Israel 2013!
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news...
One of the things Your People My People loves to do, is to
share the good news of what God is doing in Israel! We know the international media is very good
at painting a picture on our screens and in our newspapers that do little to
encourage us, and at times, a lot to mislead us about world events, including
those in the Middle East. But there is
much to rejoice about when we begin to hear the good reports, the stories of
the believers in the Land that reach out to their communities with the gospel
of Yeshua the Messiah!
Even though the Jewish and Arab believers in Israel make up
less than 1% of the total population, there has been exponential growth in the
Body of Messiah over the last 30 years.
Where there were only a few indigenous fellowships before, today there
are over 150 local congregations and groups that meet regularly to worship and
pray together. Where previously there
were only a handle of Israeli believers who followed Yeshua, now there are
estimated to be 15,000 Jewish and Arab Israeli believers spread throughout the entire
country.
Karen and Amanda, YPMP Directors, will be self funding a trip
over to Israel for 2 weeks at the end of August, to connect face to face with
the ministries we support and pray for regularly, taking the love and encouragement
of the believers here, to the believers there. Please pray for them as they prepare to
travel and for their time in the Land, that relationships will be deepened and new
opportunities will open to bless and serve.
