Thank you
to all who responded to my appeal for financial support of this ministry. It really means a lot – especially from those Israeli ministries who sent donations. The appeal was not meant for you – but it is impossible to say how your response touched my heart.

Priority Prayer Focus

My enemies reproach me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:10-11


Arrows from Zion Key Prayer Points
“He ordains His arrows against the persecutors”

PRAISE THE LORD! For news of an arrest made in the terror bombing of Ami Ortiz in the Spring of 2008. The arrest of an Orthodox man was made 2 weeks ago though a gag order which will be in place on the news media until later this week has held back reporting on what appears to be a conspiracy with wider schemes than the horrific Purim bomb that targeted the Ortiz family in Ariel. Praise God and Pray Israeli officials get to the bottom of the conspiracy and all involved would be held accountable to the full extent of the law (for the sake of all the public).

A spate of honest, balanced articles has been coming forth from the Liberal, secular-oriented Haaretz newspaper regarding persecution against Messianic believers. One thing Americans especially should understand – although there is a Liberal, Secular Left and a Conservative, Religious Right in both Israel and the U.S. there are some extremely important difference between to the – especially when it comes to religious freedoms. Pray for more Christians to get this distinction and thank God for honest press about the Body of Messiah in Israel!

Continue to pray ahead of the resumption of the Beer Sheva congregation court case on Nov. 23. Critical case!

Pray for deepening relationships between Israeli Messianic Jews and Palestinian Christian Arabs as they hold annual events together in the next weeks.

Continue to lift up all the Israeli ministries traveling to the four corners of the world – that they bring the Aaronic blessing to the nations, declare the gospel of the kingdom and return blessed by their hosts in all nations.

“Praise awaits You in Zion O LORD!” The Israeli Body is lifting up its voice to Messiah saying, Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai. Pray the anointed Psalmists of the Body in Israel be heard into the Heavens . “Their line (qav) is gone out through all the earth, and their words (millah) to the end of the world.” Psalm 19:4

Join your voice in prayer for the salvation of Jews and Arabs in Israel and the Palestinian controlled areas. There is no other road map to peace but the highway of righteousness, peace and joy in Messiah Yeshua.

Pray for Israeli congregations and ministries who are pouring out the Balm of Gilead on the wounds of its people.

Pray for those who heard the good news of the gospel over the High Holidays at Israeli Messianic congregational gatherings, to be wooed by the Holy Spirit and ushered by faith into the kingdom of the Yeshua Messiah. For the seeds that have been planting to starting breaking forth in the soil of hearts turned to Him.

Pray for the wisdom of God’s Spirit to rest upon the leadership of the Israeli Body of Messiah – for greater clarity over the issues of faith they have been wrestling with and understanding of how it will ultimately influence the Messianic communities throughout the Diaspora. “For out of Zion the law shall go forth….”

Pray for RELEASE of all properties, permits, funds and other needful items that Israeli ministries are waiting on the LORD for relating to ministry operations and expanding their tent pegs. SPEAK RELEASE! RELEASE! RELEASE! In the Name which all other names must bow to – our Yeshua.

Lift up the pastors all those Israeli ministries who do outreach among the different people groups in the Land of Israel – the Arabs, the Druze, the Bedouin, the Ethiopian, the Russian, the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Jews. Like a little melting pot of cultures, pray for these ministries to be anointed and funded to carry the gospel into these communities.

There are many troubling things happening internationally and the stress of the world is pressing in on believers everywhere - How much more the Israelis? Pray for the faith of God’s people to rise up so we might stand as beacons of hope in the Lord in the midst of an increasing scary encroachment of evil in our societies. Peace still the hearts of all those who love the LORD and are called according to HIS PURPOSES.

Feature of the Week

'Shalom Brazil' We are happy to announce that our music project "Shalom Brasil" has been completed. This vision was born two years ago when Tony saw the thousands of Brazilian believers coming to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. Last year his book, "The Mystery of Israel and the Church" was translated into Portuguese. This year, the CD is complete and is a bridge between our two nations. You can order this new music album and we will send it to you. The suggested price is $15 or 12€.
