Shalom, dear supporter who delights in the Lord God of
Israel!
We write this prayer letter at a very exciting time in history
when just a few weeks ago, Israel and the Jewish people finished
celebrating the Biblical Feast of Tabernacles as talked about in Leviticus
23:42-43. I was happy to be able to host the leaders of the Russian
speaking Holocaust survivors in my Sukkah for a meal. One of them
came to faith in Yeshua last September and knows for sure that his
eternal home is in Heaven. We were greatly surprised that the other
Holocaust survivor leader with his wife actually announced that in his over
40 years in Israel he has never had a chance and was never invited
to actually be in a Sukkah! Imagine that? What an honor and a blessing this
was for him and his wife as we all enjoyed a tasty meal and eternally
rejoiced in our temporary dwelling.
Sukkot was a huge time of activity and outreach for Abundant
Bread of Salvation.
Twenty-seven Holocaust survivors experienced the power of the
Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit), in Jerusalem at the live concert
recording of world renowned Messianic music artist, Paul Wilbur, during the
Feast of Tabernacles. As spoken by the "Living Stones" themselves to me after
this amazing concert in the center of Jerusalem, they said, "It was
filled with energy and we felt it was one of the top special concerts of
our lives!" Paul Wilbur announced the special presence of the
survivors as they stood to their feet at their VIP seats and were honored
by the crowd with applause and hugs. Their lives were changed for eternity
as the Holy Spirit moved in a very powerful way. Thank you for your
focused prayers as these seeds are planted deeply into their hearts for a
great harvest, by His grace! It's these types of events that we just
can't do without the financial support of faithful people like you. Praise
Adonai!
Weekly, we continue to give out full food bags of 25 products
to over 400 poor and needy people and Holocaust survivors every month.
We just finished making a food order that costs roughly $11,000 U.S. dollars. We trust and greatly thank the Lord for this
monthly provision. The Soup Kitchen and all of it's weekly recipients
continues to go strong with tasty, home-cooked meals served by many
volunteers from all over the world. Many times, they're even blessed by
live, spirit-filled worship music while they enjoy their feast. We praise
the Lord as they really enjoy these meals and the gathering together
instead of being home alone.
Orphans, Single Pregnant Mothers and the
most precious babies in the world!
Recently, four intercessors contacted me asking if I can take
them to the local, all-girls orphanage that we work with and materially
bless them every opportunity we can. They heard that we take believers in
Messiah to this Ultra Orthodox Jewish facility and felt led to come with
us, especially from Jerusalem to Netanya, to pray down strongholds with
the weapons of our warfare. My friends, I am happy to tell you that
this is exactly what happened! The Spirit of the Lord was very strong as we
started our prayer tour with the Orthodox Assistant to the Director. All
of a sudden, the cutest children from first grade to high school age started
coming out from their bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms and were even
bringing their pet animals that are used for animal therapy. They wanted
hugs, smiles and the simple, pure love that is so lacking in this dark
world we live in. Of course, in the Orthodox community, only women can
touch women, so it was so great to have these four ladies to share in
the love of God that was poured out unto these orphaned girls and
even to their pets which they wanted us to hold and love on. We are
speaking with the director about all the many needed, practical projects
that we can help them with. Please pray and seek the Lord about what you
may be able to do with the over 80 girls in this orphanage. Glory to
God that we are able to literally and physically practice pure religion as
mentioned in James 1:27, "Religion that God our Father
accepts as pure and faultless is this, to look after the orphans."

As we close this newsletter, what more can we say except thank
you for your prayers and support that are making an impact for
eternity?!
