IMPORTANT: I first forwarded the Anti-missionary Organizations May Be Watching You from Jerusalem Institute of Justice to my mailing list on 7/31/08. This is an article that really needs attention paid to it. It is not exaggeration, nor paranoia. Please read (below) and pray over this serious matter. –Donna Diorio
Thank God for the Judge allowing Lura & Eddie to leave Israel for 2 months and good indications in their case to end house arrest. The judge told their lawyer that there are 30 court cases pending of Haredi complaints against various believers in Arad. THIS IS SOMETHING TO APPEAL TO THE HIGHEST COURT!
Pray blessing going out and coming in for Israeli ministries who are touching base with supporters worldwide and ministering to those whose hearts God has stirred with an eagerness to hear what Yeshua is doing in Israel. Grace, Anointing, Favor and Blessing to be the continual path before these.
Thank God for the opportunities to minister that the Holy Spirit orchestrates for believers to share the love of Messiah with their neighbors, friends and families. Thank God for the fields that are white unto the harvest and for the laborers in the Israeli field. Pray that every need would be met – spiritual and material.
While Israel’s political situation always seems to be on the verge of chaos…don’t forget Israel’s ultimate need for an advocate before the Father and Judge of all. That advocate is, of course, Yeshua the Messiah. Speak an opening of eyes and the breath of the Spirit to enter the standing, dry bones.
Pray for a RELEASE on all the HINDERING, BINDING RESTRAINTS holding back the visions from the Lord taking flight among the Israeli ministries – a RELEASE to SOAR, to FLY AMONG the EAGLES with EVERY VISION given by GOD. Speak that the tethers that have bound visions to the ground to be LOOSED in the Name above all names!
It is a continual blessing to read the testimonies each week in the prayer letters that become mere bulleted points in this Prayer Summary. If you are on my mailing list and don’t open the full version, you should set a goal for yourself to once a month open and read the fuller excerpt so you don’t miss the power of what God is doing in the lives of lost and broken Israelis through the Body of Messiah in Israel. Like the excerpt of testimonies included in the House of Victory prayer letter this week.
Continue to pray for the upcoming final trial date in Beer Sheva for Howard Bass and the Yeshua’s Inheritance Congregation. It is a case with impact for all Israeli believers. Also inside is information on how you can help with the cost of the lawsuit which is being represented by attorneys who are also believers in Yeshua.
Pray for the Church to begin to awaken to the truth of the apostle Paul’s statement: “Concerning the gospel they are enemies”. Christians understand the last part of the verse “concerning the election they are beloved” but we are not wise to comprehend the depth of reality that many are ENEMIES of the gospel.
STAND WATCH over where your seed is planted in Israel – for we are accountable. With one hand Christian contributions are received by Israeli unbelievers and with the other hand Israeli Believers are persecuted through Christian funding….and we must wise up and not be conned by disingenuous relations.
If you have not read the special report I sent out over the weekend, Jew on Jew Terrorism - Police May Have a Confession in the Ami Ortiz Case - please do. When the gag order lifts and the story breaks in Israel it is going to be told in much different terms by voices in Israel that many of you listen to – like Nadia Matar of Women in Green, Israel National News, and other religious-nationalist settler spokesmen. They are already laying a foundation of accusations against the Israeli Security Services to deflect the acts of one of them who was arrested in early October for violent terrorist acts – Jew on Jew violence.
This is going to be a case to try the souls of not only Israelis, but also Christians and Messianics who have been supporting these groups. The line between right and wrong has become so blurred that they think “all means are justified” – just as Yuval Azoulay wrote in Haaretz recently (“Unbelievable”).
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. It will come through the agency of the people of the Messiah standing as a witness to the people of the Book in the Land of the Promise.

Anti-missionary Organizations May be Watching You
First published in July 2008
If you are a Messianic Jew or a Christian with a heart for evangelism, there is a good chance that you are being spied upon and carefully monitored by a very dangerous group of organizations, whose members will stop at nothing to get what they want. Masquerading under the guise of the “protectors of Judaism,” anti-missionary organizations such as Yad Le’Achim, Lev Le’Achim, and Jews for Judaism systematically promulgate vicious propaganda, inciting hatred and sometimes even violent actions aimed at Christians and Messianic Jews worldwide.
Illegal Political Work According to Yad Le’Achim’s USA website – maintained by the contributions of often well-meaning American Jews who are unaware of the group’s malicious nature – “Yad Le’Achim fights the missionaries in a variety of ways, some of which, due to their sensitive nature, can’t be described in detail.”
Reliable sources have revealed to JIJ that anti-missionary organizations consistently submit information to the Israeli Ministry of Interior regarding local and international Messianics, so that the Messianics may be “blacklisted”, prevented from immigrating to Israel and denied other basic civil rights. We have also learned that Jews for Judaism activists often brief Jewish Agency officials in the US on the subject of how to “spot” a Messianic Jew and prevent him or her from immigrating to Israel. Such organizations pride themselves on having “spies” within Messianic Jewish congregations, who see all that goes on.
The propaganda repeatedly promulgated in the religious press in Israel equates every Messianic Jew to being a missionary and every missionary to be worse than Hitler or the Palestinian terrorists. “What does Hamas want? The land. (The Messianics) want something else: our souls…” the leader of Yad Le’Achim recently told an Israeli daily. More can be read here.
Additionally, these organizations have recently stepped up their campaign of illegal public slander directed against local Messianic Jewish and Christian leaders in Israel. Anti-missionary activists often hang posters in public areas on which are printed the names, addresses, and pictures of Messianic and Christian leaders, along with insulting captions.
We at the JIJ are concerned that such actions may lead to further crimes against the Messianic community, such as was recently the case in a small West Bank town called Ariel. In late 2007, such posters were distributed in Ariel and aimed at David Ortiz, the local Messianic leader. Just a few months later, Mr. Ortiz’s son Amiel was seriously injured when a bomb blew up in his face after being delivered to the Ortiz home. Some suspect that anti-Missionary activists were behind not only the posters, but perhaps even the bombing itself.
You Can Help The greater Messianic and Christian community must not sit in silence as its members are attacked on a daily basis. Almost unbelievably, we are aware of a few well-meaning Messianic and Christian organizations that have been tricked into funding anti-missionary organizations, because these groups claim to “advance Jewish values.” If you live in the United States, we encourage you to write to your local governmental representatives, asking them to help us in our battle to disband the US branches of anti-missionary organizations. If you live outside the United States, we encourage you to visit our donation page and help us in our battle for religious freedom and civil rights in Israel.
