We have many events in which our goal is to bring people together, believer and non-believers. Here are some photos from these events.

Praise and Worship Nights

Praise and Worship Nights are something that we started hosting once a month in the Fall.  So far we have had about a half a dozen of these events and they have drawn believers from all over our small country. Some came from as far south as the Negev and  other came from the Northern Galilee.  By God's grace these worship nights enable believers from various worship styles, congregation types and theological backgrounds to worship God together in unity.  There is no preaching, just scripture reading and a lot worship music. We felt there was a need for this, because most of the congregations in Israel are very small and very few have professional musicians on their worship teams. By combining the talent from several congregations, and there is a lot of talented musicians in Israel, we are able to provide a venue for worshipping the Lord that is relatively unique.  Also, many of the millennials in the Tel Aviv area, specifically, don't attend any congregation, so they have ver

We have always had Cafe Night events. Starting last Fall we decided to change the way we do these and pour a lot of resources into one large event a month. These have been quite successful in drawing large crowds.  Attendance by believers and non-believers has been great with a great mix of people. At these events we make a concerted effort to get to know the people coming and striking up conversations with them. These events are part of our strategy of overcoming the barriers to the Gospel and for the Israeli public they really succeed in removing many of the cultural barriers.  Wonderful conversations happen during and especially after these events.  We wanted to share some of the photos with you, so that you can get a feel for the ministry we are doing.

Prayer Request: Meet the Author event

Meet the Author We have been planning an event called, Meet the Author - of the Isaiah 53 Explained book.  In the last nine months over 3000 people ordered the book in Israel. So we decided to invite them all via email to attend a free "MEET THE AUTHOR" event at our Greater Tel Aviv Messianic Center. That event is THIS WEEK.  So we would love your prayers for this one and a half hour event.  First and foremost, we are praying for people to come, especially those who actually registered! We sent invitations to almost 6000 people, who live all over the country and all ordered the book.  So far about 15 people have registered for the event. About 600 people (10%) live fairly close to our center, so statistically, it's reasonable to expect between 6 - 12 people to come from that list.  Our prayer is that those who registered would actually come. It's common here to register for something and then not go. So please pray with us that they would come.  If even o

Prayer Request: Thursday Cafe Night

Dear friends, As you probably know, every Thursday Night we have a Cafe Night with free lattes and live music. This week our musician Jacqueline Weiner will be coming again. She has an amazing ability to draw a few non-believers every time. Sometimes they are very interested in hearing about our faith. Please pray for the people that come this week. We are trusting in the Lord to plant some good seed! ~ Jason Rose

Prayer Request - Housing

Our current apartment building PREVIEW:  We are debating whether to move or not but hoping that the owners of this rental apartment will commit to fixing the mold issue. Background In 2015, when we moved to Ramat Gan, we were very certain that this apartment was the right one for us.  It was a large, three bedroom apartment with a pink bathroom. If you don't recall why the PINK BATHROOM is significant, you can read that post here.   After nearly three years, we have had a few bumps along the way, but the apartment actually became an amazing blessing. It is literally a three minute walk to work! This means that the entire family can participate in a lot of ministry activities, even some that go late. After three years, we are now debating whether or not we should move. There are two reasons why we are considering moving.  The FIRST reason we are praying about relocating is because this apartment does not have a parking spot. There is on street parking, but ther

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!
