Here in Israel, we are rapidly approaching the Feast of Passover. This is always a time of joy and anticipation. The kids are out of school for two weeks and many families travel throughout the country as well as abroad. It is a holiday with family and friends spending time together in remembrance of how God led His people by His mighty power out of slavery in Egypt, passing through the Red Sea on dry ground as the Egyptian army was destroyed. 
     Families will gather together on Saturday evening, April 12 for a Passover Seder. This is a special meal which consists of prayers and songs and symbolic acts reminding us of the mercy and love of God in His deliverance of His people from bondage to freedom. This year Passover will be more somber in the shadow of the ongoing war in Israel. We will, as always, remember the miracle of God but we will also remember all the Israelis that were mercilessly slaughtered by Hamas as well as the hostages and soldiers whose lives are still in danger every day. Israel is a small country and everybody knows somebody that was directly impacted by the war.
    This year Passover will be a time to thank God for His Salvation but also to cry out and ask Him to heal this Land and once again to have mercy and eradicate the terrorist evil that surrounds us.
     As believers in Jesus, Passover is not just a holiday for Jews but also has great significance for the Body of Messiah all around the world. Just as the sacrificed lamb was to be without blemish and was slaughtered and its blood placed on the door frames so that the death Angel would pass over, Yeshua is the Lamb that was slain to free us from sin and bondage and death.
     In fact, the night that Jesus was betrayed, He was partaking of the Passover meal. “The life of the flesh is in the blood… for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.” (Leviticus 17:11) This is a clear type and picture of how the blood of the Passover lamb is a foreshadowing of the blood that Yeshua would shed on the cross for our eternal salvation.
     This is the message that we are broadcasting at Shelanu. We want Israelis to understand the connection between Passover and Yeshua, the true Lamb of God. Throughout the Passover Seder, there is much symbolism that portrays the life and death of Yeshua.
     Our heart is that the people of this nation will finally understand that they no longer need to wait for their Messiah because He has come. He died for their sins, defeating death so that once and for all they could be in a personal and intimate relationship with Him with the hope of eternal life burning brightly in each heart
     May we be reminded on this Passover holiday of God’s passionate desire that none would perish but that all would have everlasting life! Please pray that the hearts of the people of Israel would be softened and that the seeds that are planted daily thru Shelanu TV would grow and bear much fruit and so “All Israel shall be saved!”
     Here are testimonies from the month of March:
    A guy names S contacted us on our social media platforms, asking to receive the New Testament in Hebrew. We asked him for his address to send him the Book, but he asked to receive it ASAP, so he asked if he could come pick it up instead. It was a very rainy and cold day and to our surprise, he came to our coffee house in center Tel Aviv to pick up the Book that same day! Upon hearing that he was at the coffee house, one of our staff members ran out in the pouring rain to meet with him and talk to him about Yeshua. The Lord touched his heart, and he received Yeshua into his life that day! Praise God! We are so thankful to see how the Lord is working and manifesting His prophecies that ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED! We are thankful for each person who comes to the Lord! Pray for S, to build a strong foundation of faith and bless his walk with the Lord! Amen.
    A young man of Arab background living near Haifa has been deeply touched by the content on Shelanu TV. While he hasn’t shared whether he comes from a Christian or Muslim background, he expressed a strong desire to learn more about Yeshua after watching. We connected him with a local pastor affiliated with Shelanu TV, and they are now in contact. Our hope is that this relationship will lead him to grow in faith and connect with a local community. We thank God that our content is reaching hearts from all backgrounds in Israel—even in times of war and tension between Jews and Arabs.
    M, a young Arab man from near Tiberias, asked to discreetly meet with Hebrew speakers after being moved by our videos. Though from a Christian background, he had drifted from faith and now feels a renewed desire to grow spiritually. It's a miracle to see how Shelanu's content bridges divides that politics cannot. Both Jews and Arabs are being drawn together through teachings about Yeshua. Let’s pray for M and for the continued power of the Gospel to unite.
    We've been offering free New Testaments through our social media, challenging the widespread stigma surrounding this sacred book. Many in Israel have been taught misconceptions—stories and warnings that aren't true. But through our outreach, people are responding and becoming curious.
     One of our presenters,
Reu’ven Doron, recently released a video connecting New Testament promises to Hebrew Scriptures—particularly Jeremiah 31. This is helping Israelis see that the New Testament is not a foreign book, but a Jewish one—written by Jews, for Jews. We're seeing hearts open and minds change. Praise God!

