WE'RE HEADING INTO THE GREATEST CONFLICT IN HISTORY
Asher Intrater, President of Tikkun Global, in Jerusalem wrote: "The Church is not ready, Israel is not ready, none of us are ready. I don't perceive this to be a one-time teaching, but a foundational message for the season we live in. It certainly means that there are difficult times before us. Going through difficult times does not necessarily mean that you are doing something wrong. The apostle Paul went through horrible tribulation but ended up transforming the entire Roman empire."  Read in full

Arrows from Zion Summary of Prayer Points for Israeli Ministries
Prayer Requests & the Chronicles of the Remnant of Faith in Israel

Reuven Doron, OneNewManToday writing from the Messianic moshav Yad HaShmona, advises to avoid the “junk food” of media noise: “So how could God’s people walk in this age of ceaseless noise and mass deception and confusion? We should grow in vigilance to find and guard our inner peace. This is the place where God’s voice can be heard in our human spirit. We must fast from the convenient “junk food” of the world so that we can develop a genuine hunger for the hearing of God’s Word. We have to embrace the truth that we are not part of this fallen world, and that any effort to “belong” or to be “accepted” is doomed to fail and will only lead us into greater disappointments…” Read more | READ on Facebook Reuven’s “Your Key to Overcome” | When you subscribe to Reuven’s mailing list, you can download a free copy of his groundbreaking book from 1993, One New Man.| Watch a short video message from Reuven at the Israeli Knesset were international Christians, leaders and pastors came to take part in a 3-day Prayer for Israel event – against all odds!
 
Pastor Dani’s beloved, LuAnne writes for the Carmel Congregation this week: “As I write this, we have awakened to a new day after spending some time in the bomb shelter last night. . . .I am preparing next week's Torah portion, "Chukat.” It is filled with many stories, but among them is the story of the bronze serpent....The corresponding New Covenant portion is John 3:10-21...14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”. . .As we move into uncertain times, we lift our eyes to Yeshua, El Ribon (Sovereign God), knowing that He has all things in His hands, including our salvation, healing, protection, provision, and our future. We do pray for protection against damage, injury, and loss of life, but we also know that God has plans and purposes beyond what we may understand. We pray that our people Israel, as well as our neighbors, and the world, will lift up their eyes to the Messiah Who was lifted up for us." Prayer Points “May God's purposes be fulfilled for Israel and the nations in this war.| May Jewish people in the nations hear the call to come home to Israel and may Messiah Yeshua be revealed to them, just as it is written.| Our young people are preparing to go to Germany for a youth camp. May God protect them and open every door that He wants them to go through, and tightly close any door that He does not want for them.|The dollar has fallen to a rate that is unheard of for over 30 years.  It is having a very negative effect on our finances, as well as on all of Israel.  Please pray that God will stop this fall and reverse it to a higher rate than ever.  In the meantime, may He provide in ways we couldn’t imagine.| May we have God's vision of how to operate in these turbulent times, and keep advancing His kingdom by the power of the Holy Spirit.
 
At David’s Tent Avner Boskey is writing profusely again with Horsing around with the Persian Godfather: Throttle and Threaten, Manipulate and Weaken.

Shavei Tzion/Return to Zion’s Leon Mazin writes: Choose the Fruit, Not the Fear. This week 6/2 in Israel, we come to Parashat Sh’lach — the moment when the spies entered the Land and saw two things at the same time: the fruit of God’s promise, and the giants that made them afraid. That tension is still real in Israel today. Every day, we meet people who are carrying questions about identity, belonging, and purpose. New immigrants arrive in Israel with hope, but many also face uncertainty. They have returned to the Land, yet the journey of putting down roots, building community, and finding their place is often more difficult than they expected. Like the spies, it is easy to focus on the challenges. The headlines are filled with conflict, division, and instability. Many people feel overwhelmed by what they see around them. Yet God calls us to see something greater than the obstacles before us. At Return to Zion, we believe that helping people reconnect with their Biblical identity and heritage is part of that greater vision.

Going through my inbox I found this report from April 30^th that slipped by me from Claude & Michelle Ezagouri of the Morning Star Fellowship in Tiberias. (Apologies!)
They write, “Our fellowship has been strengthened by these troubled times. Our main goal is to purify ourselves and to be found holy before Him as we know that He will come to take His spotless bride. We also learnt to be attentive to what God is saying to us, as it is exemplified in the following testimony.
     Testimony: A member of our fellowship was driving when suddenly the alert started. According to the instructions from the home front command, he was supposed to move away from the car and lie down to the field adjacent to the road. However, he heard a loud inner voice telling him to get out of the car and lie down right there. The missile fell right on the field where he was supposed to go according to the instructions. The explosion was very strong, but he got out of this unharmed. The incident and the Lord’s intervention have had a positive impact on his faith.
     Being Available to Help: Some people have a hard time during the alerts, and we want to be a factor of comfort and encouragement to them. Others lost their jobs temporarily and the fellowship wants to help the needy so our store for humanitarian help downtown was open even during the war. Please pray that we may keep up the good work that the Lord has called us to do for such a time as this. The children couldn’t go to school for the whole time of the war, so a family from the congregation started a midweek meeting of fellowship, worship and food for them. This is a blessing to the children who really value this time together.
 
