Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

By God's grace, even during a pandemic with all of the restrictions and challenges, God has been providing opportunities to serve our community. We are certainly not on our normal activity schedule, but we have been able to hold limited events inside and a number of events outside. As we are writing this update now we are only a couple of hours away from an event for young adults. We are limited by the government to fifty people indoors and we reached that registration milestone after only a day or so of advertising it. We invited a local worship leader to bring his team and one of our staff will share his amazing testimony. We are excited to be able to hold, even this limited events and we expect a mix of believers with a few of their unsaved friends.   A couple of weeks ago, Jason was able to lead a tour of young adults to two ancient Biblical sites in the desert. The theme of the trip was Ancient Worship in the Judean kingdom. The trip was of course subsidized by our ministry an

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
