Pressing Forward despite War

   Jeff & Tanya visit Jewish special needs children / youth 

In Zaporozhe, SE Ukraine, Jeff C. has been grateful to be active in assisting Jewish people for over 10 years. Part of the outreach has included Jewish families who have disabled children or youth. It has been a privilege to stand, pray with, and serve these families who face many challenges in daily life, now adding to it a terrible ongoing war with drone and missile attacks. Thank you for praying for these specific Jewish families with special needs family members. May the light of the LORD's salvation and healing give them daily hope to keep going on day after day. Please pray for the local Jewish Messianic Pastor Alexander and his wife, Oksana who have faithfully served these Jewish families.  

Serving Jewish People

 

Previously this synagogue served the Jewish community in Kutná Hora, Czechia. During WW2 most synagogues were closed as the Jewish people was transferred to concentration camps. Please pray for the remaining thousands of Jewish people in Czech Republic. They need to receive words of hope and comfort.  

Meanwhile, Messiah's Compassion is reaching out to Jewish people in Ukraine and Israel. These recent years have been some of the most difficult due to wars and displacement of families, being separated. Please keep praying for Jewish people and Messiah's Compassion. Your prayers and support are greatly valued!

Prayers for ISRAEL and Ukraine

Israel is under severe attacks from Iran and Yemen. Several people have died and many wounded.

 

Serving, Blessing Jewish people

Messiah's Compassion continues to bless Jewish people in Ukraine with prayer and food packages. Recently visits were made in Kyiv, Poltava, and Zaporozhe. The hand of the LORD was so good to protect us from harm during drone and missile, rocket attacks. However, we are so saddened by the ongoing war despite efforts to establish a real cease-fire and then peace agreement. Please keep praying for the Jewish / Slavic people in Ukraine. Please pray that Jewish people who are physically able to repatriate to Israel, do so. * Messiah's Compassion particularly was blessed to reconnect with the Poltava Messianic group in eastern Ukraine. Jeff ministered there in January of 2022 prior to the full invasion by Russia into Ukraine. The senior pastor evacuated but made sure there were leaders in place to keep the ministry among the Jewish people going. The current leaders received ministry cooperation with Messiah's Compassion, scheduling visits with needy Jewish retirees. We shared the good news of Messiah and prayed for their specific needs. Plans now are being made to minister more times this year in Ukraine as well as an extended trip into Israel, as the LORD wills. These end times are critical for Messiah's Compassion to actively share the good news of Messiah with those whom (Israeli believers) first brought the good news to the nations over 2000 years ago.

PURIM in ISRAEL

 

             Purim drama and celebration at Or Chai Jewish Messianic congregation near Haifa, Israel

Recently, the Jewish people around the world celebrated the victory of survival called Purim, found in the book of Esther in the Scriptures.

Many visitors came to see the drama written and performed by the new congregation near Haifa. There was a spirit of great joy and festivity, knowing the LORD has given the Jewish people victory over their enemies. His faithfulness of the past proves His steadfast plans regarding the future of Israel too, knowing the LORD Himself causes miracles to take place when key people step up to obey Him.  (like Mordechai and Esther (Hadassah). The Jewish people were saved from a plan to destroy them throughout all of the Persian empire. 

Likewise, the Odessa New Jerusalem congregation performed a Purim drama that was a blessing for all who attended or watched online via internet.

Thank you for blessing the Jewish people through Messiah's Compassion by prayers and by giving financial support even during difficult times.

Jewish couple receives food package 

Messiah's Compassion was blessed to recently serve Jewish people in west Ukraine in a couple of cities. Jeff spoke at once Jewish Messianic congregation in the beginning of March. Having visited a couple two Messianic congregations and a Pentecostal church for a special prayer meeting, we are truly grateful for the safe journey by vehicle, and the fellowship of the believers who warmly received us. Believers are very weary of the ongoing war in Ukraine, but they show tenacity by their perseverance to worship the LORD and serve others. There was a beautiful spirit of worship in each location. 

Messiah's Compassion was invited to visit and pray for a Jewish grandmother who has been unable to walk since 2019. Luba, her, and grandson all survived the attacks in east Ukraine during the war. They evacuated to west Ukraine and live government dormitory housing. The local Messianic Jewish believers met them and began to help them in practical ways. We were blessed that both grandmother and her daughter were ready to pray for forgiveness of sins. Luba and Anya prayed to receive Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah! Glory to His Name! (A food package and some medical basics were provided also for this Jewish family. The local believers will continue to bless them and disciple them.) 

Please earnestly pray for Jewish people in ISRAEL and Ukraine to be open to the message of good news as they celebrate special services during Purim and Passover. Thank you for all you do to help us reach the Jewish people with the love of the Messiah!