Avi Mizrachi of Dugit Outreach Ministries in Tel Aviv sends this 6/8 video update about the Iranian ballistic missiles targeting northern Israel. "We encourage you: PRAY FOR ISRAEL! We need your support and your prayers in times like these."
     While the headlines are filled with uncertainty, God continues to open doors for the Good News in Israel. This week, we have the privilege of hosting a local Israeli worship team for an evening of worship, pizza, and fellowship for youth and young adults in the heart of Tel Aviv. Many non-believing friends have been invited. . . . As summer begins, we are preparing to refresh our coffee shop—a vital part of our outreach ministry in Tel Aviv. We are updating the space with a new look and atmosphere that reflects the vibrant spirit of Tel Aviv while creating an even more inviting setting for ministry. For many young Israelis, our coffee shop is much more than a place to enjoy a cup of coffee. It is a welcoming environment where relationships are built, meaningful conversations take place, and people encounter the message of Yeshua in a natural and authentic way. During the renovation period, the coffee shop will temporarily close, and we are trusting God to provide the resources needed to complete this important project. Would you prayerfully consider partneringw/us?
 
In When the Lion Killed the Prophet, Harvest of Asher pastor Guy Cohen teaches from 1 Kings 13 to take to heart: "In the last days, it will not be enough merely to know the Scriptures. We must also know the voice of God. Many will hear spiritual voices and be exposed to various teachings, prophecies, and revelations. But only those who cultivate a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, remain rooted in the Word of God, and exercise spiritual discernment will be able to distinguish truth from deception and remain faithful until the coming of the Lord.
     The tragedy of the man of God teaches us that hearing God once is not enough. We must continue walking in obedience to what He has spoken and guard our hearts against voices that seek to pull us away from His truth. The Holy Spirit does not lead every believer in exactly the same way. Some are guided primarily through Scripture. Others receive direction in prayer. Some experience a strong inward witness of peace or warning. Others receive confirmation through the body of believers. At times, God even uses circumstances to direct our steps. The methods may differ, but the source is the same. The Holy Spirit knows each believer personally and leads each one according to God's purpose and calling. Yet no matter how He speaks, He will never contradict the Word He has already given.

Sally Shiff is the Enlish-speaking liaison of HaMaayan congregation – & now in the US for speaking engagements (email for itinerary). Sally Returns July 17 to Israel. IMPORTANT MEETING SCHEDULED ON RETURN “with US Ambassador Michael Huckabee July 21 to discuss Aliyah and the Messianic community. Please pray for wisdom.”
* DD: Critical Intercession: In trying to be a good friend to Israel, it has become too easy for high level evangelical leaders like Mike Huckabee to be silent about Israel’s Messianic Jewish believers in Yeshua/Jesus AND the international Messianic Jews who want to immigrate to Israel because of rising anti-Semitic dangers in their nations. The religious powers that be in Israel will try everything they can to find out if an Aliyah-seeker is a believer in Jesus in order to BLOCK ENTRY INTO THE JEWISH HOMELAND. Personally I applaud Sally for having the courage to make this appointment to discuss this with Mike Huckabee.  If ever there was a time for the Esther’s to arise for this purpose it is NOW!
 
Howard Bass of Nachalat Yeshua/Yeshua’s Inheritance makes some interesting observations about the standard of going through some program before getting baptized is not really biblical. Have to agree with that. Understanding what took place when you did get baptized is something that should come up in Discipleship. Let new believers take the plunge immediately is my view too because it is an important part of public profession of faith: Say with the mouth, then demonstrate in your body.
     Howard also writes about “the Isaiah 19 conference in Cyprus the last week of May. It went very well, by God's grace, given the divisions caused by Israel in the wisdom and righteousness of God. There was honesty among the participants from about 10 countries from the Middle East, N. Africa, and Mediterranean region. We all have experiences that draw out the emotions, and factor into our views and practice of what we believe, or not. Yet the Spirit was there, too, doing His work to keep everything in the love of Messiah/Christ.  When there is light, there is fellowship!  …
     The conference is grounded on the truth that YHVH God keeps His word, and that includes His covenants and promises and oaths which He has made regarding the physical seed of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; the land and nation of Israel; the city of Jerusalem; various specific nations round about Israel, and all the others; the believers in Jesus Christ the Son of God. In other words, the conference is grounded on the truth that replacement theology is a false one. I've personally come to the conclusion that any "theology" or worldview that denies that the Lord Yeshua the Messiah/Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the nations and establish God's Kingdom on the Earth from Jerusalem, Israel, for 1000 years before the eternal new and perfect heavens and new Earth are created, and before the final judgment and separation of those condemned from those justified is replacement theology by whatever name:  our own understanding or preference replacing the Creator and Redeemer's own plan and will to visibly sanctify and vindicate His Holy Name.