Plant Hope Israel, Jennifer and Eliahu Guetta will be celebrating 2 Passovers this year (1 in Poriya Ilit & 1 in the City of David in Jerusalem, “It will be on Friday night, the 14th of Nisan, the night of the Last Supper, together with 12 disciples above the Melchizedek sacred place.” Jennifer writes of being saved and delivered from the “darkness of Kabbalah” 12 years ago, then “In 2015 we had a prophetic Passover with 400 Israelis, Iranians, and Christians from all kinds of backgrounds in the Netherlands (see video). Together we celebrated our freedom under a blood-red moon. But it was also the same night that Obama signed the terrible peace deal with Iran, which has now led to Iran’s building up of its nuclear arsenal. That night, 3 April 2015, the Lord brought Israelis and Iranians together to bless one another and to prophesy true peace that one day would come through Yeshua. It was God's prophetic act for such a time as this.”  On the Israel-Iran escalation Jennifer writes, “But whatever happens in the coming months God has a plan and He already secured the peace that will come afterwards. We are not afraid of Goliath. We put our trust in the Lord God of Israel. He saved us out of Egypt! He saved us from Iran 2 x already last year... and He will save us again. But He does ask us to pray, so please also pray for the situation here between Israel and Iran.”

Sally Shiff of the Kfar Saba congregation HaMaayan, the Wellspring, writes about Netanyahu’s speech before his flight back to Israel which he described as very warm and the 2nd visit “my friend” President Trump had extended to him in 2 months. The Israeli PM went on to address the big issue: “First of all - Iran. We agree that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. This can be done in an agreement, but only if this agreement is a Libya-style agreement; that we go in, blow up the facilities, dismantle all the equipment, under American supervision and American execution - that is good. A second option, that it will not happen. They will simply drag out the talks, and then the option is military. Everyone understands that. We discussed that at length.” [President Trump has since said if Iran is attacked, Israel will lead.] The two leaders also talked about eliminating Hamas, rescuing all hostages, potential to relocate Gazans to another country, stopping Turkey from establishing military bases in Syria, and Israel’s willingness to reduce their trade deficit with the USA to zero.  This was quite an informative update on the current US-Israel relations and beyond, as Sally continues to send out daily updates since the Gaza war started in Oct 2023.

Israel Pochtar, leading Beit Hallel congregation and Voice of Judah ministries writes of “Passover, Purpose, and the Promise Unfolding! | We are living in a season of movement and momentum — in the Spirit, in our hearts, and in the land of Israel. From construction dust to desert skies, from joyful gatherings to deep outreach, God is working powerfully through our community.” They are now within 12% of funding their new ministry center. Watch this VIDEO. Also “Passover is approaching — a time of remembrance, redemption, and renewal. Our hearts are full as we prepare for desert outreaches, youth camps under open skies, and gatherings that stir up faith and joy even in the hardest of times. In Jerusalem and beyond, we are watching lives be touched by the love of Yeshua week after week.

Stefan Silver writing for his parents David & Josie’s Out of Zion Ministries wrote about how significant the difference in the Gregorian solar-based calendar which most of the modern world operates on and the Biblical lunar-based calendar system is. The biblical new year is also significant in difference from the new year that most Jews observe in the 7th month of Tishrei, a tradition most likely that formed during the Babylonian exile. Why is this important?  #1 the lunar system calendar keeps the appointed Feasts in synchronization with the prophetic seasons of God: “Passover (Pesach), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles), remain in their proper seasons. This distinction is not trivial.” The new year as God set is “starts in the spring, two weeks before Passover. Understanding this change in season is important for believers who seek to know God’s appointed times and how they align with current and future global events. "Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.." (1 Chronicles 12:32)
     When Stefan wrote that "Jesus (Yeshua) rebuked the religious leaders of His day for not discerning the signs of the times:" (MT 16:13) IT JUMPED OUT AT ME: HOW MUCH MORE would He now rebuke Christians who have no inkling of the importance or significance of the biblical feasts that are for signs and seasons to us!!  I have known for a long time that the biblical feasts are a prophetic picture of God's plan of redemption of Israel - ultimately their salvation is coming. It is not just a nice thing for a Christian to know, it is an IMPERATIVE for a Christian to know. As Yeshua rebuked the Jewish people "You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." To us He would say, You know how to interpret the signs of spiritual warfare in heavens all the around the world, but you can't interpret the signs of what God is doing in His chosen season! The biblical new year has just marked a new season in the plans of God and Passover draws near for the Jews, it is something we want to understand and cooperate with God for the fulness of all.

