Israeli Jewish Woman Turns to Her King on the Feast of Trumpets |
Several months ago a woman named Liora from northern Israel saw our evangelistic videos and ordered some evangelistic materials from us.
We called her afterwards, and she shared her unique story. She had been involved in the New Age for quite some time, and then heard some about Jesus, Yeshua. She looked into it a bit, but then dropped the topic for several years.
But one day when she was at a Bat Mitzvah, someone mentioned Yeshua. This reminded her of her search that had stopped, and she said to herself, “I need to find out if this is true or not - this time I want to search until I find.” So she began searching online and came across our videos.
Liora received the books we sent and started reading the New Testament and other books. She read Matthew and John in a short time, and then had lots of deep theological questions. I really had to pray before and during each phone call because they weren’t easy to answer!
But at the end of one of our conversations, she said, “OK, I think that’s all my questions. Everything seems much more clear to me now.” She didn’t have any more intellectual hindrances from believing. But she wanted to connect with a local congregation and see more of what life is like as a follower of Yeshua before making her final decision.
So we connected her with a congregation in her area, and even though there were many restrictions due to Corona, she was able to meet with them a number of times.
Then she called again this week and was very excited to share some news. She met with believers in her area on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets, in Jewish tradition referred to as the New Year, but biblically considered a time of preparation for the coming of the King. On that very evening, she decided to give her life to the King of Kings, Jesus, Yeshua! Hallelujah!
She said, “I received Yeshua into my life - the most important thing there is!” Then she added, “So now every lesson, every meeting, every message - I’m there and I’m growing stronger in faith!”

Muslim Egyptian Lady Receives Yeshua at Heavy Cost |
A young woman from a religious Muslim family in Egypt, whom we’ll call Varisha, contacted us through our English evangelistic page ThinkAgain.Life. She said that she wants to leave Islam, but she understands the heavy cost: “if my family knows that I want to leave my religion, they will kill me.”
We spoke with her about Yeshua and she prayed to receive Him and repent of her sins!
We also sent her a link to the New Testament in Arabic, and after the first day she already read 6 chapters.
She’s very nervous that her family will discover her change of faith and actually wants to flee to Israel! For now, we've connected her with an Arabic speaking believing woman from Egypt who will share in more depth with her. She’s “by chance” going to be in Varisha’s area very soon, so she’ll be able to meet with her and connect her with local believers in her area, Lord-willing!
What a beautiful thing that God is doing! The word of the LORD is going forth from Zion and even reaching our neighbors in Egypt and in other nations! Praise God!
Please pray that God would anoint our friend with wisdom, compassion, and grace to connect with her in a deep way, to more fully explain the Good News, and to know how to help her. Let’s pray for Varisha, that she would truly know and follow Yeshua with all her heart, that she would hear God’s voice about what to do in her dangerous situation, and would have the courage to obey!

Social Media Giants Trying to Block Pro-Life and Gospel Campaign |
We’re in a battle for truth and need your prayers for God to intervene!
Facebook has accused us of advertising about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (this is an outright lie, of course!), and therefore they’re blocking us from sharing the Pro-Life and Gospel videos in almost 200 countries - we’re only able to advertise in 5 countries. We’ve appealed 3 times already, but to no avail so far.
YouTube has also made bogus claims against us as reasons for taking our ads down. We’ve had to appeal over and over again, and by God’s grace and your prayers, we’ve gotten our ads back up. But it’s an ongoing battle!
Twitter halted our ad, providing no reason and no way to appeal the decision. And now the battle is just beginning with Google and Instagram….
Yeshua encouraged and challenged us: “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:7-8)
Let us be ones who cry out in faith for God’s justice so that His Gospel and the message of life will spread and make an impact!
And please help us save lives by sharing this video from our Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, and on all social media! |

For Grant, an Israeli-South African Jew that we’ve been ministering to for some time. He has fallen into alcohol again and is tormented in a self-destructive lifestyle. But he’s reached out to us again recently and would like for us to come talk and pray with him. Please pray that he will be delivered, fully set free from all evil, and fully repent and give his life to Yeshua! Follow-up with many others - there are so many stories of people from Israel and around the world who have been interested in Yeshua recently that we don’t have time to write about all of them! We’ve connected several with local congregations, but please pray with us fervently for their salvation! Lord-willing we’ll share more next time! For our outreaches to the poor - we’ve been continuing to reach out and have seen God open up beautiful doors to share the Gospel and show His love to people. Several of them were more timid at first, but as they’ve seen that we genuinely care about them and are committed to helping them, they’ve opened up more and wanted to hear about our faith. Praise God! Please pray especially for wisdom in how to continue even as the restrictions in Israel apparently will be stronger than ever before in the next few weeks, for more laborers and for much fruit for the glory of God! - For the Pro-Life and Gospel Campaign - as soon as we launched this campaign, we saw intense opposition and attacks from the enemy. That same week, Avi was in the hospital with a back injury, our Mom was in three car wrecks and had a stroke and was in the hospital, and we had other major difficulties. God graciously has been healing them both amazingly quickly, but we’d appreciate your prayers for breakthrough, wisdom, protection, unity, and power to overcome the enemy and build God’s Kingdom!