Youval & Valerie Yanay who lead the Revive Israel discipleship ministry write that this week we “gathered as a team and with our volunteers to reflect on the recent 40-day discipleship program. Together we reviewed what worked well, what could be improved, and how we can better prepare for the next discipleship training this October. We are grateful for all that the Lord did during those forty days and are already looking ahead with expectation. . . . At the same time, preparations for France are now being finalized. Twenty-nine Israeli teenagers will be joining us for a week of discipleship, fellowship, and rest in the south of France. We are currently finalizing the teachings and program schedule and are praying for God's wisdom over every detail. We are trusting the Lord to use this time to draw these young people closer to Him and strengthen them in their faith.  If this trip is on your heart, we invite you to stand with us in prayer and consider sowing into this journey so these young people can take part in what God is doing.

Ronit Bender  (email) out of the Carmel Congregation gives news about a couple of friends many Christians have visited with in the past when they ran The Galilee Experience in Tiberias. Ronit wrote: “Recently Sofy and I went to visit old friends of mine, Terri and Eric. They were there for Tom and I when we came to Israel twenty-one years ago, for which I will always be grateful. Years have gone by and there was no contact, but a couple of weeks ago, I felt an urgency of the Lord to go and visit them. Terri will be 90 years old in September! When entering their home situated above the Sea of Galilee, we realized that Terri was experiencing a difficulty in breathing. The Spirit of God rose within my heart, and I prayed for her. Instantly she felt strength returning to her body. We had a wonderful visit and will visit again in a couple of weeks. Terri and I share the passion for reaching out to Israelis; it really burns within us. Please continue to pray for her full recovery, and for Eric, her husband, who is recovering from a hip replacement operation.
     Every so often something happens that shakes your life. My friend, Scott Baker, (Coleen's husband) had a stroke. A young man 65 years old, seemingly healthy, just melted to the floor in the congregation's Tuesday watch prayer meeting. . . . so please pray for his quick and full recovery, for Coleen, who besides being a friend, edits my newsletters, and pray for their family.
     Correction: Ronit’s friend with the hair salon is not an Arab believer but a Russian Jewess.
 
Heart of G-d Carolyn & Richard Hyde (I see from Facebook) are currently in Singapore. Before this trip Carolyn shared "I've commanded the ravens to provide for you there.” 1 Kings 17:4 And that's exactly what Adonai did for us as we prayer-walked in the desert during the recent PAJ, Prophetic Artists Journey - please click above to view. Several impressions from a friend: "While the enemy watches, the Father provides. The fact that this occurred at Ein Gedi, a place of refuge and provision in the wilderness is significant. Ravens are considered unclean yet Abba used them to serve His purposes, beautifully reminding us that the Father is more than able to provide, sustain, and release what is needed, even unexpectedly!"  
    “ . . . . While hitchhiking into town, I was offered a ride by a woman who, as we began to chat, said she's terrified of what's coming next in this world. When I told her I'm not afraid, she asked why. As I explained why I follow Yeshua, although we were alone in the car, she leaned over and whispered, "Are you referring to Jesus? I've been looking into Him as the Messiah!" Richard and I recently visited her and we're truly grateful for these divine appointments that allow us to speak of the Hope of Israel to our people!”
 
Michael Beener of the City of Life in Sderot writes, “A Biblical Gathering: Nations Unite at the Israeli Parliament | Christian leaders from around the world and members of the Israeli parliament gathered in Jerusalem at the Knesset to pray and express solidarity with Israel, paving the path toward the “one new man” described in Ephesians 2:15–16, where Scripture speaks of breaking down division and bringing Jew and Gentile together as one body in Christ. Watch the Video
     In a time marked by growing antisemitism, misinformation, and division, this gathering carried a clear message of alignment with biblical truth and enduring Judeo Christian values. From Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you,” to Psalm 122:6, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you,” the call remains unchanged. We are invited to stand in prayer for Jerusalem and align ourselves with God’s ongoing purposes for Israel and the nations. Learn more

Out of Zion Ministries’ David Silver writes on one of the most important topics of the days we are living in. Like a few other issues the Israeli Ministries face, this is another one that something has GOT TO GIVE!
     Where are the Next Generation of Christian Zionists? |”This week I want to share with you an issue that has been on my heart for many years now. A few years ago I heard about a well respected Israeli ministry that held a Succot - Feast of Tabernacles celebration in London. More than 1200 people attended the event and one of the guest speakers asked the attendees to raise their hand if they were under 30 years old. Sadly only a very small number of hands were raised.
     “That came as a confirmation of what I saw in almost every Israel meeting or event that I was invited to during the 24 years that I was speaking in the nations before Covid hit. It was very rare, outside of Sunday Church services, that I saw young people in the audience. I  praise Adonai for the older folk, many of whom have been faithfully standing with, and praying for Israel for years, but we desperately need to raise up the upcoming generations to hand the 'Israel baton' to and follow in their parents and grandparents footsteps. If we don't, who will there be to stand with Israel and the Jewish people in the troubling times ahead?
     ". . . .If you are ... reading this article, you are most likely a Christian Zionist and may feel that you are not a 'normal' Christian. I want to tell you that you are normal. It is the others who are not Zionists who have a serious problem, and they are depriving the younger generations of knowing the truth about God and Israel. And they are depriving the Kingdom of God of the next generation of those who will love, pray for and stand with Israel and the Jewish people. To make the situation even worse the young people are being corrupted by the anti Semitic content on social media and the internet. Unless this most serious situation changes, and the Lord tarries, where will the next generation of Christian Zionists come from?'  Read in full here
 
