Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

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 competition!

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 our b

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

Russian-made anti-aircraft missile that fell in Israel after being fired from Syrian air defense batteries. Today, February 10th, 2018, was possibly a day worth noting. Then again it may be nothing at all. Only time will tell how the powers that are involved will respond. In the morning, an Iranian drone entered Israeli airspace. An apache helicopter was dispatched to destroy it. Israel retaliated by attacking the Iranian drone manufacturing plant in Syria as well as 12 air defense systems. In the process, the Syrian air defenses successfully shot down an Israeli F-16. These air defense systems are Russian made. The pilots did eject safely, though wounded. In there attempt to destroy the Israeli fighter jets, several of these anti-aircraft missiles fell in Israeli territory. Fortunately, no one was hurt possibly because Israeli air-raid sirens sent people to safety in time. The question remains, is this a one time event or a major escalation. It's hard to know what Syria an

As part of the course that Jason is taking, he is seeing lots of exciting and interesting sites all over the country.  Here's a few samples. Amin . An ancient synagogue. This town was mentioned in the bible as a border (Book of Joshua). The church historian Esubius mentioned that there was an upper Christian town and a lower Jewish town. This synagogue is in the lower town and in the upper town, they found a church. Later empires conquered the area and built on top of these ruins which were only uncovered a few decades ago. Tel Arad.  This ancient city has a short lifespan. This synagogue was found in a fortress at the site and what's unique about it is that it resembles the temple in every regard. It was also intentionally buried, probably when one of the Kings of Judah started cracking down on people worshipping God outside of the temple in Jerusalem. Tel Sheva .  This was more of a fortress than a city. It was planned from the beginning and has a casement wal

We have held a number of events to promote and gauge interest in the Messianic School project.  We invited people from the area that are interested in opening a Messianic / Christian elementary school. We plan to continue with one event like this a month.  There is a praise song lesson, arts and crafts and of course food!
