Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

The First Rains in Israel Dear friends and ministry partners, I hope this update meets you with hope and expectation in Messiah Yeshua.  It has been a while since we wrote a more personalized update. I hope to explain why briefly.  But first, let's talk about rain. Sukkot in Israel We are currently celebrating the Biblical Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles), one of my favorite holidays because the Bible explains that one day all the nations of the world will come to Israel and celebrate this weeklong feast together.  Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem kshall go up year after year to worship lthe King, the LORD of hosts, and mto keep nthe Feast of Booths. 17 And if oany of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship lthe King, the LORD of hosts, pthere will be no rain on them. (Zech. 14:16-17). It is normal to eat and sleep in these booths. For the first in many years, we were able to set up a booth outside, on our rooftop (r

Today, April 14th, Israel is celebrating memorial day. There are a few things that make this day very special and unique and we thought it might be encouraging and edifying to share them with you. In this strange season that we have been in, in which so many have lost so much, the Israeli way of celebrating memorial day has a calming and soothing effect. When the war of independence ended in 1949, over 28,000 Israelis lost their lives. The fighting actually started before the war with what Israelis call the "War of the Roads." On November 29th, 1947, the UN announced its partition plan. Beginning just a few days later, in December, the local Arab leaders decided to block the roads and starve out the isolated Jewish settlements. In Jerusalem, for example, they cut of the water pumps and blocked the roads so that the population there had no access to water or food. Convoys from Tel Aviv tried to break through the road blocks to bring flour and water. Some were successful an

Our Profile Page Donate Online Dear Friends, It has been quite a while since we gave you a proper update. Due to the pandemic, the world has slowed down some and many of us are being asked to stay at home. It seems like now is a good time to let you all know how we are doing, personally, in our ministry and in our country. We have a really big announcement that we will save for the end. (Photo to the left: Janice's parents with our five sons.) The main reason we have been a little out of touch is that we were really busy; not with normal life activities but with the kind of catastrophe that makes you drop everything. Janice's dear sweet mother passed away on February 1st. She was an important part of our lives and her departure was unexpected and unprepared for, except that we are sure that she is with her Lord and Savior. We found out in the evening and immediately started searching for airline tickets for the whole family. By February 3rd, we were in Alabam

Dear Prayer Partners, As you know, we hold many different activities at the Greater Tel Aviv Messianic Center and these enable us to meet real needs, lower the barriers to the Gospel and help us connect with our local community. During the events, we always have the opportunity to meet new people, encourage believers and even share the Gospel, as the Lord leads.  We find that music brings people together! Along with our free English classes, Bible Studies, prayer meetings and other ongoing activities, these larger events widen our reach out into the community of believers and non-believers. We have found these events to be easy to develop and very worthwhile for building solid Messiah-Centered relationships. We appreciate your prayerful support for this ministry and for our ability to share the Gospel in Tel Aviv. Worship Night .  In December we had a lot of events that met various needs. Our worship night event was intended for believers and we had a great turn out.  The Mu

Last week, we had an amazing event! Korean Cultural Night The story started this summer in New York City, when a Korean pastor in Brooklyn spoke to our Shalom New York ministry team. One of our Israeli staff was there and after the meeting he spoke to the Pastor about his upcoming trip to Israel. During the conversation and afterwards they plans to hold a Korean Cultural event at the Greater Tel Aviv Messianic Center. The event had authentic Korean food, singing and dancing in traditional Korean attire and even some history of Korea!  We were not sure how well attended this event would be. It turns out that there is a huge interest in Asian cultures! We had around 90 people come, including the ministry team of Korean Americans. We also had some amazing help from Koreans living in Israel! Together these team effort led to an amazing impact on those who came. We were surprised to see so many non-believers come to this event. Many were especially touched by the testimony that

Dear Ministry Partners, Since our last eNewsletter we have had some amazing adventures.  In August we went on a long journey to the United States. We drove thousands of miles over the course of seven weeks. We spoke at least a dozen times in various churches. We had the priviledge to reconnect with many of the people who pray for us and support us. Some of the highlights we will put in pictures below.  It was a very blessed time for us. The kids travelled so well and were such a blessing for us!  We were so encouraged by the warm welcomes and meaningful quality time we got to spend with our friends, family and ministry partners.  Of course the time our boys got to spend with their cousins was extremely precious. Cousins at the Zoo Within 24 hours of returning to Israel we were already busy with the first major Fall Ministry event. It was a large banquet to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This event was a huge success as many non-believers came and had the chance to hear
