Mr. Netanyahu Goes to Washington
by Donna Diorio
Welcoming PM Netanyahu to meet with President Trump is putting everyone on notice that the false accusations against Israel are disregarded by the Trump administration. In fact, while in Israel after Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff saw IDF documentation of acts of Hamas brutality and sexual assault. Witkoff was so shocked by the atrocities he decided it was something the President needed to view before his meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister.
According to Israeli newspaper reports, “The 47-minute IDF compilation of footage from Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel to kill some 1,200 people and seize 251 hostages, mostly civilians, amid acts of brutality and sexual assault, will be shortened to 20-30 minutes for the US president.”
President Trump, proved in his first presidency (2017-2021) to be a wonderful friend and supporter of Israel, getting things done for the Jewish homeland that had been requested many times in the past yet remained unfulfilled until Trump.
The new US President, who has been in office only two weeks, has already turned the nation’s federal government upside down. It is what we voted for him to do – deal with the Deep State who thought they deserved to run the country according to their own vision not what voters mandated. We who voted for him are many, and our expectations were high at what Trump could to do to turnaround the deteriorating state of our nation. Still, most of us are amazed how swiftly and thoroughly Trump is doing what we wanted. Even beyond our highest expectation, Trump has delivered.
We continue to pray that President Trump will continue his track record of delivering for Israel. Trump clearly believes God saved him miraculously for a reason. I have to believe part of that reason is to provide Israel with a true friend who can stand against any and all nations to do what is right.
And the Big News this week is: Netanyahu-Trump Meeting

Summarized from the Weekly Summary of Prayer
Requests Israeli Ministries
Reuven Doron sent a Michelle
Bachmann video calling for prayers this week
with Trump and Netanyahu. You may appreciate hearing it even though Netanyahu
departs the US tomorrow. Reuven writes, “Our prayers are with President
Trump as he, with his amazing team, labors fast and furious to “drain the
swamp” and bring urgent corrections to the course that America and, subsequently,
the rest of the world will follow for the next season. With the levels of
Woke, progressive, and godless policies impacting our culture, governments, and
leading institutions, consequential judgments are at the door. Only a sharp
turn towards God’s ways leading to an actual REVIVAL will carry us safely on.”
“….For
nearly a year we have shared our convictions with you that Gaza MUST be
decisively defeated, its population dispersed, and its territory annexed by
Israel…. President Trump’s initiative to “Drain Gaza” may be the
answer to those prayers. May the Land of Gerar be redeemed from the darkness of
Islam and return to become a region of fertile fields and pastureland for the
sons and daughters of Jacob…. Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in a violent
murderous campaign against the Palestinian Authority in 2007, its Arab population has
been brainwashed, indoctrinated, and hopelessly seduced by the Spirit of
radical Islam. Even now, 15 months after the
October 7 massacre and the terrible war Hamas started with Israel, 80% or
more of Gazans still support Hamas. Read Reuven’s full report here. Also read Reuven’s Feb 1 article Jehovah Rapha, Heal My People

No Prayer in Our
Congregation?! That is the urgent headline in
the last email from City of Life in Sderot led by Michael Beener. That is because
they had another court hearing regarding the sue of their building. The
ultra-Orthodox in Sderot are making big problems for the congregation and “The judge ruled that we could keep our
distribution center open but under strict limitations. We have been declared guilty and
given a heavy fine, which we must pay in order to continue
operating. This means that we can no longer fully use our building for
various purposes, especially as a
congregation. For now, we are not
allowed to hold prayer meetings only, and we are evaluating other options
for our gatherings and ministry activities.
Adding to this challenge, the property owners have informed us that
they plan to refurbish or sell the building soon. This puts us in an even more
difficult position, as we may be forced to either move to a provisional
facility, an area that is unsuitable for our ministry or leave the location
entirely. This uncertainty weighs heavily on us, but we trust that the Lord
is in control.”
The only
thing they are guilty of is faith in Yeshua. Watch
Our Video on the Constant Persecution On Our Ministry. There is a way to
help. They need to own their building.

Reconciliation Conference in Turkey
United for God’s Kingdom | Every year, we
are deeply humbled and honored to take part in the Reconcile Middle East
Conference in Istanbul, Turkey—a sacred and transformative gathering where
the Spirit of God moves mightily among His people from across the region….. It
is a holy moment, a divine appointment orchestrated by God Himself. Here,
pastors, ministry leaders, and believers from diverse backgrounds—many of whom
serve in nations where hostility toward Israel and Christianity runs deep—come
together in brotherhood and love. Despite the political, cultural, and
religious barriers that have long divided the region, these men and women
arrive not with resentment, but with hearts full of faith and a genuine desire
to see God’s Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven... Click title to read

