Shalom, dear partner, from the beautiful winter wonder
land of Israel,
This
last month has been a great month of God pouring out physical rain upon the
physical land of Israel. It is refreshing and a reminder of God's true
blessing upon us, even when we do not deserve it. It is amazing to see
that during our weekly dry food bag distribution, it is pouring rain, and
yet this doesn't keep the over 350 poor and needy people from coming to
receive their free food parcels, clothes, and the warm love of God that
breathes new life into their dry bones.
The
Holocaust survivors, war veterans, widows and single mothers that have come
to the soup kitchen before they are half-way through their meal are already
asking, "When will be the next date we will have this divine meal
again?" We ask them for their patience as there are other
groups we invite that are also asking the same question, "When will
it be our turn?" Please pray that God continue to work through
us as we serve up these delicious, five-star meals as well as His
"eternal" food that is felt by all present.
Special Order Eye Glasses: Matthew 13:16 "Blessed
are your eyes because they see."
This
last month we were able to distribute more eyeglasses to the poor and needy as
well as to the survivors. They were a special order from America.
Our recipients were so surprised, happy and blessed as they could see
properly again! We even checked their vision with a special eye chart with
John 3:16 written in Russian in big letters as well as other scriptures, that
shared the Good News, that were written in small and smaller words
line-by-line just like a regular eye chart. As they would read, we
could see even their eyes would light up as they read these words of
life and salvation. Amen! Please pray that their blinders
would truly be removed by the power of His Ruach Ha Kodesh, (the Holy
Spirit).
The below pictures are just a few of the recipients that
left our distribution center with a more CLEAR VISION of God's love for them.
Halleluyah!
A Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy:
One
of the special groups that we serve in our Dry Food Bag Distribution Center
is new immigrants in Israel, up to 18 months. Every month, we are
receiving more and more. Recently, one of our new recipients named
Sara, a young woman, only in Israel 3 weeks, asked us to pray for her
as she is all alone in Israel. Another recipient was a widow
that recently lost her mother. Our team was able to embrace
her and pray for her grieving process that she shared with us. I,
myself, cried with her as I felt her pain. This is what we call healing
Biblical prophecy in action. Amen!
Romans
8:37, says, "No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us". This
scripture is a constant reminder to our team at Abundant Bread of Salvation
of how important the pure and true love of God can cover a multitude of sins
and change the lives of these people for eternity.
Lastly,
on my birthday this month I was able
have a special celebration meal on the Mediterranean Sea beach of Netanya
with the leaders of the Ghetto Holocaust Survivors Association. What
an honor to share my special day with these precious souls.
As
our team is poured out for Him to our Jewish People, please continue to pour
out your prayers and financial blessings to continue this precious work of
God.

"WE
REMEMBER"
IMPORTANT
ADDITION TO BELOW NEWSLETTER:
Today,
is International Holocaust
Remembrance Day. I just got
off the phone with Nachum, the main leader of the Netanya Branch of Holocaust
Survivors, the biggest branch in Israel. I told him how much we love
him and his people and that not only will we
NEVER FORGET, but
that WE ARE COMMITTED, to practically support and assist them in every way
possible in this new year. Help us to remind EVERYONE to remember, by taking
a picture of yourself holding a sign with the words, "WE REMEMBER" and posting it on ours and your Facebook Page,

