BEHOLD,
how good and pleasant it is: to send this prayer letter out to you on the
FIRST day of Hanukkah, The Feast of Dedication as celebrated by our
Messiah and Savior and spoken about in
John
10:22, Celebrated in JERUSALEM, Israel's Eternal Capitol!
Hannukah-(Feast
of Dedication-Festival of Lights)-December 2017
Shalom, precious one in Messiah
Yeshua (Jesus),
What an amazing year this has been
for Abundant Bread of Salvation! First of all, so many of you have
been faithful this entire year to stand with us in intercession,
financial support as well as coming to volunteer with us here on the
front line.For this we want to, first of all, tell you how
thankful we are! We also want to let you know that this "thank
you", (todah, in Hebrew), comes from an eternal perspective as
we have seen countless dozens of our Jewish people come to faith in
Messiah during this last year and just as many people being healed of
their ailments and encouraged when prayed for by our team! Many of
you are receiving our newsletter for the first time. Welcome
aboard!YOU are part of our team! I would like to
say, that the Lambs Book of Life has become a lot thicker in 2017, with
the names of our Jewish people written in it, that have come to know Him
personally. This is because of your faithfulness! THANK
YOU, again.
BONUS, this end-of-the-year video clip, made just for you by our Abundant Bread of Salvation staff. This was, one of many of our Royalty Meals done with our dear Holocaust Survivors. It included a small group of believers from the U.S.A to interact with over 100 Holocaust survivors, (The Living Stones). What made this clip stand out from the rest was our special guest, an EX-MUSLIM, sharing her heart felt testimony having, the world famous Israeli Messianic artist Joshua Aaron doing a concert while everyone is digging into their 5-course meal. The Spirit of God was so strong that our Jewish Holocaust Survivors turned "their own", mourning into joy by dancing and forgetting their horrific history they went through and by a miracle they survived and now thrive in this beautiful Homeland, Israel.
What a wonderful opportunity to
wish you all a Happy Hannukah, as we celebrate The Light of the
World! As a matter of fact, we have made a very bold
statement to
the over 400 Jewish people we practically serve on a monthly basis. In our distribution center together with their food
bags filled with about 25 products, we also gave them a box of Hannukah
candles to light on their nine-branch menorah. Each
person is told about the Greatest Miracle, Yeshua, being the Light of the
World! I am reminded about the scripture in Matthew
5:16 which says, "In the same way, let your light shine before
others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in
Heaven." Indeed, they are seeing and giving glory to
Abba often!
A few highlights I'd like to share
with you from the last month as we cap off the year:
We recently took a busload of 50
elderly Belarusian Jews on a Biblical excursion to Jaffa together
with a group of believers from Hawaii. After showing and telling
them the history of this ancient Biblical city, we took them to a local
congregation where our cook prepared a traditional Hawaiian kosher
soup kitchen meal. I promise you, there was no pig at this
Jewish Luau and each person received a lei as well as a beautiful
Hawaiian calendar. The Spirit of aloha was very present and was
manifested in song and the practical love of God towards our Jewish
people. May I say Mahalo - (thank you in Hawaiian).
Nachum, the
leader of the local Russian speaking Holocaust survivors, who recently
came to faith in Yeshua while he accompanied me on my speaking tour wants me to
thank all of you for praying for him, his new faith in Messiah and his
wife, Elizabeth, for her health after recent
cancer treatments. He also wants me to tell you how moved
he is about the adoption by believers in Yeshua of the first 50 Holocaust
survivors presented on my speaking tour. Please, if you have
not already, prayerfully consider adopting 1-2 survivors while you still
can, as we have an additional 50 that have just been interviewed with us
and gave us their bio's that we translated into English for you.
Their time really is running out fast! Just ask us how to
adopt a Survivor?
Make a life changing impact by
sending your biggest end-of-the-year tax-deductible donation. We
desire to see them all adopted by the end of this year by faithful
believers and for them to know and feel the power of His
resurrection! Amen!
May I add - Abundant Bread of Salvation was
recently awarded by the Israeli Government, a Certificate of Good
Standing for 2017 and 2018. This was a beautiful sign of the hand
of the Lord upon what we are faithfully doing for His Jewish People and
His glory. We take this time again to thank you for ending this
year with abundance and beginning the new year of 2018 with an even
greater, overflowing abundance. Together we can make a difference
for eternity. Happy New Year!