On Feb 1st Pastor Najeeb & Elizabeth Atteih,
Immanuel Church Arab ministers sent a 3-month catch up on their activities that
included some background on them. I am going to concentrate here on that background: “In 1993, I experienced my conversion and
clearly recognized the gift that the Lord had given me—the gift of evangelism.
Thus began my journey of faith and ministry. In 2002, my beloved wife, our
two children Kareen and Tino, and I were called to Latrun. … Our
children, Kareen and Tino, have been faithful companions in our ministry over
the years. Tino surprised us when he decided to join the Israeli army. His
military service opened the door for us to meet and support other Christian
soldiers. From this experience, the initiative “House of the Messianic
Soldier” was born. … In 2003, motivated by a strong sense of calling, we
moved to Ramle to evangelize among the Arabic-speaking community. After five
years of dedicated ministry, a blessed congregation of about 90 believers was
established there. Over time, the Lord led us back to my hometown of Haifa,
where we founded the “Immanuel Congregation” in my childhood neighborhood near
my parents’ house. Despite challenges and opposition from my family, we
experienced how the Lord’s wonderful hand guided us every step of the way…. we
have established a gathering place for the Immanuel Congregation and for the
activities of the House of the Messianic Soldier.… During construction,
we were asked to include a shelter for crises and wartime for the soldiers
housed there. However, during the project, it was revealed that we had
unknowingly built on land owned by the Israeli government (Israel Lands
Authority) Unfortunately, we received a legal demand for 171,000 NIS
(approximately $48,319 or €46,287) due to government projects in the area
related to construction violations. After many discussions and appeals, we
submitted an official letter requesting that the authorities visit the site to
clarify the situation. The representatives were impressed by our
dedication to the soldiers and the community. After their visit, they decided
to deliberate internally and promised a response within 60 days. … In
addition to a debt reduction, it was agreed that the shelter will remain
intact and will not be demolished. Furthermore, no additional payments
will be required for this construction violation in the future—a truly remarkable
outcome.
We sincerely and humbly ask
for your help and support. With your
assistance, we can maintain our spiritual home and continue to support
Christian soldiers in the Israeli army. Every donation, no matter how big or
small, will help us overcome this challenge and spread the love of Jesus
Christ.

ministry in Honoring Soldiers Amid Challenges and Serving the Needy in Armenia please email these
dedicated Arab servants of the Lord and ask to be sent this ministry letter.
Oh! Important: “We also thank
the Lord for using Pastor Najeeb Johanan in partnership with the Dugit Center
organization (Avi
Mizrachi), to build bridges between Jewish and Arabic-speaking
communities. His work
fosters unity and understanding, serving as a vital link in spreading the
Gospel.
A great report from the Shelanu TV Station Manager, Evan Santoro,
speaking about the great relief of Israelis to see hostages coming home, and
also great sorrow for all the lives lost and the high price that has been paid
because of Islamic hatred. It is a question that plagues even Messianic
believers who know it is spiritual and against God even more than Jews. Evan
writes, “As believers in Yeshua, we know there is so much more going on than we
can see with our natural eyes. The never-ending hatred towards the Jewish
people has been kept ablaze by the enemy. If somehow, he can stop the
return of the Lord through the destruction of Israel, then he has won. We know that he will not win, although the struggle is great. God has a
plan and the scripture states to the contrary; “All Israel will be saved.” The Lord is not done with Israel!
Satan knows it and is doing all that he can to postpone his inevitable
demise.
How will Israelis know
the truth of God’s love? “They
need a preacher! They need to hear the truth for their eyes to be open! Here at Shelanu TV, we are broadcasting the
lifesaving message of Jesus 24/7 in Hebrew, by Israelis, for Israelis. We
are preaching the Salvation message via our social media platforms. We are
continually producing and releasing updated content that talks to the people of
Israel about their Messiah and His true identity. The good news is they are being reached
and hearing! Every day more Israelis are being introduced to the Gospel
message and their hearts are being softened and prepared for a great harvest.”
Eddie included 4 testimonies, which I don’t have room to share here but you can
email ShelanuTV and here is a link if you wish to donate to this great ministry reaching Israelis where they
are.
My apologies! I overlooked this email
from Ruby at Fields of Wheat (it came into 1 of 3 emails I use
trying to make sure I get the emails in from everyone!) Ruby talks about the
last Katzir camp during writing, “we've been
riding the wave of an incredible time at our teen Chanukah camp last month. It
was nothing short of extraordinary—watching God move powerfully in the lives of
the youth who joined us. Many of you have been following our journey, reading
our updates, and faithfully praying over these camps. First of all, thank you!
Your prayers and support are truly the foundation of everything we do.”
Ruby shared the morning
devotional he wrote for the last day of
the camp that are shared I groups of 6-7 teens, boys ‘ groups and girls’groups. “Each day begins with a quiet moment of
reflection, connection with God's Word, and lively discussion focusing on their
real questions and how to realistically live out the Scriptures day to day.” This devotional dealt with if we know we can
trust God. Part of it read, “The events of October 7 caused significant damage
to the sense of security within the people of Israel. We all know people who
were called up for reserve duty—maybe even our own siblings or parents. Some of
us know people who were wounded or even lost their lives in the war. All of
us, in one way or another, experienced it: the sirens, the explosions, and the
sight of rockets intercepted in the sky. This is a wound that will take a
long time to heal for our nation. . . . Life is full of ups and
downs. We all face challenges and difficulties. God invites us to confront them
with complete confidence that He is with us in every moment.” At the
conclusion of the discussion material, he gave 3 point on how to cultivate our
trust of God – Reading His Word, Sharing with Him in prayer & Remembering
His faithfulness.
Ruby ends
his letter to us with encouragement for the intercessors, “It’s not too early
to begin praying for our Passover camp in early April.…Please receive my
personal gratitude for our God-authored partnership. Your friend, Ruby
From the Faithful
Galilean, Chaim Malespin also of Aliyah Return Center, Chaim
unpacks the significance of the word “altar” for us today beginning with the
meaning in the Hebrew scriptures. He advances us past the type and shadow of
the ancient Hebrew altar where “the priests wept between the porch and the
altar” to today. Chaim writes, “I find this exciting, there is so much to
study and learn about the Tabernacle and the Temple and how it reflects Heaven.
However, right now, we are living in a time where there is no tabernacle, no temple, and no sacrifice system. Nonetheless, through Yeshua’s sacrifice, we have access to an altar that we can approach
with surrender and humility for the forgiveness of our sins.” Then citing Romans 12:1 about presenting our
bodies (temple) as “a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service.” We believe in the promise of the “Tabernacle of
David” being restored, along with miracles and wonders, that is why today
we believe that we must operate in the pattern and template of the
Tabernacle of David to provide a dwelling place for the presence of the King.
DD: Once
we get this mighty revelation of the Temple that Yeshua is raising up, we will
never waste another moment on the raising of a third temple in Jerusalem! The
real Heavenly Temple is the one Jesus is building is made of the living stones –
real people who are the temple of the Holy Spirit in their earthen bodies. LOVED this teaching on “altar” from Chaim.
Chaim
continues, “This past week, we connected with people from around the world
via Altar of
Prayer and those in Israel in the
Vertical Galilee House Of Prayer, to rededicate this place to the Lord. Watch the
Re-Dedication HERE That this could be a place where people can
make a commitment to connect from around the world here with Elohim to praise
and engage in intercessory worship.

