Reuven Doron’s
letter Fresh Dew
can be read in full, click to read on Facebook – and there is so much good in
this perspective: “This biblical Land Dispute in
the Middle East will continue to spread around the world, like a massive
tsunami, until all nations are brought into “The Valley of Decision” as the
Hebrew prophets foretold long ago. Everyone on earth will be given a choice
to be FOR or AGAINST God’s sovereign will; to submit to or to resist His
election, His covenant promises, and His Kingdom rule. The Gospel
message, if declared fully and faithfully according to the Scriptures, is the
only remedy to this global darkness that is fast spreading. …The days are
coming when the way each nation treats their “remnant of Jacob” will directly affect the measure in
which that nation will be able to receive the “dew from the Lord” and the “showers on the grass.” Pray for your nation and do good to the
remnant of Jacob among you.”

Reuven shares a recent ministry trip in
the Philippines when an giant map of Israel was laid out on the stadium floor
and Christians invited down to take up prayer positions all over the map. He
writes, “Words fail to express the intensity, purity, and power of prayer
which erupted in the arena for the Peace of Jerusalem. During that prayer time,
the entire landmass of Israel was literally “covered” by praying Christians.”
He also writes an explanation of why he
says “Gaza is a lost cause” because it is is a terror infested region, and the great majority of its residents have been
brain-washed and manipulated by radical Islam…. Apart from the mercies of
God and the power of the Gospel, there will be no happy ending to their story.”
From Tikkun Global: Asher Intrater had a
disturbing dream that repeated itself several times. It involved terrorists booby-trapping the attempted
rescue of hostages. Was it a warning? Let’s PRAY! Watch this 1 ½
minute video where Asher explains the request for prayers to made.

From northern Israel, I asked Fields of Wheat’s Eitan Shishkoff
about uptick in rocket barrages from Hezbollah, he
answered: “Abundant
PRAYER is just what’s needed now. We are praying that the forces of evil across the
northern border are withheld from wider attack, and rendered powerless.”
Howard Bass of the Yeshua’s
Inheritance congregation in Beer Sheva leads with the “168th
of the war in Gaza, and of the nightmarish captivity of still 134 Israeli,
mostly Jewish, hostages. Their families also live the nightmare daily, whether
they sleep or whether they are awake. Israel did not begin this war, yet most
of "the world" is telling Israel not to win the war.” He
continues, “A
couple days ago, I was part of a prayer and intercession gathering of Jewish,
Arab, and "other" pastors, leaders, intercessors. We all
recognize the importance of our love and unity during such a troublesome time
in our country, and affecting all sectors and people throughout, from the South
to the North. There
was special prayer, and especially by the Arab pastors, for the well-being and
release of the captive hostages being held in intolerable conditions. It was
also brought out that we do not have a mandate to demand their immediate
release now, but that God would work through the government and military to affect
their release in a manner that would also
accomplish His other objectives. . . . He is making collectively Jewish and
Gentile believers in Yeshua the corporate Bride of the Lamb. Not all Israel is Israel; not all the Church
is the Church: those who repent and
believe the gospel will have part in the New Jerusalem for eternity with the
Lord.”

Pastor Israel Pochtar of the Ashdod congregation Beit Hallel and Voice of Judah ministries was inspired by
an American Pastor who left the safety of his home in Florida to come to Israel
to “Comfort, comfort My people.” Pastor
Arnie, Pochtar writes, “was determined to bring support
to the people of Israel. The Lord had called him to action and FAITH would be
his shield. In today’s world, supporting Israel in this conflict with Hamas
takes courage. It’s unbelievable to witness the same evil that, committed
horrific atrocities against the Jewish people during WWII, is rearing its ugly
head once again….These echoes of the past serve as a warning to Christians that
we must remain vigilant in these times. Inaction is a form of complicity….If
not us then who?

A report from Fields of Wheat
as they went to a remote IDF camp just a few miles from the Lebanon border. Some
of the tank battalion have been stationed there for the entire 5-month winter.
Eitan writes, “No wonder they were happy to
see us unloading enough meat, fresh fruit, veggies, and portable grills to
treat them to a barbecue feast. Aided by cheerful volunteers from a
Jerusalem-based Messianic ministry, we set to work immediately as the sun was
already low in the sky. Some revved up the grills, some chopped green salad,
while others created fruit salad, all enough to feed the entire battalion…. The
funds you entrust to us enable us to touch the lives of these dedicated men and
women—living away from their homes and families. Your prayers are holding them
before the Lord of Hosts.”
Reality Check | Thank
you for standing with us in the unrelenting reality of war. Friends, we are all
undergoing a "reality check." How real is our faith? How strong is our
commitment to one another? How can we stand in these tumultuous times? [For
further understanding of this current conflict, its prophetic significance, and
the new level of faith God is calling us to, please listen to my covenant
friend, Asher Intrater, in this video, "Purim-Past and Present"

Also David writes, “For
the first few months of the war in Gaza, Israel had the support of many of the
governments of the non-Muslim nations, who at that time realised that Israel
had been attacked in a most vicious and inhumane way by the terrorists from
Gaza. However as the
war continues for much longer than expected, and most of the media focuses
on the suffering of the so-called 'innocent people' of Gaza (maybe about
15 percent of the population), more and more countries are pressuring
Israel to submit to the unreasonable demands of Hamas and agree to a cease-fire
in the hope of the release of the hostages. Not only is Israel being pressured
to do what they want, a growing number of these nations are threatening to
ban the sale of military supplies if Israel does not comply. It began with the United States….Then last week the

Revive Israel’s Youval and Valerie Yanay share about hosting friends from Gateways Beyond Cyprus as they prepare
the field for the summer crop. Also that their community values that each
member serves in a local congregation or church. They ask prayer for their upcoming
Discipleship Training program this May-June and for
the June-July youth program for France. Youval also writes, Pain and Joy | Just before Valerie and I got married, David and
Emma Rudolph, our spiritual parents, took us to a meeting. It was in a small
fish restaurant on the French side of Lake Leman in Switzerland. They said to
Valerie and me, ‘Through your married life, you will go through difficult
times. There will be hardships, confusion, pain, and even despair. You will go
through darkness, the valley of the shadow of death, dark tunnels. You will
come out from the other side; there is no doubt about it, that is for sure.