Chaim Malespin of the Aliyah Return Center sent  video and a message 5/59:
     This week, I had the privilege of representing the Aliyah Return Center at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast. It was truly a breath of fresh air. In a season of war, with far fewer visitors making the journey to Israel, there was something deeply encouraging about gathering with people who are standing with us in prayer through these difficult times. At the request of our hosts, I had the opportunity to share a presentation on the current situation on the ground.
     As we are approaching nearly 1,000 days of war, I still have hope. What helps me stand strong, is remembering God’s promises. We trust that He is leading us toward victory in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and beyond. At the same time, it is undeniable that antisemitism has risen sharply across the globe since the war began. Jewish communities in the UK, France, and many other nations are facing a level of hostility that is deeply troubling.
     I believe we are on the cusp of a great wave of Aliyah. Once this war end, I believe more Jewish people will be returning home to Israel. This is a fulfillment of God's Word. He has promised that He would call His people home, and He is faithful. Not every Jewish immigrant arrives from a place of comfort or stability. Many families settling in the Galilee are arriving with very little, facing real hardship as they begin their new lives. That is precisely why the Aliyah Return Center is here — providing clothing and furniture distribution, grocery vouchers, and practical support wherever we can.
     Every family we serve is a testimony to God's faithfulness in action. WILL YOU STAND WITH US? We cannot do this work alone. As the wave of Aliyah grows, so does the need. Your generosity makes it possible to welcome each family and help assist them in getting started in their new homeland. Would you consider making a donation today to support Jewish families returning home to Israel?

Lou Engle’s IFCJ Folly

Unequally Yoked! 
by Donna Diorio

I could write a book on the ignorance of Lou Engle thinking he is standing with Israel well in a partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews WHO OPPOSE MESSIANIC JEWS IN ISRAEL & anywhere else. Lou Engle has made a massive misstep.

How is it that Lou Engle has rubbed elbows with Israel and American Messianic Jews for years and has failed to grasp that Christians cannot align with the Jewish organizations that oppose Jews being in the faith of Jesus?

IFCJ obviously courted Lou Engle and every dime they get through this strategic alignment is STEALING from the Gospel-carriers in Israel! Not only that, it will further embolden the religious opposition against Messianics in Israel. How long will Christians continue in these blind spots about Israel and God's plans to join Christians to our SPIRITUAL FAMILY IN ISRAEL, the believing Jews who follow and preach Yeshua/Jesus.

This is TERRIBLE! The very definition of spiritually “unequaled yoked.” In the days we live God is endeavoring to bring Christians and the Israeli Messianic Jews into a unity according to the Ephesians 2:15 spiritual marriage of “one new man” in the faith of Messiah. Only those Christians and Messianic Jews who enter into God’s plan from this point on are advancing the Kingdom of God and the salvation of “all Israel” in the days ahead. Those who refuse on either side cannot fulfill God’s ultimate purposes for the restoration of His WHOLE family in humankind.

Just like we are warned in many places not to be “unequally yoked” with unbelievers in marriage relationships (2 Corinthians 6:4, Exodus 34:10-16, and Deuteronomy 7:1-5) our spiritual alignments in Israel are to be made with our spiritual kin in Israel – the body of Messiah. The reason is the same as it is in marriage between a man and woman: to enter into a marriage to an unbeliever will put us at cross-purposes with the unbeliever we have yoked ourselves to. Such unions will likely turn hearts away from God’s will because believers and non-believers have fundamentally opposing spiritual natures. The number one being as the Apostle Paul said, “They are enemies of the Gospel.”

Many a well meaning Christian has been turned against of the body of Jesus-followers in Israel, opposing the Messianic Jewish believers in their efforts to bring the Good News to their fellow Israeli citizens. These Christian leaders refuse to listen to the reality of the wrong path they have taken, some have fallen deep into the lie that the Israeli Messianic believers in Yeshua are “a cult” because their “friends”  the unbeliever Jewish organizations who receive donations from Christians have told them it is so.

 When will the long list of Christians who have locked in with the unbelief of Israeli Jews understand that it is the faith of Israeli Messianic Jews that carry the anointing of the Holy Spirit to bring “all Israel” unto faith in Messiah Yeshua?

Lou Engle should be hearing about the folly of this alliance with IFCH from everyone who cares. The influence he has with young people is also going to continue to lead them down the wrong path regarding Israel. Enough with the willy nilly approach of Christians to Israel!

