical Field Trip with Holocaust survivors. Halleluyah!           ABOVE, See pictures from our Gold, Silver and Precious Stone ring distribution to our Holocaust Survivors!   Would you also prayerfully consider doing such a thing or at least coming to volunteer with us and letting them see your "diamond and gold love and hugs" in the most practical ways? Ask us for a volunteer application. CLICK HERE. In closing, as I write, Israel continues to be bombed with over one thousand rockets into most of its southern cities. One of our Israeli citizens was killed and many wounded. Thank God for His hands of protection and the "Iron Dome" over us. Please continue to lift Israel in prayer as our enemies arise and the Lion of Judah roars! We thank and appreciate you for all your support in Yeshua’s name.       Blessings from Brian and the Abundant Bread of Salvation Team   Brian Slater-CEO / Projects Manager Email Me at: Brian@AbundantBread.com

April 2023   Shalom and Praise Unto The Lamb of God, Precious friend, I’m so excited as to what the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) has done and is still doing this month as I write this report. Psalm 107:1 says as a proclamation, “Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!” Amen! It’s been Passover season (Feast of Unleavened Bread) and an amazing Resurrection (First Fruits) celebration month at Abundant Bread of Salvation. Let me tell you! One of our very valued and gifted donors and volunteers has come to Israel to volunteer. Carla is a living Bible story teller that brings the Bible to life.  She served with us up until Covid-19 started and now she is back again. This time, she brought with her a box of Messianic Passover Haggadah books, which tell the story of God’s deliverance of His people from Egypt to the Promised Land. Her version was translated into Russian and had a focus on the Messiah Yeshua as our Great Deliverer. She arrived just in time for us to give these booklets out for free to each of the Holocaust survivors and poor and needy that came to the soup kitchen. I also gave a bunch of these books out at the Ebenezer Messianic Elderly Home in Haifa. That same week, Carla, during the soup kitchen, did the Bible story of Passover, dressing me up as Moses and one of the survivors dressed up as Pharaoh. We proclaimed that eternal freedom only comes by the blood of the Lamb in Yeshua. They were eternally blessed, and many more seeds were planted for His Kingdom glory! CLICK HERE: to give towards our weekly Soup Kitchens where we serve the best five star meals and serve the Good News that give Eternal Life.     Another Holocaust Survivor comes to faith in Yeshua after more than fifteen years of labor on the front line. Moshe, one of the main leaders of the Holocaust survivor organization that we work with is now our eternal brother in the Lord! This happened after a home visit to him and his wife, who shared with us that this was the worst day of her life. Her husband’s health was deteriorating in a way that was extremely affecting her emotionally. I ended up taking him for a walk in his wheelchair to view the Mediterranean Sea and give her a break to have some lady time to process her emotions with my wife. On my way back from the beach, the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) came upon me to speak to Moshe about salvation and hope in Yeshua, where many of his friends have accepted Him and passed on into glory. Amazingly, he was extremely open and, with joy, prayed with his hand on his heart with me right there on the sidewalk to receive His Messiah Yeshua as Lord and Savior after so many years of hearing the Good News! Praise Adonai! Also, because of your prayers we are seeing more hunger and thirst after supernatural things that are not of this world. PLEASE CLICK HERE: To pray and give your largest gift towards more salvations in Messiah Yeshua. This is always a miracle to see and be used by God to bring new life and eternal life to the dry bones.     Above are pictures of this amazing time with Moshe and his precious wife Manya. PLEASE be praying for this new brother in Yeshua and his wife to come to know this same eternal salvation. AMEN! As this amazing month wraps up (although we do this every day at Abundant Bread of Salvation), April 18th is Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom Ha Shoah). We will have a special gathering in our ministry home with four Holocaust survivors sharing their miracle stories of how they survived their horrifying lives in the concentration camps. We will invite local Messianic Jewish believers as well as Christians from the nations to be part of this Memorial Day. A worldwide professional violinist (who is also a believer), offered to come and play special memorial songs over each of the survivors. Halleluyah! On April 24th, Israel will have its yearly Israel Memorial Day, mourning and honoring all those who have lost their lives in Israel’s wars and battles and terror attacks. So many have happened these last couple of months. Your prayers for the grieving please.  May 25th, when the sun sets, Israel instantly switch’s its focus to its 75 years for Israel Independence Day. We, our Jewish People, our Nation, and us local believers in Yeshua are absolute prophetical miracles. Now that is something to rejoice over, pray over, and continue giving your support that we may see more come into His Kingdom! "For Zion's sake do not keep silent, until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." Isaiah 62:1 Below are pictures from our amazing and special gathering of Holocaust survivors (sharing their stories) and local Believers in Yeshua.           Eternal thanks from Brian and the Abundant Bread of Salvation Team   Brian Slater-CEO / Projects Manager Email Me at: Brian@AbundantBread.com

Rejoice in The Lord Always and Again I Say Rejoice!