2. What God’s Doing in Israel this Year, and How You Can Be a Part of It
| Vision, Goals, and Plans for 2024 | Even during an agonizing war in
Israel, we find strength in the fact that our God fulfills 100% of His plans,
promises, and eternal purposes. And it’s amazing to see how even during this
crisis, He’s stirring more Israelis to seek and find their Messiah, Yeshua,
Jesus.

Aliyah Return Center writes about Daniel who despite being “taken captive into Babylon, served God despite all of the tragedies and loss that he faced in his life.” They write Daniel’s intercession for his people and “As believers in the truth, as watchman for the house of Israel, and as the Bride, let us be inspired by the example of Daniel. Our prayer is that Israel and the body of Messiah, that we would draw near to God and follow Him faithfully. I pray that we would have the faithfulness of Daniel, to stand strong despite the adversities we may face. We are so grateful for your intercession on behalf of Israel and the world.” Watch this video with Chaim Malespin #SetTheCaptivesFree
Restoration from Israel
(Dan & Patty Juster, Ben & Lorena Juster) are filling important roles,
each in their own sphere. We often include the work that Dan and Ben lead, but
this time the focus is on the vision Patty has to a Healing Center just outside of
Jerusalem. It came to her the first time in a dream in 2003, then she saw the
same facility as Asher took them to a building he had been looking at in 2004.
The building was the same as in Patty’s dream and “on top
of the building was written in Hebrew letters מלון מרופא גן חיים (Healing Hotel – Garden of Life).” The building remains empty, and is
deteriorating, but the dream it represents is very alive in Patty who now is
seeing “with the war and the growing need for trauma healing, many are being
stirred to establish some kind of healing center near Jerusalem.” So far there
have been a few people who have sat together to brainstorm how God wants to
accomplish this. Several international ministries are even expressing interest
and passion to bring comfort to the mourners in Israel. Please be keeping
this vision in prayer. This dream is for such a time as this! Israel is in
mourning and it is the time for Isaiah 61 to be fulfilled!
Patty also wrote about the
women’s conference that was double the size of all other women’s conferences
that has drawn the believer women in Israel together. She writes, “There was such joy as many of these women had not
seen each other for several years. This time together highlighted to many that
in times of trials and difficulties we needed one another. It was good to see
that we were not alone. We were able
to share our sorrows, our losses, or concerns over our loved ones fighting in
the war. The messages were uplifting as
well.”
Aleksey Raikhstadt leads the Beit
Immanuel congregation in Jaffa
(Watch Aleksey’s
testimony here). He begins with thanking you
for praying for their congregation and for Israel. “Our nation is still at war,
soldiers have given their lives to protect Israel’s borders, and more than 100
are still in captivity, suffering at the hands of Hamas. Our congregation
continues to take an active role in supporting soldiers and families most
affected by the war.” Some of the things they are involved with are blessing
Holocaust survivors, bringing Light into the street people on the “darkest
corners of South Tel Aviv,” as well as bringing the Gospel to live giving tours
to local Israelis. “Sharing our faith in Israel isn’t always easy and has its
share of challenges. It is common for us as believers to experience intense
verbal objections and backlash, and there are some who have encountered
physical attacks or damage to congregation and ministry buildings. “But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews
a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness.” - I Corinthians 1:23
They also bless the needy: “God has opened up numerous doors for our
congregation to serve those in need. The Israel-Hamas war left people without
jobs and sent many on unpaid leave while prices for food and gas skyrocketed,
making it difficult for large families, single parents, and the elderly to
provide basic necessities for themselves and for their families.” To help them click here.
Rania Sayegh, the Christian Arab who heads the House of Prayer & Exploits
ministry in Nazareth writes, “As believers in this land, we are taking our stand as Esther,
pleading with the King of Heaven to intervene on behalf of His people. Here at HOPE, we continue our daily prayer and
worship meetings, crying out for a breakthrough in the spirit, and for God's
will to be done in everything. . . . . We continue praying and interceding for
the 134 hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza, with no access to medicine
and only very little food, that they may sense the comfort of the Lord in their
difficult situation, and that they may very soon be released and able to return
back home to their families. We are also praying for the people of Gaza,
who are suffering because of their evil government, who is using them as a
"human shield" and violently denying them access to the humanitarian
aid that is being brought into Gaza.”
Rania also attended the Bat
Zion women’s conference held in Netanya a few weeks ago writing it was “something we all needed very much right now. This
month, I also went on a very important prayer assignment in Jerusalem for
deepening the unity between the Jewish and the Arab family. …a group of 45 people went on a confidential, prophetic assignment
in Jerusalem during Purim. We were a remnant of Jews, Arab and internationals from different
backgrounds, who were involved in this prophetic prayer assignment of reversing
a decree during Purim. To support this valued
Arab ministry – who walks with the
Israeli Messianic Jews closely too – click here to learn
