Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

Praise God that there is a ceasefire! Dear friends and prayer partners,  Thank you for praying for our friends, family, loved ones and country over the last few days.  By God's grace and mercy, the conflict is over with minimal death and destruction. The ceasefire took effect last night and the rockets stopped just before midnight.   Most of those killed in the fighting were terrorists associated with the Islamic Jihad. Unfortunately, one of the terror group's missiles flamed out and dropped on a house in the Gaza Strip killing a family including several children. We grieve the loss of life of this family who were innocent bystanders - for all we know. Here is a link to the video released by the Israeli Defense forces about this errant missile. Around 1000 rockets were fired at Israel during three days of fighting. Half of the country's population kept close to safe rooms and bomb shelters during these three days.  Our family never had to run to our safe area because the a

  Continued Prayer Requests... Dear friends, when I sent out the prayer requests last night, the rockets attacks from Gaza had not yet started. But it was not surprising that they started launching rockets a minutes after my email was sent. I want to give a little background, but before I do, I think it is important to start with the most urgent prayer requests.  There are many believing soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces, both active and reservists.

Were Janice and I live with the boys in Petach Tikvah, we haven't heard any warnings to run to our safe room, but our friends closer to Tel Aviv have. Lastly, please pray for the millions of p

Prayer Requests Dear friends and prayer partners, we want to take a moment and update you with a few important prayer requests. For Safety A few hours ago, the IDF began a preemptive attack on the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad as they were preparing terror attacks against Israel.  We are currently getting emails and text messages from Israel's homefront command reminding us to be close to a safe room, in the event that the terrorists fire rockets at us. For Provision After our beloved Citroen Jumpy (22 years old) broken down twice on same day... we knew we were in trouble.  The third time it broken down, was the final straw and the vehicle had to be taken off the road permanently.  As a result, we are down to one vehicle, a seven seater.  We had enjoyed have a 9 seat vehicle, so that we could take people with us and our entire family on road trips.  Please pray for God's provision to find a and pay for a replacement vehicle.
