Remember
that Passover is not just about fascinating traditions of a meal, but it is a
prophetic foreshadowing of the deliverance of Israel – not just in the past but
very much in the present hour. Even
while Israelis are busy, busy shopping and making all the preparations for the
Passover Seder, the Holy Spirit is also moving all over the Land and among Jews
in all the nations preparing hearts to awaken to the very Messianic deliverance
the Passover story foreshadows.
Pray that Holy Spirit will grant unprecedented numbers of salvations bursting forth from Messianic Seders in congregational gatherings and in private homes – in Israel and around the world. Passover is one of the “moed” appointed times for Israel to appear before the LORD. That salvation would be a major fruit of sharing the good news of Yeshua with Jews during Passover is expected! It is an appointed time for the Holy Spirit to move mightily. Let’s pray that He does and a might surge of response from Israel marks this Passover 2013.

Arrows from Zion
Strategically Aimed for the Lord’s Harvest in Israel
From Tents of Mercy the focus this week is on the
Katzir (Harvest) National Youth Ministry currently underway. As shared in the Special mailing yesterday,
thousands of Messianic youth have passed through the Katzir camps that was
started 13 years ago under the leadership of Eitan Shishkoff. The camps are put on 3 times a year and many
of the young adults who are now counselors in the camps were once the teens
attending. Please pray for the work of
the Holy Spirit in the lives of all taking part in the camps, and that as they
go their way from it, they will go built up in their spirits for the harvest that
is at hand.
Like
many of the congregations and ministries across Israel, Tents of Mercy has been
providing Passover food baskets to the needy in their communities. This year they were blessed to provide
Passover food for 700 families. In
Acco, the sister congregation Harvest of Asher distributed food coupons to the
needy in their city. These are important
outreaches for all the congregations to be able to demonstrate the compassion
of Yeshua for those who hunger and thirst.
One of
the grandmothers of Tents of Mercy that we have been praying for has passed
into eternity and is one of three from the Tents Seniors group that have gone
to be with the LORD in the past two months.
Their believing families are feeling the loss. Please pray for these families and for the
community as a whole that we would be strengthened
by the Lord to see the young generation coming into the fullness of their
destiny.
David and Leah Ortiz in Ariel report that there has been yet another postponement in the sentencing of Jack Teitel. Without giving a reason why the sentencing has now been moved to April 9th. The Ortiz ask for prayer that sentencing would finally take place on that date, and that “there will not be any kind of devilish plan being hatched by the defense attorneys to somehow lighten the sentence.”
Leah writes about her son, Ami, who is still
suffering from the heinous act committed by Jack Teitel now five years later.
Ami still deals with low level pain daily, scars, missing toes and the nagging
ringing in his ears. Yet she writes,
every day “the beauty of who he is shines forth brighter and brighter; a deep,
gentle and compassionate person who has gone through tragedy and unspeakable
suffering yet who has survived without a trace of bitterness or hatred.” Thank God for such a testimony!
Recently on campus Ami began to experience
discomfort in his eyes, went to health services and was referred on to an eye
specialist who removed a small piece of ceramic from the white of his eye. It is one of many particles still lodged in
his body from the full on blast of the bomb Teitel planted in a Purim gift
basket. Pray for Ami as he continues to
deal with these after effects of religious hatred. Pray that justice will be done for him and
pray for the hardened heart of religious persecutors in Israel to see the Light
of Yeshua – departing from evil. You can
read more inside the attached Weekly
Summary.
Howard Bass of Nachalat Yeshua in Beer Sheva reports on his recent ministry trip into South Africa – Durban, Port Elizabeth and Capetown. A couple who distribute the Living Stones DVD is South Africa teamed up with the Jonathan & David Foundation to expose more South Africans to the existence of the Body of Messiah in Israel. Pray for the LORD to raise up more groups like this in the nation who are investing themselves in the Body of Believers in Israel, so the Word may go forth Zion again in our lifetimes!

Pray for the LORD to raise up more groups like this in the nation who are investing themselves in the Body of Believers in Israel, so the Word may go forth Zion again in our lifetimes!
As Howard writes, “Israel
is important for other nations, being that she is the first-born, as the Lord
told Moses to tell Pharaoh. The other nations' destinies are joined to Israel
receiving her inheritance. Israel is
important to all believers, as the destiny of the Church is connected with
Israel's salvation as a people, and dwelling in the land promised to the
fathers for their descendants. All of
this is connected with the return of the Lord to judge the nations and to
[re-]establish God's Kingdom over all that He created and made. The whole creation is groaning until then.”
