Whatever Your Hand Finds To Do?
Your People
My People is passionate about supporting Israelis who want to see their nation
won to Jesus. So we were excited when we
read an update from Dugit, sharing about some of the creative ways this
Outreach Centre is reaching out to the people of Tel Aviv with the gospel.
Upon being
hired, Dugit’s Outreach Director said that he desired to integrate the arts and
music even more into their outreach ministry, showcasing the creative gifts
that God has given individuals and using them as tools for evangelism. So in recent months, Dugit has held more ‘Dugit
Live’ events, featuring these artists up close and personal. Those who have performed include Israeli and
foreign musicians, a professionally trained opera singer, duelling violinists,
artistic mission teams from Hawaii and California, and a famous ex-guru, Rabindranath Maharaj, who
came to faith by calling on the name of Jesus in two life threatening
situations.
Dugit also
held an Art Exhibition, featuring the work of Na’amah, a local Israeli
believer. While keeping the artwork on
display for a month, the opening gala provided an opportunity to come and meet the artist, to
speak with her about her faith and the story behind her paintings. From 8pm to 1am, over 100 people came and
were amazed to see her inspired work. Na’amah
hopes that her ‘art will grab people on both an emotional and intellectual
level, planting a seed in them about the love and grace of God.’
During these
events, Dugit staff are always on hand, serving free cappuccinos and giving out
Bibles in Hebrew, Russian and other languages, ready to be used by the Lord to
share the love of Jesus with those who come through the door. Please continue to pray for the staff in
Dugit Outreach Centre, who are on the front line in a very secular
metropolis. Their heart is to see the
Lord bring the labourers, worshipers, and artists, so they can present their
God given abilities in a way that makes His name known to all of Israel!
“And
whatever you do, do it with all your might, as to the Lord and not to men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance, for it is Him you
are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24
