Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

Recently, we had a wonderful event with several not-yet-believers. This event was special because it was a "Sushi Night" and included a seminar on how to make sushi.  Our three oldest kids were so blessed to make their own Sushi Dinner!  We had lots of sushi rice... double what we expected and we used it ALL!  People really loved the event. There was a time of fellowship. Two testimonies were shared by our Japanese friends. It was a spectacular event!

Every year I travel to the USA to teach on a variety of subjects. This year, I was asked to speak mostly about the Passover, which I love to do!  It was difficult traveling alone and leaving Janice and the boys behind in Israel. By God's grace they managed well but were very glad to have me home after almost three weeks in the USA.  I'm grateful for the many amazing people who prayed for these events, gave financially and provide a place for me to lay my head!  We always hope that at these meetings people will want to dig deeper into God's word and grow.  Please pray that God will use these experiences to draw people closer to Him.

As I write this update, it is the Israeli version of Holocaust Memorial Day.  One of the things that I find fascinating and very moving is the tradition here of standing for a moment of silence.  Because the Holocaust was such a horrendous event in human history and due to the fact that nearly every Jewish family was affected by the heinous crimes committed during the Holocaust, Israelis honor their memory for two minutes every year. There is something unique and moving when an entire country stops to remember.  Below is a link to a news article which contains a few videos from today's moment of silence. http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/IN-MEDIA-Israel-stands-still-for-Holocaust-Remembrance-Day-549582 It's important for us to teach our children about the Holocaust, so I asked my wife and kids to join me out on the streets today. I wanted our children to see the solidarity that we have as a country. I'm not going to go into the family history except to say that our f...

By God's grace we had two wonderful events to celebrate that Biblical holiday of Purim (book of Esther). Everyone, including adults, dresses up, usually as heroes like Esther, Mordecai or Superman.  This holiday has become an important cultural holiday for children but for adults the Purim parties are less desirable for believers. We partnered with Yad Aman, a group of young adults that all come from a local area congregation and we put together a clean and safe alternative for young adults.  It was the only Purim Party in the entire area that was wholesome.  About 70 young adults came. By combining our resources with Yad Aman, we were able to put together a really beautiful and fun event. A couple of people even came off the streets to join us because we were having such a great time.  We were able to demonstrate how to have fun without dipping into worldly sins.  We had many activities, but Jason's favorite part was being the judge of the costume compet...

In 2007 , we moved into our first apartment as a married couple. We were dreaming about having one boy and one girl. We painted the apartment off-white upon moving in, but the one color we couldn't change were the slight pinkish bathroom tiles. Our eldest son, Yonatan, was born while we were in that apartment. 2010 In 2010 , we had to move farther from the center of the city, because the rent prices were climbing dramatically. So we rented an dusty apartment. The only problem with the decor was the bright pink bathtub. It was hilarious to us that two more sons were bathed in this pink tub!  We have a picture of three boys in a Pink Bathtub! 2013 In 2013 , we moved for two years to the USA in order to fund raise for our missionary support. Before moving there, our American family and friends began searching for a home for us. When they found a home that was perfect, except perhaps for the fact that the bathroom was pink... we knew it was from the LORD. All ...

PRAISE  the Lord for the provisions he has given us! We have an amazing facility that everyone loves. Recently, a group of five young adults spent about an hour in prayer at our facility rather than enjoying the Cafe Night, because they said, "the atmosphere is so peaceful." the many non-believers that come and continue to come to our activities the groups and volunteers that come serve alongside us the wonderful and gifts staff that we have in Tel Aviv and in Israel our mission, Chosen People Ministries, that does so much behind the scenes to support our work in Tel Aviv. the opposition, who create opportunities for us to share the Gospel with non-believers. A group of "anti-missionaries" come to our events on Friday nights and try to convince people not to enter. This creates amazing conversations with non-believers! Please pray for more staff to join our team in Tel Aviv!  We are specifically looking for a younger, native Israeli to help us ...