Kobi and Shani Ferguson of Yeshua Israel write about the Wild,
Wild West (Bank). According to
recent statistics “Palestinians
per-capita receive the highest amount of foreign aid in the world. And yet,
Palestinian society remains impoverished with no infrastructure to speak of
other than the infrastructure built by the Israeli government. Where does all the money go?”
But it’s not all bad news, because Kobi also
shares about an Arab church planter that he is discipling from the
territories. It will encourage you to
see how Yeshua unites Jew and Palestinian in Himself – no other peace process
can do that! See how you can play a part
in the exchange going on between these powerful Holy Spirit relationships
between Jewish and Palestinian believers in Jesus - inside the attached Weekly Summary.
Guy Cohen of the Harvest of Asher congregation
in Acco also shares of deepening relationships going on between their
congregation and the Lebanese Christian pastor Joseph Hadad who leads a
congregation in nearby Nahariya. Guy
writes that the two pastors “feel it is time to build a closer relationship
between the congregations according to Ephesians 2:11-22 - we are one new man.
Please pray for us and help us to build the spiritual Tabernacle of God.” This are tender works of the LORD, so let’s
uphold them in this vision.
Guy offers a short teaching that came from
reading the Passover Haggadah about the oppressor as in the days of Egypt “is
still alive and making every attempt to put back into slavery all those whom
God has released. . . . His goal
is to keep us from coming into our inheritance.” You can read it inside the Weekly Summary,
and catch up on the prayer requests of various ministries they would like
prayer for, including the expansion of their Warehouse facility in preparation
for war. “Our vision is for a multi
function warehouse facility where we could distribute food on a regular basis
as well as for storage of equipment and supplies in time of war. Please pray
for the will of God and His timing and provision for this vision.”
Israel Pochtar of Beit Hallel in Ashdod writes
this week about the stories of Passover with all its plagues visited on Egypt
and the swarm of locusts – a plague of Biblical proportions – that has been
taking place as Israel prepares for Passover.
Israel has had to battle some of the swarms that were wind-swept into
Israel but the government was prepared and effectively dealt with the incidents
with limited damage. Egypt has not been
so blessed and has suffered greatly.
Meanwhile, Israelis are rejoicing also over the abundance of winter
rains that have pulled their major water source out of danger for the first
time in something like 8 years. The Sea of Galilee is now almost at its maximum
level. Much to praise God for!
Despite being targeted for on-going religious
persecution, the congregations and ministries Pochtar heads are continuing to
push out with the gospel. Over Passover they will host a Seder for believers
and their guests. They are also putting
finishing touches on a special gospel outreach that involves a special musical program and the message of God’s plan for
Israel throughout history…and Israel’s Messiah.
Pray with them, and for the follow up after the event which Poctar says
is crucial.
Ron Cantor, who has stepped into a stronger
role in the leadership of Tiferet Yeshua, is doing some great work via his new
weekly podcast that we highly recommend for news analysis, interviews with
Israeli ministry leaders, biblical insight and teaching – a little something
for everyone. Click here to listen to the latest
episode. Cantor has also initiated a
5-minutes to pray for their service every Friday as they contend for revival in
Tel Aviv. See the video.
Urgent HEALING Needs: Life and Death is in the power of the
tongue
Please keep in prayer the Israeli
believers who are fighting for their lives or other urgent health needs:
Pray for God’s complete healing of; Katya
Morrison at Tents of Mercy (recovering
from bone marrow transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia); Brookie
in the Galilee and Tom both are
believing for victory over cancer in Carmel. Ariel and Elise of Succat Hallel; Pray for Kay Wilson still suffering from PTSD after surviving a stabbing
terrorism attack that her friend did not survive. Continue to pray for baby Netaley, who had an MRI on 3/18. Her parents have been praying for
every bit of tumor to be dissolved, shriveled up, dead and gone. Please join in
that prayer.
Inside the attached Weekly Summary is an update for Katya Morrison who has been waging warfare against a severe form of leukemia. Our prayers can help.
Praying the Headlines
Pray for the 33rd Israeli Government which has been formed under the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. See photo and the list of names and ministry appointments that have been made in what many of the believers are calling perhaps the strongest and most well balanced government Israel has ever seen. You know when God does something like this, it is usually because the need for such strength and balance is coming down the path!
Also pray for the US President who is on the ground in Israel as we prepare to send this prayer summary out. Ask God to His will in the relationships between these leaders that will impact both nations, and many other nations besides. God only truly knows the way ahead.