Moses Turned Aside Taking Notice

 God chose Moses from the womb and protected him from death when the enemy tried to destroy a generation of sons from whom the deliverer of Israel would arise. BUT the FIRST ENCOUNTER Moses had with God did not happen until much later, and the first test that Moses passed was recorded in Exodus 3:4

"When the LORD saw that Moses had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered."

Who is paying attention to what God plans to do? I think about my return to God in 1982 in the same way. I was delighted to learn that God was "NOW" not passive towards our trials in life. At the same time, I was gripped with one question about the Church almost from the beginning: 'This is great, but where are all the Jews?'

I have distinct memory of thinking that exact thing as I stood in the sanctuary in the first year at the first church we made a return to God in. The church was pastored by a televangelist preaching the prosperity message. . .a prosperity that never manifested materially in our lives. It was a message that put me off the more I read the Bible. We moved on from there, but not once have I thought better of the question I had from the beginning. Like Moses, I turned aside to see that the church is great, but without the Jews it is incomplete. I was on the hunt from that time forward to find out where Jews were who believed in the Israeli Jewish Messiah.

The Israeli Messianic Jews are being starved out in ministry resources because too few Christians have turned aside to see what God is doing among them. They are like the burning bush of our day. Would I dare to think I could live in great prosperity while they are in increasing strangleholds of lack of ministry resources? No, I do not dare to think that way. Their plight is my plight, just like their vindication will be my vindication and it will come undeniably from God.

Will God use you? First you have NOTICE what God wants you to notice - like a tree engulfed in fire yet not consumed by it.

Arrows from Zion Summary of Prayer Points for Israeli Ministries
Prayer Requests & the Chronicles of the Remnant of Faith in Israel   

Reuven Doron, One New Man Today, writes a level-headed, well-informed analysis on what is happening in the actual front of dealing with Iran and her proxy terrorist war-makers on Israel:   Israel Under Siege | Israel continues to maintain daily limited military activities against the terror armies active on her Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria fronts since our enemies refuse to abide by the “ceasefire” agreements they signed. We wouldn’t say that “we told you so,” but the fact is that we did tell you in past writings that paper agreements and political maneuverings with Jihadi muslims simply buy them precious time to re-arm, refresh, and renew their evil acts. The true Islamic spirit and mindset cannot and will not surrender to any “Infidel,” whether Zionist or Christian. Israel’s presence in the Middle East remains Islam's biggest “call to action” and main excuse for their repeated and flagrant national failures. Please keep our soldiers in your prayers.  Our troops are in harm’s way, and our civilian border communities daily come under enemy fire. read it in full
     Reuven also shares this on the past weekend’s Pentecost: The First Revival  AND if you didn’t already read Reuven’s fantastic article, The Cost of Vision, on the true story of friendship between Theodore Herzl and the Reverend William Henry Hechler, and how it laid the foundational start in the late 1800’s for the State of Israel – you really don’t know what you are missing. God intends us to work TOGETHER!

Leon Mazin, Return to Zion congregation in Haifa writes, The First Fruits are People.
“The tables from Shavuot have been cleared. The children have gone home. The songs, conversations, laughter, and prayers of the festival have quieted. But the real fruit of this gathering is only beginning. Shavuot reminds us of harvest, first fruits, and the giving of God’s Word — but here in Haifa, we saw again that. . .the first fruits are people. Families came. Children listened. New immigrants and local Israeli families entered a place of warmth, community, and biblical meaning. This is why Return to Zion creates these gatherings. We are not simply organizing holiday events. We are building a bridge — from event to relationship, from relationship to trust, and from trust to genuine spiritual openness.
    Many of the families we serve, especially olim who have returned to Israel from the nations, are still searching for stability, belonging, and a meaningful place in the land. A holiday festival may look simple from the outside, but inside it are seeds: a child hearing the story of Sinai, a parent feeling welcomed, a family discovering that they are not alone, and a relationship beginning that can continue long after the event ends. This is the harvest we are asking you to help us continue. . . .Would you stand with us today and help us continue turning these moments into lasting fruit?

The Tree of Life Israel team leader Ariel Hyde send this great podcast following the Shavuot Feast of the LORD foreshadowing Acts 2 outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Yeshua’s disciples, “When the day of Pentecost came.”  The podcast addresses Why We Need More of the Spirit.

And please share this video on all social media outlets!

Israel Pochtar pastor of Beit Hallel in Ashdod writes, “This week, we are reminded that the harvest Jesus spoke about is not theoretical—it is right in front of us here in Israel. Sometimes that harvest looks like a lonely nursing home resident opening her heart to prayer for the very first time. Sometimes it looks like Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem receiving dignity, fellowship, and loving care. Sometimes it looks like young people opening the Scriptures and learning to recognize the voice of Yeshua in a confused generation. And sometimes it looks like creating practical ways to feed struggling families with dignity across this land. This is the beauty of Kingdom ministry. The love of Yeshua reaches both the heart and the hands. Again and again, we see how simple acts of obedience can become doorways for eternal impact.
     Thank you for standing with us in this work. Through your prayers and partnership, lives are being touched across Israel—through both spiritual ministry and practical compassion. The harvest is still plentiful, and we are grateful to be laboring in it together.

