Shalom from The
Land (Eretz Israel) of Miracles,
This month, Israel celebrated
one of its many biblical miracles, however this historical
miracle continues till today. This is the holiday of Purim, mentioned in
the book of Esther. The miracle is Israel's very existence, of which
our enemies worldwide would love to see us simply disappear off the map
of the world. Actually, as I write this report, just a few
hours ago there was another terror attack in our capital city of
Jerusalem.
Children in Israel dress up in
their favorite costume to celebrate The Victory Story of Purim.
Most of you know
the popular scripture verse mentioned in this great story in Esther
4:14 which states, "And who knows but that you have come to your
royal position for such a time as this?"
Speaking of royalty and children,
this month with one of our beloved sponsors, Israel Benevolence
Fund, we visited two local orphanages to discuss and get insight on
how to better bless and practically help the hundreds of children
that are housed in these institutions. Abundant Bread of
Salvation, received a special gift that enabled us to purchase
75 brand new 3D bed sets for these precious ones to show them that they
are cared for and NOT forgotten. Halleluyah! Before this, I
never knew there was such a thing as 3D bed sets. Who would have
ever thought of such things when Israel became a nation 68 years ago?
This month we also received our new
shipment of over 4 tons of food items. On top of all of our regular
weekly activities of food packet distribution to over 400 poor
and needy families as well as the soup kitchen, we
are happy to share the short version of the humanitarian Biblical
excursion that we did with 50 Holocaust Survivors from Netanya. By
bus, we took them to Tiberias and one by one our volunteers helped them
to enter the boat where we set sail on the Sea of Galilee for an
hour explanation of their Biblical surroundings including the
history of the Jewish Messiah Yeshua-Jesus.
We also had a time of music,
dancing with the Survivors on the boat and giving them special hand
knitted quilts that were brought by special friends from America. For
most of these Holocaust survivors, it was their first time ever seeing
the Sea of Galilee with their own eyes. How awesome
is that!
We then got all 50 of them back on
the bus and traveled to the top of Tiberias, where my soup kitchen cook
had prepared all day making them a royal five course sit
down meal at a private home with a million dollar view of the whole Sea
of Galilee. We invited a special musician from Jerusalem who
played joyous songs that brought forth more dancing and eternal joy. Special
speeches, prayers and blessings were shared that moved these souls to
tears. I could go on forever about the blessings from this
awesome day.
You, YES, you! We
could not do all the above mentioned, without YOUR prayers and
financial support and of course every single volunteer matters. Please
come and volunteer and if you can't, please continue to pray and
give like you've never given before, for "Such a time as
this!" Israel's physical and spiritual salvation is at hand.
