Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

For the First Time we were invited to celebrate Easter with friends in Jerusalem. They have a tradition of going to the Garden Tomb for the Easter Sunrise service. This was an experience we will never forget. The service started at 05:30 AM, which means that we had to wake up at 3:30am in order to get in line! Shockingly, a cold spell hit the country, which is hilarious because we had just packed up most of our winter clothes and the boys were expecting to wear shorts and t-shirts! And it rained, but we LOVED IT! It was a very meaningful experience for everyone. We found the service itself was so well done, we will probably try to go again next year.

Passover 2019 at the Mercaz We had a slew of events since our last update. The most recent event was a Passover Seder that we led for the community. We used an online registration system, which worked beautifully. Most of the people registered within a few hours of publishing the event. We had a packed house! Sadly, we had to turn people away because we had not more seats available. The kids had a lot of fun singing the songs and playing with friends. My eldest, Yonatan found the Afikomen! He was thrilled because there was a lot of competition. What we found fascinating about this seder is that many of the people who came had celebrated Passover most of their lives and yet some had never experienced a Passover Seder that focused on Yeshua (Jesus) being the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb.  These are Jewish believers in Yeshua that are still learning about how Yeshua completes this holiday!  Non-believers came as well and heard the saving message too!
