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

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?

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

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! Make donations through Tikkun.

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,

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

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? |

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

Roar of the Lion & the Spirit of Prophecy (prophetic word) | Vision
of the River in the Midst of Iran | Christian Arab prophetic intercessor in

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.

| "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

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

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.
