Another report of an Israeli believer who spent Christmas with the Arab Christians in Bethlehem is a heartening testimony in the Weekly Summary this week. Also the encouraging note that the PA controlled Bethlehem was hospitable to the Christmas celebrations rather than hostile “as the Hamas have been brought to heel or deported to Gaza.”

Like the Christmas celebrations in the Western world, however, there was more Santa Claus than Jesus in evidence in the greater Bethlehem revelry. Among the worshipers of the Arab Immanuel churches there was a different spirit – one new man in Messiah alive and well in Bethlehem.

Pray for the PA President, Abu Mazen (Abbas), who though far from a perfect partner for peace negotiations, is far better than the radical alternatives who would fight to step inside his shoes in leadership.

Pray for what God is doing among the Arab people of the West Bank and Gaza. The LORD has his eyes on many of them, and we have the privilege of agreeing with Him for their hearts to be softened toward the Messiah.

Eddie & Lura Beckford continue to need your prayers.
Today another of many court cases brought against them by their persecutors saw the persecutor/accuser, Mendel, lie under oath repeatedly and the judge delay testimony from the Beckfords until March 8th.

Pray FOR the Beckfords and for deliverance for Mendel, the ever present persecutor of believers in Arad.

When the winds changed as the Carmel inferno was approaching the congregation HaCarmel, the Lord spared a congregation this month celebrating their 20th anniversary as a congregation. The guiding visions of the ministry – Jer 1:12, Is 58:7-8, Eph 2:14-15, 22; Is 42:11-13 and Luke 2:32 are reaffirmed on this 20th birthday. Mazal tov, Kehilat HaCarmel!

Mazal tov to Howard Bass also as last Shabbat, 1/1/11 marked the 11th year since he was ordained the full time pastor of Nachalat Yeshua (Inheritance of Yeshua) in Beer Sheva! Abundant blessings upon those who have remained obedient to the Heavenly vision.

In the Galilee during 2010 one of the more than 120 Messianic congregations of Israel reported a blessed year with 19 baptisms, 11 new babies born, 5 weddings, 5 people saved on their dying bed, and 25 new families added to the fellowship. To the delight of the pastor, one of the babies was his first granddaughter. Mazal tov to healthy, growing Israeli congregations.

Thank God! Prayers for a new believer put out of her parents home because of her faith in Yeshua have been answered and she is returned home. Pray for the parents hearts to be softened toward Yeshua by their child, and that she would continue to remain strong in her own faith.

Pray for the believers serving in the Israeli Defense Forces. There are times of relative quiet, but there is always danger and conditions can change in an instant. Pray for Yeshua to be big within each of the believers as they carry out their duties.

Pray also for tender, new souls that have been brought near to God through faith in the Messiah, the Hope of Israel. Pray for those who labor in the ministry – many struggling to make ends meet even as the serve the people practically and spiritually. For every need to met in the name of Yeshua.

The finding of a former Israeli President guilty on 2 counts of rape, is a reflection of the “high level of sexual immorality and Jezebel spirits within Israeli society.” Pray for sexual immorality and abuse to be diminished by right judgments in the courtrooms, for the homosexual and Jezebel agendas to be driven out of the school system, and for the salvation of the former Israeli President…and all of Israel.

The huge natural gas field discovered last week at the Leviathan site is a potential 100 billion dollar blessing to Israel – with serious challenges accompanying including Islamic extremist opposition in the area (like Hizballah), technical difficulties bringing the gas out and processing it, and third a sticky taxation situation that must be worked out. Pray for this to be a blessing to Israel.