The above are the first words that were downloaded into my spirit, when I prayed over what I should share with you in this Abundant Bread of Salvation report. I just finished a life closure with an honoring memorial service for my father, Frank. He lived in Los Angeles, before retiring to his heavenly home. This was a huge challenge and expense for me, considering the circumstances. His father, my grandfather, once lived in Israel in the early 20’s before immigrating to the USA, where my father was born. So, the very fact I am living in Israel is bringing it full circle. Thankfully, I do have the peace of Yeshua (Jesus) that he is eternally rejoicing, as we are commanded to do as well in Philippians 4:4. This has been a time of having the peace of God that passes all understanding because of Messiah Yeshua.  Glory to His name! Thank you all very much who have prayed for me and my family. Please continue. Caring and honoring the elderly and Holocaust survivors is one of the many callings from the Lord. Thankfully, I was also able to spend some quality time with my mother and be there for a surgery she just had. Please pray for my mother, Gail, as her health is also very challenged and she is high risk in her eighties. She is the best Jewish mother in the world! Pictures Below: My Father. We will miss you Abba, however we will meet again in Heaven. Praise Adonai for his eternal victory!

The Holiday of Purim (The Festival of Lots) This month, both Jews and Messianic Jewish believers in Yeshua worldwide celebrated this festive miracle holiday commemorating the defeat of Haman’s plot to massacre the Jews as recorded in the Book of Esther. Speaking of amazing Jewish women, Esther was a most heroic woman used by God. Esther became queen and risked her life to save the Jews. What an amazing thought and calling by God to be used for saving the Jews from annihilation. As I write this report, there was yet another terror attack in Tel-Aviv to try and massacre our Jewish people. Antisemitism is on the rise worldwide. Please continue prayers of protection over our Jewish people in Israel and around the globe. Thank you for standing with us in saying, “Never Again!”. There are some Christians who stand idle when these horrible things happen around us, but we feel we have friends in you.  Be a hero for the Jewish People, CLICK HERE, to give your largest Purim donation for the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation.

Eighteen German Christians come to Israel These precious friends and lovers of Zion, (whose government once hated and tried destroying the Jews), specifically came to bless our Jewish people in Yeshua’s name doing many projects for only a week. There were two amazing activities they did together with Abundant Bread of Salvation just before I flew out to Los Angeles. One was that they requested and felt from the Lord to have me take them for a visit to the local orphanage to do a prayer walking tour as well as giving out one hundred Lion of Judah stuffed animals, (during Purim season.) The looks on these precious orphan children faces was glowing, turning mourning into joy. The manager of this orthodox Jewish orphanage also allowed the German group to play their ukulele and belt out a beautiful rendition of the song called, "The Blessing." To the surprise of all the staff, counselors, and kids, the Germans sang both in Hebrew and German. The Spirit (Ruach), was tangibly and powerfully present. Smiles and dripping tears were as wide as the Mediterranean Sea. We left that facility with a huge impact for the Kingdom of God! Halleluyah! It says in Esther 4:14, “For such a time as this...” Please pray that we have more visiting groups like this (it could be you), and please help financially support the many practical needs of this orphanage through Abundant Bread of Salvation. They need us and the support we provide. Click here to donate today. Pictures below: Prayer walking through this precious orphanage that houses over 100 needy orphan children. This is one of three orphanages we assist.

Before the German group left, they treated our local staff and volunteer team to an amazing Royalty Meal at a steak restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. These are true friends and believers in Messiah Yeshua! Please, will you also stand with us as well in redeeming the past and bring practical and spiritual breakthroughs for the future in Yeshua? Click HERE, to be practical with your donations and come and visit us as well. Below are pictures of our German friends blessing our team like Royalty. How good and pleasant it was!

 

With love and compassionate prayers for you,