From Arni & Yonit Klein of Emmaus Way writes that regarding Passover “we’d do well to view it in the context of Israel’s greater journey and consider what God might be speaking to us today…. From the beginning God has sought a dwelling place in and among men…. For the sake of the bigger picture, and as a prophetic foreshadowing for us today, it is important to consider what determined the timing of the Exodus. We read in Exodus 2:24, “So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and with Jacob.”  …. Not only were the Israelites to be His dwelling place individually and corporately, but they were also called to prepare a place for Him on the earth in the midst of the nations.
     Israel is a prophetic nation. What they experienced in the natural realm, the One-New-Man Israel of God will experience in the spiritual realm…even as there is an earthly Jerusalem and a heavenly one. Today, surely no less than in former days, though Israel has possessed the Land, it has not become, nor is it prepared it to be, a dwelling place for the Lord. It could be said that the ways of Egypt -- ie. the world -- remain entrenched in the heart. How much is this a prophetic picture for the Body of Messiah today? If so, we suggest that beyond remembering Israel’s coming out of bondage, we are in yet awaiting the full manifestation of what Yeshua did for us on the Cross. Though His sacrifice opened the prison door, it remains for us to leave the old ways behind and enter into the calling for which Israel and all of mankind were created -- to be a dwelling place for God…. More than ever, we are impressed with the need to come out from our old ways and prepare a new wineskin, that the Lord may truly dwell and release His Spirit in our midst.    

Aleksey Raikhstadt of Beit Immanuel in old Jaffa, As we step into this new year, we at Beit Immanuel give thanks for God’s faithfulness and the blessings He continues to pour out. …We are overjoyed and deeply grateful to now have a congregational van—a long-awaited answer to prayer!

A catch up email from Evan Thomas of the Beit Asaph congregation in Netanya who says by the end of May they will be able to hold services in their downtown Netanya building. Meanwhile, Evan is focusing on the third and final phase of the project: raising the finances to complete our obligations by the end of January next year, 2026. They have some great ideas for how churches can hold fun events to help them raise funds and To receive the Funding Goal & Timeline attachment please email. The write, “In our message to the churches in NZ, Evan has referred to a wonderful image of spiritual partnership from the text in Exodus 17:12-14. While Israel is locked in battle with its enemies in the valley below, Moses stands on the mountainside above, with his arms raised in intercession before God. As he tires and his arms begin to droop, Aaron and Hur place a rock for Moses to rest upon while supporting his upraised arms as he prays. As those arms remain raised, Joshua and his forces prevail against Israel's enemies. We invite you to be up there on the mountainside interceding on our behalf, as we 'fight the good fight' on the front lines below! – Evan Thomas & Lev Guler | For donations towards the project, simply click on the FIRM LINK to the website of FIRM (Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries) | Or email Evan for  options

