A busy week, full and fulfilling!

We just want to let you know about a few great activities this week.  By God's grace on Monday, we had a special banquet with music for Holocaust Survivors. It was sponsored by a ministry team from the USA who came to minister along side us. We wrote about this event already, so we won't go into more detail, we just want to point out how phenomenal it is to have a ministry team for a week!

Following that event one of our ministry partners hosted a discipleship training event. This was developed to help believers learn how to encourage and minister to others. It is a leadership building series with a strong emphasis on teaching people how to share the Gospel in their workplace.

On Wednesday, we held a special English Story Hour for Kids. A guest from overseas came and led the one hour program with a Bible Story and a really fun block painting craft. We also held our Bi-weekly Bible Study that evening. Most of the people who came are first generation believers, some new and some more mature in their faith. This was the fourth Bible Study that we have held and although it is still small, it has been consistent and seems to be developing a growing interest. In keeping with our ministry identity, we also focus on getting to know each other and praying for each other, as we study the Bible.

On Thursday, we had this amazing ministry team join us again. They helped us prepare our Isaiah 53 Explained books for distribution to people who ordered them online. They helped us organize our children's room materials (Arts and crafts supplies). Since it is really only Jason and our new Staff member David who work daily in our Ministry Center, it's great to have groups come along side us and help us with manpower projects like these.

This same group stayed Thursday evening to help us with our outreach concert. Jason taught them all how to use our espresso machine and they served coffee during the event, freeing up David and Jason to talk with the 70 or 80 people who came!  It was a full house by God's grace and many non-believers came.  The anti-missionaries were out in force. Six of them stood outside and tried to intimidate the believers and at the same time they tried to convince non-believers not to enter. Obviously, their attempts failed.  Their leader started calling Jason names that we won't repeat. So please pray for these anti-missionaries, that they would no longer have this hatred of Yeshua (Jesus) and that God would soften their hearts to the Messiahship of Yeshua.  Here's a link to part of the concert (with the band that sang in English) ~start at 7 minutes. They are believers and the band is called Atlas Roads. Here are some more clips: LINK2 LINK3 LINK4

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

Image
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
