Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

 Dear Friends, A lot of ministry has been done by the team, more than I can possible write about again. This is because I have already written up several reports about what the team has been doing. Many of these reports have already been published on Chosen People Ministries website:  https://www.chosenpeople.com/ukraine-how-you-can-help/?utm_source=CPM&utm_medium=Module&utm_campaign=Ukraine&utm_content=Hero_CPM So please use the link about to get some of the more recent updates.  There is a video where Janice shares up on that website also, near the bottom of the page.  Please watch it!  Thanks! Thank you for your prayerful support! Oh, and I know you are wondering... Yes I'm managing just fine with my adorable and very helpful boys. They have been helping to cook, clean and help each other with homework.  AND  of course you all know that I love to cook! So something new every night... Blessings in Messiah, Jason Rose

 Dear All, I had just a few minutes to connect with Janice and couple of times yesterday, Saturday, March 19th.  This was their second day in Berlin. The first day was training and orientation.   Berlin Aid Team Yesterday was an incredibly busy day. Many refugees came to the Chosen People Ministries center (called Beit Sar Shalom Germany). They held two congregational services at the center and a special Purim Party (the holiday based upon the story/history from the book of Esther). The team danced and played games with kids. That evening, after dinner, the team then went to Berlin's Central Train station and began ministering until quite late.  I saw in their correspondence that some only returned to their accommodations at 3am.  Janice wrote about it, "We were all able to serve and the need is great. We served until after midnight. Met and helped many wonderful people."  She told me an amazing story about how she woke up early, to special requests. The team leader rushe

Dear Friends, As I write this email, JANICE is packed and ready to leave for Berlin.  We have received quite a few updates lately and we will update you as we are able once she and the team are in Berlin.  Please pray specifically for the team leader, Victoria, for Janice who is her assistant and for all 9 members of their team.   Some of you would like to know what they will be doing. I will write more later, but the simple answer is helping refugees find food, housing, and get to their next destination. The work will mainly be in the afternoons and evening at the Berlin Central Train Station. It is not a safe place. So pray for safety for everyone involved. The whole mission may change, as it is a dynamic situation.  She will need to be at the airport at 2:30 AM (Friday Morning), so pray that everyone of our team members gets to the airport on time.  She will return next Friday, March 25th in the afternoon. So please remember her in your regular prayers. Please also pray for all of o

Dear Friends, For some time, I have been thinking about and trying to put into words something meaningful that might help you, our prayerful ministry partners, connect with what we are feeling, seeing and hearing about the crisis in Ukraine. We tend to connect when things get personal. So that's where we're going to go and we will end with a really big prayer request. Israel is a lot closer to the country of Ukraine than you may realize both physically and relationally. I know what is like to watch and read about a war from a distance or see the updates on the news. I also know what it is like to read those same updates from a bomb shelter. I know how in each situation our desire to beseech the Lord for the safety of others is different. It is a different situation when these kinds of tragedies become close and personal.   I'll give you and example of what I mean about this being closer to home for most Israelis. At our last congregational meeting during the prayer time, we