Reuven Doron writes on 4/6 “This is our one and only PRAYER REQUEST this week. We see and experience rising indications of exhaustion and deep fatigue showing up all around us, and we ask the intercessors who carry Israel in their hearts to pray for grace for the journey and strength to endure. The non-stop stress of war, imminent danger, grief, and sorrow is lowering the people’s immune systems. We see more sickness, struggling marriages, and financial troubles around us than ever before.”
     In this same writing shares “Hebrew Gems | The Simplest Truth VIDEO with Reuven Doron | The Wearing Out of the Saints | Daniel’s dramatic visions address global events that will culminate this age and bring humanity to the very end of days. The scriptures quoted above point to the final conflict before God’s Kingdom presents itself as the only, everlasting, and all consuming dominion…. The word in chapter 7:25 which is translated “wear out” is - יְבַלֵּא (YE’VA’LEH) in the original text. It means to afflict, to wear out, to continuously harass and accuse until you give in and give up. Some of you know this enemy personally; others know him corporately. According to Daniel’s visions, the debilitating and exhausting impact of this psychological battle will typify the last days. The prediction is written for our sakes so that we would take note of it when the battle rises, and could brace our hearts with fresh grace from the Lord when we enter into these temptations. || Also read his article out 4/11 Passover Shock | “We are grateful for those who are able to financially share in our labors during this season of war and of harvest.

Carolyn & Richard Hyde of Heart of G-d Ministries shares VIDEO with Carolyn: Who is the Messiah? ALSO about their trip to Gemany & Austria where in the German Public Schools where they are allowed “We ministered in 15 classes to about 250 youth and over 170 repented of their sin and asked Yeshua to live in their hearts.” In Ireland they had a close call with horse that bolted toward the car they were being driven in – but God had give Carolyn a dream instructing her to turn her ring upside down from a teardrop to a shield…which she did and the horse did not come through the windshield as it appeared it would! They had a Divine appoint in Ireland where a woman was healed of a tragic personal story of losing her baby and herself becoming enslaved in a place that was supposed to take care of ‘Mom & Baby’. Carolyn writes, “A broken soul, she gratefully invited Yeshua into her heart! Afterwards we conducted an Operation Millstone and another the following day as we heard a similar story. Upon making a "wrong" turn after our second assignment, we found these millstones! In “England - Deeper relationships were forged with many wonderful friends.” || Back in Israel “Redeem The Dance A Prophetic Artists Journey At Re'im and Be'eri near Gaza On October 13 and 14, 2025 Simchat Torah / Shemini Atzeret Contact me for details. 

Youval & Valerie Yanay lead the Revive Israel community at Yad Hasmonah. They write about our assignment from God to be “ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” This is what their community is set to do as they farm their land and sell their produce to the local community. People come to buy, hear about how they live and work, and minister in the name of Yeshua to the body in Israel discipling, and to the local community God draws to them. They write that a local council held a food festival and one of the newspapers featured a story about they, drawing many to their farm & market. “Next week, a group of about 30 young Israeli adults will be joining us to volunteer. They come from all walks of life, and we’ll have the chance to share with them about the Creator, the Messiah, and His grace. Please pray with us for this special opportunity—that God will guide us in both the logistics and the conversations we have with them. We pray that their time on the farm will be meaningful and that it will bear lasting fruit for the Kingdom!  Meanwhile, in our community gatherings, we’re continuing to refine our vision, and we truly feel covered in your prayers.”

Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher congregation talks about Faith and facing the “many Goliaths that try to intimidate us and cause us to be fearful.” As children of God, we are “the one who is the least facing the one who is powerful.” Also Guy reminds us that “God chooses the least to confound the wise of this world” so that “when we have an encounter with God and He lives in us, there is no authority on this earth that can overcome the calling on your life. . . .As we approach the Feast of Passover, at the beginning of Spring, there is a verse that I feel to share from Song of Solomon (Songs) 2:12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. In Hebrew the translation is , “the buds are seen on the earth”. Here we understand it is the beginning of Spring. I feel to share this with you especially after the dark season the world is passing through. We remember that the Spring is within us and Yeshua is the one that blossoms in our heart. Whatever darkness or giants we are facing, the one who dwells in us is stronger than the one in the world. In Him all things are possible. As is written in Hebrews 11:1-3, We are called to walk in complete faith and trust in Him no matter what.


Michael and Dina Beener of Sderot’s City of Life are putting food on the Passover tables of those poor families in Sderot so they can “celebrate Passover with dignity….Passover is more than just a holiday, it is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, deliverance, and the hope of freedom. It teaches us that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be, there is always a path forward, guided by His love and promises. As we retell the story of the Exodus, we reaffirm our faith in His provision and in the responsibility we have to care for one another, ensuring that no one is left behind.” Read more here and it is not too late to help with a donation
