Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

Over the last couple of weeks, we had a few amazing events with lots of people coming. At one event, about 50 people came and among them were about 12 that don't yet know Messiah. The host of this event is a student that will be volunteering with us in the USA, while going to college. He organized a time of prayer, praise and worship. Everyone had a wonderful time and the Gospel was transmitted through love not, necessarily words. These kinds of events are really important for us right now, so that people, especially believers learn about our center and how they can minister with us.  At the events we held over the last two weeks, Jason had several conversations with believers about how they can be a part of what we are doing! This week we have a couple more exciting activities. We are organizing a meeting for volunteers and musicians who would like to perform at our "cafe night." And we also have our first parenting workshop, this Friday.  It was amazing fo

Almost two dozen "not-yet-believers" came to hang-out and catch up. There's more to the story... Our ministry, Chosen People Ministries, operates a Youth Hostel in New Zealand and as part of their outreach, they offer Israeli backpackers three free nights. Several of these backpackers were invited to "reunion" back in Israel at our Greater Tel Aviv Messianic Center. They had a great time and so did we!

Some people have asked if we have any needs at the Greater Tel Aviv Messianic Center. At the moment, there are needs and you can help if you would like. Here's a list of things that we would really love to have. But before you get too excited, please keep in mind that if you want to buy something and ship it to us (which would be awesome!) that Israeli customs does make some things a little more challenging. Any package that has a value of $75 is taxed 17% by the recipient. And that doesn't mean that they assume the sender valued it correctly, they have their own price lists.  In many cases, it's probably easiest to purchase things locally here in Israel, but certainly, you can send something in the mail if you want, as long as the package is valued less than $75. List of needs: 1. A simultaneous Translation system 2. COOL coffee mugs. We really need these! 3. Stage Lighting. We need a few of these.  or similar. 4.

This seminar will fill an important need by providing parents with significant parenting tools that are catered to and designed for parents with young kids. The course is specifically targeting the needs of parents in their preparation to cope with the Israeli public education system. There is a real need for this kind of workshop and we are excited that we are able to provide meaningful help. For most of the people coming, this will be their first time ever meeting a Jewish believer. It will likely be their first time that a professional uses the Jewish scriptures as relevant source material in a lecture and it will likely be the first time these Israelis will ever have the opportunity to ask a believer questions about our faith in Yeshua (Jesus). One of our goals is first and foremost to be faithful representatives for Messiah, by sharing HIS love. We also hope that this workshop series will help overcome many of the misconceptions that Israelis have about the Gospel and about Yeshua
