Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners, You have probably been watching the news and wondering if your friends on the ground in Israel are safe and what is really going on.  I will explain but first let me say that our family is safe, our staff are all safe and we are doing what we can to continue to serve the Lord here even in this difficult time. What Happened and When did it start? On Friday, June 13th, at around 3am the Israeli Air Force attacked Iran's nuclear sites, military leaders and ballistic missile launchers across Iran.  The Israeli Intelligence discovered that Iran was within two or three days of enriching enough uranium to make a nuclear warhead. They felt there was no longer any time to waste.   More on this in the video below. Below are some photos of the time with the Dedication Tour, which had about 60 people most of whom came from abroad to dedicate our new facility - the Tel Aviv Messianic Center (TMC).  Due to safety restrictions from the outbreak of ...

Dear Friends, First, I must apologize that the last email that went out had an old subject line from April. These emails are built on more than one platform and I forgot to double check the settings on one of the platforms before it was sent out. Sorry about the confusion. Second, the contents of the email were correct. We are hopeful that we will be able to arrange a Zoom meeting with some of our prayer partners, and as the Lord enables, we would like to do this more.  Here are the details.  We know that some of you won't be able to make this because of prior commitments, and that is expected, but for those who can make, we are honored that you would choose to spend some time with us on Zoom. WHEN : Saturday, July 15th at 9pm Israel time...          That's 11am in California, 1pm in Minnesota and Alabama and 2pm in North Carolina and New York City.   WHERE:  On  ZOOM .

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners, As you can imagine, with our busy family, busy ministry general business and a building project, we have been... well, busy. But we want to make time for you and I had this revelation.... we can meet on ZOOM.   Want to join us? I am scheduling a ZOOM meeting just for you, our supporters.  We will give you a bit of a ministry update. Tell you more about the building project and let you ask questions. Perhaps we will even have a chance to let our kids talk and you can see how huge they have gotten! WHEN : Saturday, July 15th at 9pm Israel time...          That's 11am in California, 1pm in Minnesota and Alabama and 2pm in North Carolina and New York City.   WHERE:  On ZOOM .

Dear friends and ministry partners, In recent days there have been several rocket attacks at Israel from the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and in Southern Lebanon. As of the writing of this prayer request about 80 rockets have been fired.  On the one hand, this is a major escalation, yet on the other hand, there is always some expected escalation around the Islamic holiday of Ramadan.  For the entire month, we normally experience riots and other violence with terror organizations often calling for terror attacks against civilians. This year we have already experienced a large increase in terror attacks and the Israeli security establishment has been working hard to thwart terror continuously.  They stated in the news recently that they have been able to thwart over 200 planned terror attacks since the beginning of the year.  The success of their efforts is apparent, but not as apparent as their failure to thwart terror attacks.  This morning two sisters...

  Here is the background A terrorist walked into a synagogue (a house of worship) and started shooting innocent civilians as they were getting up to leave the building at the end of the service. This incident falls on the heels of other terrorist attacks and a growing movement towards violence led by extremists.  Earlier in the day, Hamas (the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip and it's 2 million people) fired a rocket at civilian populations in Israel.  Over the past several months, they have restrained themselves and others, but the fact that they claimed responsibility for the terror and rocket attack seems to indicate that they are now looking for an escalation.   What are False Equivalencies. One of the common and false responses to such attacks is to make false equivalencies. It is often said in the global press, that "the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other for centuries," or "they Arabs are responding to Jewish aggression." These false equ...

Dear Friends,  we need your prayers! Today! An anti-missionary organization (we have a few in Israel) has decided to try and intimidate us. They published an ad (see below) in the local ultra-orthodox Jewish newspaper calling for a mass protest against our Ramat Gan Ministry Center tonight at 7pm Israel time (noon EST).  Technically, they are calling to STOP THE PRAYERS. So we want to start the prayers!   We are NOT going to be intimidated! We are going to hold the event, but we are going to be smart about it. SOME BACKGROUND.  We had  planned a lovely event, with two musicians and their bands that are starting to gain traction and publicity.  Both competed on TV shows for upcoming stars and one is a known believer.  The anti-missionaries are being somewhat dishonest in their ad claiming that we are holding a young adults conference, rather than a public - open for all ages - concert. We filed a police complaint and hope that this may have an affect,...