The Tel Aviv congregation Tiferet Yeshua led by Gil & Tamar Afriat write, “One of the most important pillars of Tiferet Yeshua congregation is raising up families of strong, independent, spirit-filled believers in the Land of Israel. A strong, healthy and unified body of Messiah Yeshua can shine bright right here in Tel Aviv, extending the heart of God to those who do not yet know Him. This is why it is so significant for us to not only provide Biblical teaching to adults but also to the children so that they will grow up to have a personal relationship with Yeshua. We have an entire floor dedicated to children of all ages, where they learn to pray, praise, and walk in the ways of the Lord. We asked Debbie, our amazing leader of the children’s ministry, to share about her vision.

Additionally, seven new families joined the congregation in the last year because of our Hebrew children’s ministry. . . .

Youval & Valerie Yanay lead Revive Israel in the Yad HaShmona
Messianic village. “Recently,
Youval taught at the Yad HaShmona congregational service, and it was a powerful
time of encouragement and spiritual renewal. His teaching brought blessing
to the community, reminding us of the light and life found in God’s Word.” They
ask prayers for “Raphael, Liel, and their children while they are in Brazil.
We ask for God's divine protection and wisdom as they serve Him and the
believers there.”
Ashort word was shared on “The
Three Tables: A Call to True Fellowship | The Apostle Paul’s words in 1
Corinthians 10:14-22 challenge us with a fundamental question: Where do we
truly belong? He presents a stark
contrast between two forms of fellowship—one with the Lord and one with
the world. At the heart of this passage is the Greek word koinonia, meaning
deep, binding partnership. It is more than just association; it is a covenantal
connection that shapes our identity, our priorities, and our spiritual life. He begins with a clear and urgent command:
“Flee from idolatry” …. What gives us security in life? If the answer is
anything other than the Lord, we must ask ourselves: Am I truly sitting at His
table, or have I given part of my heart to another?”
From Sally Shiff of the HaMaayan congregation - Sally is actually in the US at a very timely moment with the doings in Washington, DC of President Trump and PM Benjamin Netanyahu. She is doing speaking and I’m sure getting some very interesting questions. This time around I did not share excerpts from several of her daily posts during the Hamas war, but the whole Feb 4th email that covered a lot of ground, from the Hostages coming home (Yarden Bibas being one), and the ones Israel is still so anxious to learn the fate of (Yarden Bibas’ wife and two babies).
