Elementary School Update

It has been on our hearts to open a Messianic/Christian elementary school in the Tel Aviv area for some time. To achieve this goal, Jason was able to open a non-profit and establish a working board of directors. All of the steps involved were complicated and it took a long time.  But everything is in place.

Recently, interest in the school has started to pick up among local Israelis. Of course dozens have asked us when we will open the school, but the level of interest now is much more than in the past. It seems like every time we run into someone with young kids, it's their first question. In the last week alone, Jason was probably asked this question a half a dozen times from parents in Tel Aviv alone.

We are in the process of creating a professional promotional video for the school.  Our school in Tel Aviv is being modeled after an existing school in Jerusalem. As part of this video production, Jason took the cameraman to the school in Jerusalem. The cameraman was so amazed by the Messianic School in Jerusalem that he actually said, "Jason, this school is a Garden of Eden for kids. You have got to open up a school like this in Tel Aviv for my younger children. SOON!"

What is also fascinating, is that the day we scheduled this filming, Jason received an email first thing in the morning from a church. The church notified us via email that they are donating a large gift in order to help us fundraise to open the school.  We see the Lord's hand starting to move on people's hearts.

The school would be open already if we had raised the $125,000 we need for the first year of operations. So we are praying that God begin to move on the hearts of believers around the world to help us provide this much needed service to the body of Messiah in Tel Aviv.

There is a huge need and the need is growing.  The school's website is www.hopeofISRAELschool.org

A Terrible Tragedy occurred last night.

  Here is the background A terrorist walked into a synagogue (a house of worship) and started shooting innocent civilians as they were getting up to leave the building at the end of the service. This incident falls on the heels of other terrorist attacks and a growing movement towards violence led by extremists.  Earlier in the day, Hamas (the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip and it's 2 million people) fired a rocket at civilian populations in Israel.  Over the past several months, they have restrained themselves and others, but the fact that they claimed responsibility for the terror and rocket attack seems to indicate that they are now looking for an escalation.   What are False Equivalencies. One of the common and false responses to such attacks is to make false equivalencies. It is often said in the global press, that "the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other for centuries," or "they Arabs are responding to Jewish aggression." These false equ

Prayer Requests regarding the recent uptick in Rocket fire, Riots and terror attacks

Dear friends and ministry partners, In recent days there have been several rocket attacks at Israel from the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and in Southern Lebanon. As of the writing of this prayer request about 80 rockets have been fired.  On the one hand, this is a major escalation, yet on the other hand, there is always some expected escalation around the Islamic holiday of Ramadan.  For the entire month, we normally experience riots and other violence with terror organizations often calling for terror attacks against civilians. This year we have already experienced a large increase in terror attacks and the Israeli security establishment has been working hard to thwart terror continuously.  They stated in the news recently that they have been able to thwart over 200 planned terror attacks since the beginning of the year.  The success of their efforts is apparent, but not as apparent as their failure to thwart terror attacks.  This morning two sisters in their 20's were

Important Update! Significant News to report!

Image
Dear Prayer Partners, Jason and Janice Rose We are really excited to share some incredibly amazing news! This update is a bit longer than usual, but our big news is here at the beginning!  We are incredibly blessed by your prayerful support of our ministry. God has truly expanded and stretched us, as we have grown into the ministers that we are today. Through that growth, the Lord also expanded the team of people that minister alongside us. When we relocated to Israel in 2015, Mitch Glaser (President of Chosen People Ministries) asked us to start a Messianic Center in Ramat Gan. We had previously started a Messianic Center in South Tel Aviv, but the area grew dangerous over time. Although we loved the facility, we were renting it and that provided a measure of instability. It was certainly what we needed at the time. We learned a lot. The center in Ramat Gan was the fruit of our education. We learned a lot about what worked and what didn't and that certain ministry programs should