Chaim Malesin, The Faithful Galileans writes, Keep the Altar Burning: Support the Galilee Movement | The Wall is Finished. Now, We Fill the City. In the book of Nehemiah, the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt in 52 days. When their enemies saw it, they lost their confidence  because they knew this work was done with the help of God.  Over these past 52 days, you helped us do the same in the Galilee. Stone by stone, the renovations are complete. The Vertical Galilee House of Prayer and our two base buildings are finished. We have a new kitchen for Shabbat hospitality and living spaces ready for those standing with Israel. To everyone who prayed, gave, and entered the shofar drawing (Again congratulations to Thomas from Grace Family Church!), thank you!
     But the wall is just the beginning. The city is not yet full. Our Next Goal: Rallying 120 Nations | When we set out on this 52-day journey, it was never just about bricks and mortar. The vision has always been global: to rally leaders in 120 nations to launch a massive prayer and volunteer movement. Email Reply here to learn more

Michael Beener of the City of Life in Sderot writes, “Israel and the Church, Separated or Connected? |Israel continues to be one of the most discussed places in the world, yet much of the conversation today is shaped by politics, media narratives, and public opinion. Within this complexity, there is also a need to return to a different lens, one rooted in Scripture, where Israel is not only viewed through current events but through what the Bible says about its place in God’s story. In a conversation with Pastor Denis Gallaher, this perspective was clearly emphasized WATCH.

Rachel Netanel of the House that God Gave in Ein Kerim writes: The God of Israel is faithful! | While Israel has been at war, God has been at work in the hearts of His people. These days have been an incredible time for sharing the Gospel especially during the war. While rockets fall and soldiers have been called up including the reserve soldiers, Israelis are feeling frightened, insecure, depressed and confused.  They want to know what is happening.  This is the time of the harvest. . . . The people need hope and we as believers have this hope. Their ears are open to listen and the believers in the true Messiah of Israel must be faithful to speak out. The very Land of Israel is a miracle, and nations have wanted to destroy us for centuries but the God of Israel is a faithful God.  There is no safer place to be, but under His protection. Rachel and Gilad serve hospitality and the Good News to the Israelis of all walks of life brought to their home by friends, relatives and even tour guides. Large groups or small groups, this is a house ministry devoted to sharing with Israelis the love Messiah has for them. I always enjoy hearing of the groups they are hosting - including the recent soldiers from her grandson's unit. Rachel is a significant evangelist in Israel, don’t think it’s just a hospitality home!

Avner Boskey writes from David’s Tent, “Today it is time for us to give you an update on our Ezekiel 37 Institute.  We are happy, excited, encouraged and expectant! ....We are a few weeks away from the release of E37 on multiple media platforms.  Today it really struck me that we are birthing something that could be described as a full-fledged and unique media company.  We are about to launch a huge amount of top-notch teaching on multiple media platforms – about Israel, the end times, the Bible, Jewish history past and present, prophecy and more.  These will be full-length videos, short-form videos, graphics, texts, links and other updates.” Read in full online

Dov Bikas writes from the Aviv Ministry, “When you look at the different projects the Lord has entrusted to us, you may ask: what unites all these people we serve? At first glance, they seem very different – people struggling with addiction and homelessness, single mothers and their children, victims of domestic violence, new immigrants, people with disabilities, the elderly, and the poor. Yet behind so many of these stories we see one common reality: vulnerability....God calls His people to care for “the widow, the orphan, and the stranger.” Why them specifically? I believe these were the most vulnerable members of society....We believe God sees these people with the same compassion He showed throughout the Bible. With your partnership, we seek to bring them His love and care – sharing the Gospel, creating safe places, offering practical help, and supporting them on their path toward restoration. Thank you for walking this journey together with us! You can see much of what they are doing by following Aviv Ministry on Facebook.

Stefan Silver writing for his parent’s Out of Zion ministry, writes of An Immovable Covenant: “Because you share in this covenant, you are called to a specific labor of love. In an age of rising global anti-semitism and anti-Israelism, you must be the ones who stand on the walls and declare the truth of God’s faithfulness to those who stand against Israel. To love the Jewish people is to reflect the compassion of the Lord mentioned in Isaiah 54 – standing with the physical nation of Israel while fervently interceding for and supporting its spiritual awakening. While the mountains of geopolitical stability may depart, and the hills of international favor may be removed, the Word of our God stands forever. Israel is home. The King is at the door. And His Covenant of Peace will never be shaken.” Read all the letter online

Tikkun Global’s Ariel Blumenthal looks at Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 to speak to a Double Portion for the One New Man. This teaching explores how Luke 4 reveals Yeshua’s mission, the resistance in Israel’s heart, and God’s plan to bring the Gospel beyond Israel to the nations. Could Isaiah 61 also be speaking prophetically about the restoration of Zion, the unity of Jew and Gentile, and a ‘double portion’ blessing for those who partner with God’s purposes? | Read Ariel’s article One New Man: The Mystery of Messiah | New Worship Song "Tov Adonai U'Mehulal Meod," an original Hebrew song written by Jeremiah Smilovici, inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:8–9.