Dear Prayer Partners, Jason and Janice Rose We are really excited to share some incredibly amazing news! This update is a bit longer than usual, but our big news is here at the beginning!  We are incredibly blessed by your prayerful support of our ministry. God has truly expanded and stretched us, as we have grown into the ministers that we are today. Through that growth, the Lord also expanded the team of people that minister alongside us. When we relocated to Israel in 2015, Mitch Glaser (President of Chosen People Ministries) asked us to start a Messianic Center in Ramat Gan. We had previously started a Messianic Center in South Tel Aviv, but the area grew dangerous over time. Although we loved the facility, we were renting it and that provided a measure of instability. It was certainly what we needed at the time. We learned a lot. The center in Ramat Gan was the fruit of our education. We learned a lot about what worked and what didn't and that certain ministry programs should ...

Praise God that there is a ceasefire! Dear friends and prayer partners,  Thank you for praying for our friends, family, loved ones and country over the last few days.  By God's grace and mercy, the conflict is over with minimal death and destruction. The ceasefire took effect last night and the rockets stopped just before midnight.   Most of those killed in the fighting were terrorists associated with the Islamic Jihad. Unfortunately, one of the terror group's missiles flamed out and dropped on a house in the Gaza Strip killing a family including several children. We grieve the loss of life of this family who were innocent bystanders - for all we know. Here is a link to the video released by the Israeli Defense forces about this errant missile. Around 1000 rockets were fired at Israel during three days of fighting. Half of the country's population kept close to safe rooms and bomb shelters during these three days.  Our family never had to run to our safe area becaus...

  Continued Prayer Requests... Dear friends, when I sent out the prayer requests last night, the rockets attacks from Gaza had not yet started. But it was not surprising that they started launching rockets a minutes after my email was sent. I want to give a little background, but before I do, I think it is important to start with the most urgent prayer requests.  There are many believing soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces, both active and reservists. They are now asking for our prayers for their protection and for them and their fellow soldiers... especially those in combat units. Please pray for God's protection also over the Israeli communities that are being attacked by rocket fire.  As we write this update, three rocket attacks were just aimed at Tel Aviv about twenty minutes ago. Were Janice and I live with the boys in Petach Tikvah, we haven't heard any warnings to run to our safe room, but our friends closer to Tel Aviv have. Lastly, please pray for the million...

Prayer Requests Dear friends and prayer partners, we want to take a moment and update you with a few important prayer requests. For Safety A few hours ago, the IDF began a preemptive attack on the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad as they were preparing terror attacks against Israel.  We are currently getting emails and text messages from Israel's homefront command reminding us to be close to a safe room, in the event that the terrorists fire rockets at us. For Provision After our beloved Citroen Jumpy (22 years old) broken down twice on same day... we knew we were in trouble.  The third time it broken down, was the final straw and the vehicle had to be taken off the road permanently.  As a result, we are down to one vehicle, a seven seater.  We had enjoyed have a 9 seat vehicle, so that we could take people with us and our entire family on road trips.  Please pray for God's provision to find a and pay for a replacement vehicle.

Dear friends, God has been gracious to us and allowed us to continue to serve Him even though the season has been difficult. We recently held many large events that a few months ago we were sure if we would be able to have them or not. This is not to say that Covid is totally behind us... in fact, Jason just got out of mandatory quarantine after being infected for the second time. Fortunately, only Jason seems to have been affected and he did isolate in our separate unit upstairs. What we are trying to say is that we have been pretty busy in ministry and we want to share with you some of the activities, but obviously not all. We have had a wonderful worship night, young adults Kabbalat Shabbat meal, and other community events with several non-believers joining each time and having amazing conversations with our friends and staff.  We continued to be amazed at the new faces that join us each time, as our community has continued to grow inspire of the pandemic! Praise God for  c...