Shalom Dear Partner in Messiah,
Happy New Year 2017! What
a Mighty God we serve! We praise Him for bringing us THROUGH,
2016 with many trials, fires, and heart-breaking challenges. We are
commanded to praise Him and love Him first, even in the most difficult of
circumstances, so this, we will do at Abundant Bread of Salvation.
As we press forward in this New Year, we will continue to shine His
love and light through every physical act of kindness, prayer, hug, and even
hold the hands and cry with the hundreds of needy people that walk through
our doors.
Without your prayers and support,
these precious people would never have the hope that we provide for them in
our facility with basic food, clothes, and the eternal love of God.
In the Book of Revelation 12:11
it says, "And they have conquered him, (Satan) by the blood of the
Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives, even
unto death".
We all know that birth and
death are a natural part of life and both are typically painful. Sometimes
the pain is bittersweet and sometimes it brings great rejoicing. Recently,
we experienced both of these. I will share two stories that are a
direct result of the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation.
The first story is about a
young Israeli woman. A couple of years ago she somehow found our phone
number and called us in the middle of the night asking if it would be
possible to rescue her out of a home that she was taken prisoner as a
sex slave. Long story short, the impossible became possible
with lots of prayer, wisdom and the help of God. That same week, we met
with her in a coffee shop, shared the Good News with her and she
accepted her Messiah as Lord. Recently, however, we received
another phone call about her. With this phone call we were sadly told
that she was found dead of an unknown cause in her home and the funeral was
going to be the next day and they requested our presence if possible. I
was able to attend the funeral and everyone asked from where I knew her.
I was able to share about the great spiritual encouragement I was
able to be to her and was also able to pray words of comfort over her mother
and father at her memorial. We thank God for her
eternal salvation and the ability to bring light into the darkness.
We dedicate this prayer letter of new beginnings to the memory of Anabella. CLICK HERE, to help give your support, so that we can help
others like Anabella. Sadly, there are many more like her.
The
second story, although quite different, is about a Russian elderly man who
is over 90 years old. He is the leader of the Belorussian group
that we practically serve and bless, over 100 of his people.
This man is very active, strong-willed and an aggressive personality;
not always easy to deal with We know HOWEVER, that no one is
impossible for God to reach. I once was one of those people
myself. Recently, one of our Russian Jewish believer volunteers asked
him if he would like a home visit. To our surprise, he welcomed
the visit, he heard the Good News and accepted Messiah into his ripe,
old-aged heart. Halleluyah! Our volunteer reported to me
that on his own initiative, he continued to read God's Word for the next
couple hours and was rejoicing to know that he now has eternal Life. My
friends, what a way to start off the New Year, with new hearts, eternal life
and rejoicing, even in the midst of the storms. It's these stories
that make what we do ALL,worth it!
Since
writing this newsletter, the women below, who is his girl friend has also
excepted Messiah into her heart as well at a local Bible study that we
sponsor. Halleluyah!!
I don't know about you, but our
team is more motivated than ever to proclaim the Good News and practically
see even more lives changed as we continue our soup kitchen and distribution
center activities to over 500 poor and needy people every month. Our Holocaust
survivors are dying daily. The set time is now, to comfort our people.
Thank you again for your continued prayers, financial support and
volunteerism in 2017.

Precious
Friends of Abundant Bread of Salvation,
This
year has soared by, right before our eyes with many trials and challenges,
however with many Victories of blessing our Jewish people practically and
spiritually. Halleluyah!
At
the end of the day and now more so at the end of the year, it
makes it ALL, worthwhile! For this we praise Adonai and we
thank YOU, for all your prayers and support!
As
we close the year of 2016, may we meditate on the precious words of our
Messiah, in Matthew 25:40, which states: "THE
King will reply, truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." This should be a
question we ask ourselves daily.
As we celebrate The Light of the World and New Years
2017, what better time than now, to give your most generous
end-of-the year tax donation towards the expanding work?
Click HERE, to donate now!
Rejoice
with our team, by reading the below few examples that explain just the tip of
the iceberg of what was physically done this past year through your
generous support, prayers and the love of God. Halleluyah - Glory to God!
Highlights 2016:
Y Hundreds
of our Jewish people were tangibly blessed, prayed for at their own request
and many giving their hearts and lives to their Lord, King and Messiah for
eternity. Halleluyah!
Y By His grace, we gave
away over 6000 packed bags of food, (roughly 70 tons), at our
headquarters distribution center in Netanya. Each bag filled with over 21
products. Serving at over 400 families monthly. Click here now to give your one time - End of The Year Tax
deduction.
Y By His grace, we hired a
professional cook for our weekly soup kitchen and had hundreds of volunteers
serve alongside us, where each needy person received a home cooked sit
down five course meal. At least 3800 hot meals served, as well as
take home fresh bread, vegetables, fruits and many times take home
meals to help them through the week. We also gave away over 30 tons of new
and used clothes as well as much needed furniture. Click here now to give towards these HOT Meals.
Y By His grace, on roughly
a dozen occasions, we visited two local orphanages doing prayer
walks as well as providing sets of new blankets, shoes, school supplies,
toys as well as clothes on many occasions to over 100 very needy orphans.
We also started a new pioneering effort of taking the orphans on
special organized trips on rented buses to Biblical sights for a time of
refreshment and fun, as well interacting with Believers. On several
occasions, the leaders of this Orthodox facility came to our headquarters to
give us special cards and pictures made by the kids thanking us for our
love, care and generosity. Click here NOW, to give to the orphans.
Y By His grace, we again had over half a dozen
gatherings of Believers to do Royalty Meals with Holocaust
Survivors, giving them an elegant meal in a Restaurant or banquet hall, along
with concerts, dancing as well as sharing the life changing message
of hope. Lives are changed forever.
Y By His grace, we took a
half a dozen organized bus trips to the Biblical sights on the shores of
the Galilee, with poor and needy Immigrants, War Veterans, Holocaust
survivors and refugees. A majority of these people had never seen the Sea
of Galilee.
Y Abundant Bread of Salvation,
is on the rise as we increase our efforts and continue to find favor and work
with our local city officials, social workers, and many organizations to
bring practical and spiritual restoration to these Dry Bones and the Nation
of Israel!
Zechariah
4:6 - "Not by might, nor by power, but by your spirit says the
Lord!"
Thank
you again for your sacrificial giving and prayers as we soar like eagles
into 2017.
Happy
New Year, in His eternal hope.