The team at Tiferet Yeshua in Tel Aviv led by Moti Cohen write, about “Investing in the Harvest | Two weeks ago, we shared how the historic drop of the dollar has impacted our ministry finances. The response of many of you was a beautiful answer to prayer, and we thank God for your faithfulness! Yet, our financial challenge is not over, and the need to keep our doors open in downtown Tel Aviv remains urgent. While we navigate this financial storm, the work of the Gospel does not stop. | Also A Testimony of Harvest : “The things we see there on the streets during our outreach are not easy, but one sight pierced my heart and shocked me deeply…read more here

Howard Bass of the Beer Sheva Nachalat Yeshua congregation (Yeshua’s Inheritance) writes, “One lesson that this carnal and spiritual war with Iran, etc, that the US and others should be learning is how unrealistic they have been, even hypocritical, in expecting Israel to come to terms with Hamas when they themselves don't and can't defeat them or Iran, or Hezbollah; ceasefires only strengthen the enemy, making it more difficult to renew the war for the "right" side. A carnal enemy may surrender, at least outwardly; a spiritual enemy cannot be defeated by the flesh, or the force of arms. God will make use of those things, but until the Messiah returns and fights the final battle Himself (and with the resurrected and raptured saints, if I understand correctly), evil will have the upper hand that only Yeshua/Jesus can permanently cut off! Antisemitism is a spiritual battle fought in the heavenlies, carried out in the flesh on the Earth. Again, there is no rational or humanistic solution to a spiritual hatred against the Sovereign YHVH God, who has chosen to make the Jewish people and Israel His chosen instruments through whom He will glorify His holy Name in all the Earth.  Had He chosen the Arabs to be that vessel, then all of the animus against Him would be directed at them.
     Antisemitism is a two-edged sword:  those who hate and persecute and despise and humiliate Jews for being Jewish, and Christians for being associated with the Christ, Jesus, those people will bring YHVH's wrath on them on the Day of the LORD; those who bless them and take their stand with them and for them, even at personal risk, God will bless.  The other side of this sword is to cause more Jewish people to consider who they are, and why living in Israel is God's plan for them, even, again, at much personal risk.  God's promises of redemption, salvation, and resurrection for those whose hope and trust is in Him, and more specifically through Jesus/Yeshua, is His antidote to every curse and poison.

Rania Sayegh of the House of Prayer & Exploits sends these:  The Roar of the Lion & the Spirit of Prophecy (prophetic word) | Vision of the River in the Midst of Iran | Christian Arab prophetic intercessor in Nazareth: “Thank you for standing with us as we pursue God’s presence and believe for revival, transformation, and lasting impact in this season.
Called to Watch. Faithful to Discern. Ready to Respond.”

From Avi & Chaya Mizrachi at Dugit Outreach in Tel Aviv: What does it mean to bless Israel?  "Certainly, we can bless Israel by praying for the peace of Jerusalem, standing with the Jewish people, and supporting the nation through difficult times. Yet there is an even greater blessing we can offer. The greatest need in Israel today is not political or economic - it is spiritual. Many Israelis know the stories of the Bible, but have never encountered Yeshua as the promised Jewish Messiah. That is why we are committed to sharing the Good News throughout Israel - in our congregation, through outreach events, on the streets of Tel Aviv, in our coffee shop, and through personal conversations every day. When you pray, give, and partner with ministries that proclaim the Good News in Israel, you are helping bring the greatest blessing of all: the message of salvation. For more than 30 years, DUGIT Outreach Ministries has been bringing the Good News of Yeshua to the people of Israel. We share the gospel, make disciples, pray without ceasing, and care for the hurting. Our Outreach Center and HaOgen Coffee House are located in Tel Aviv, Israel. Thank you for standing with us as we make Yeshua known in the land of Israel. Donate

Aleksey Raikhstadt of Beit Immanuel congregation in Jaffa sens these prayer requests: • Pray for the baptism of the new believers, that each one would be firmly established in faith, filled with the Holy Spirit, and strengthened to walk faithfully with the Lord • Pray for the anointing of a new elder, for wisdom, humility, discernment, and the empowering of the Holy Spirit for the calling entrusted to him • Pray for our monthly evangelism tours, which we’ve been able to resume in the midst of the ceasefire, and that the seeds planted would begin to take root. • Pray for families who were left without work during the war and are now struggling to make ends meet, that the Lord would provide for their daily needs • Pray for God’s provision for our monthly rent and facility needs, so that we may continue to have a physical place to gather, worship, disciple, and serve the community together.
     These are not simple days for Israel. The security concerns around us are heavy and felt daily by every family in one way or another. Yet even in the midst of this, we see the faithfulness of God again and again. Where there is darkness, His light continues to shine. Where there is fear, He is drawing people into hope. Thank you for standing with us so faithfully, through prayer, encouragement, and partnership. Your support strengthens the work of the Gospel here in the very same land He first poured out His Spirit.

