We will celebrate our redemption from Egyptian bondage
through the shed blood of the lamb slain (see Exodus 12)—a
prophetic portrait of the lamb of God who was and is and
greater bondage of sin and death!
Thanks again for your prayers and very faithful support
of our work in North America, Israel, and around the world.
Perhaps you would like to give a
Lamb!
As you turn the pages of the
newsletter, I know you will enjoy the
reports of what God is doing in the
hearts of Jewish people and the excellent
article by Dr. Walter Kaiser about Israel’s
future relationship with Egypt. This

book, Israel, the Church, and the Middle
If Israel and Egypt will one day
be fully reconciled, just imagine what He
can do today in our hearts! The current
the personal challenges we face in our
lives, families, and ministries today,
are not beyond His reconciling and
redeeming power.

What a great joy to bring this life-changing message to
the Jewish people!
Thanks for caring, and Happy Passover!

many people for Jesus as the Lord enables,
and also to the Gentile (Romans 1:16).
However, when it comes to the work of the gospel in
Israel, we know that if the ultra-Orthodox—for whom we
also pray—are given more power in the next government, it
will mean that fewer and fewer Messianic Jews will be able
to become citizens of Israel and that the spread of the gospel
would be limited! This could easily happen, though we pray
it does not.
We have recently heard of some
Jewish believers in Jesus who were
not “missionaries” yet were still denied
Israeli citizenship because they were
accused of seeking to turn Jewish people
to Jesus. This deeply concerns us as we
continue to send workers to Israel—
especially Jewish believers who can
become citizens and remain in Israel for
a lifetime.
I fully understand why Israelis do not
want Jews or Gentiles coming to Israel to
preach the gospel. Most Jewish people
still believe that when you become a
believer in Jesus you cease to be Jewish.
This is not true, of course. But it is
probably the primary reason why Jewish
people all over the world, not just in
Israel, do not believe in Jesus.
In Israel, those who believe this also
hold the political and civil power to keep Messianic Jews from
becoming citizens of Israel because of their faith. This is not
true in America, Canada, or any other country in the world.
So, we are praying that the election and coalitions that form
will not take a harsh stand against Messianic Jews emigrating
to Israel under the Law of Return (making ).
Please pray with us as we are experiencing a wonderful
season of growth in Israel. More and more Israelis—especially
younger people—are intrigued by Jesus, and we are reaching
them one-on-one and through our many digitally-based
evangelistic strategies. Our work in Jerusalem is going well,
as is the work at our center in Ramat Gan (Tel Aviv area),
where we are ministering to young adults and younger
families.
We cannot move forward without your love, prayers, and
generous support. Thank you for caring!