Youval & Valerie Yanay of Revive Israel write: “There was something beautiful about worshipping together during Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks) this year. As believers from across Israel gathered at the Baptist Village, you could feel the gratitude, the hunger, and the longing for God among the people as they were bringing their hearts before the Lord. . . .This national Messianic gathering reminded us that first fruits are not only brought from the field, but also from lives fully yielded to God and set apart for His glory.
And it didn’t begin there. Just the evening before, more than 400 young people from across Israel gathered together at Yad Hashmona for a night of worship and praise. Raphael had the opportunity to help lead worship there, and there was something beautiful about watching so many young believers openly worshipping Yeshua together, fully giving their hearts to the Lord. In a generation carrying so much confusion and heaviness, while living in a continual state of war and conflict, it was deeply moving to watch young believers openly worshipping Yeshua and responding to the presence of God. . . .During Shavuot, we are reminded again that the Holy Spirit is still moving, still drawing hearts to Yeshua, still healing, strengthening, and awakening people to the presence of God. Our prayer is that worship and surrender would continue rising from this land to the nations.”
     5/29 This week was emotional for all of us as the discipleship program came to an end, and it was hard to say goodbye after everything these weeks held.  . . .As part of our last few days together, we spent one evening at the beach. We sat there eating grilled fish while Liel shared about the love of God. Yeshua also sat with His disciples beside the sea, eating fish with them and speaking words that restored, called, and strengthened them. What made the evening even more powerful was that earlier that same morning, we had spent hours praying individually over every student. Later that night, many of them were still talking together about those prayers and about what God had been speaking into their lives.
     As we end one season, we are preparing for the next with a group of 29 Israeli youth who will head with us to France at the beginning of July. We are excited for what the Lord will do through this next step, and we would love prayer for protection, provision, unity, and breakthrough in the lives of every young person joining. If this is on your heart, we also invite you to sow into this journey and help make it possible for these young people to encounter the Lord in a deep and personal way.

Jennifer Guetta, Plant Hope Israel, wrtes about “Israeli New Agers dream about Jesus, Harvest Festival in the Galilee, Worship evening, Special BIRTHDAY REVEAL PARTY , and America tour.”
| "In the midst of the war, the Lord Himself is awakening His people with dreams and visions. Last week, we heard 2 amazing stories of New Agers who dreamed about Yeshua, discovered that He was the Messiah and made Him Lord.....When many people come to know the Lord, they need prayer, deliverance, and discipleship. The Lord is putting it on our hearts to prepare for the coming revival so we can help these people. To facilitate deliverance, prayer, and discipleship....Will you help us? Please pray about it and let us know by helping us. |
     On the 11th of June (my birthday), I am organizing a special birthday reveal party for my new personal paintings. During the war, as rockets flew over our heads, I started painting Jesus in Galilee. Focusing on Him calmed me. . . .I started drawing Him more and more, from my heart to reveal His glory to others. Each image is meant to bring you closer to Him. May these paintings help bring His glory to your household, and may He be revealed to all. WATCH LIVE ON YOUTUBE - write for the Zoom details.
     AMERICA TOUR In July and August, I will be on tour in many places in America. As soon as I have more details, I will post them here for you. ...We are looking for people who want to help invest into this amazing tour. We need to raise about $9,000 to cover travel and ministry costs for events in California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina and beyond. Will you help me bring hope to America? My journey from the trenches of archaeology to the glory of God is a wake-up call for the modern world.

Joseph Magen of Kehila.org is the part of the new generation of Israeli ministry leaders pioneering outreach. This is the major area of change for young people because they are dominantly getting their news, entertainment and learning from ONLINE VIDEO.
     Old School communications had to include printed materials sent by postal mail to supporters. Then came email and everyone, even those dependent upon print material by postal delivery, had to get used to the fact that people wanted their information coming by email instead. That was us even for us, the generation now sporting naturally gray hair, able to write in cursive, and enjoying a good book to read.
     The upcoming generation doesn’t want that! They want FAST delivery. They want to watch and listen to whatever they consume from media sources. Most have zero interest in articles, books or even letters. Texting is their idea of writing.
     That’s why Joseph Magen’s Kehila site with over 49,790 videos from the Israeli Kehila is so brilliant. If you want to reach the younger generation with any message about Israel  and God’s love for Israel, you are going to want to use this comprehensive video site Joseph has put together. He has the very latest videos coming out of the Israeli Messianic community.
     Go explore and see it you don’t find videos – short and long – that you can send to friends & family to make a real impact. And please support this ministry. It is going to make such a major impact especially for the younger generations who have not yet discovered that the salvation of Israel is God’s plan and Christians are called to help make it happen. You can subscribe in the banner header at kehila.org and get the updates of new videos straight to your email. So worth knowing about and supporting too.
