                                                     Pastors Leonid & Olga V. in Odessa

In September, it was a huge blessing to fellowship with Messianic Jewish leaders from Ukraine, Israel, Germany, and other countries at a leaders' conference in Krakow, Poland. Pastors Leonid and Olga attended from Odessa. They planted two Jewish Messianic congregations beginning in 2010 in Odessa where they continue to serve despite the ongoing war. They shared how people this past summer received water immersions, food bags, biblical teaching as well as Leonid's work as a military chaplain who assists people in the warfront areas. Please continue to pray for them and their team of leaders who consistently preach the gospel and teach every Shabbat in two separate locations in Odessa. Messiah's Compassion had to delay the trip into Ukraine in September due to a vehicle repair needed. With the LORD's help, MC will be ministering in Kyiv and possibly a few other places in November. Everyone really appreciates your prayers and support! Again, the Jewish people in Israel likewise are grateful for everything too!

Steadfast Prayers and Good deeds for ISRAEL and Ukraine

Steadfast prayers are needed for both ISRAEL and Ukraine. The above photos show the work with Return to Zion congregation's project in Haifa for hot meals for Jewish people in need. Please pray that hearts to be open to receive the goodness of the LORD provided by Messianic believers who show the good deeds commanded in Scriptures and in the teachings of Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah. 

The war situation in Ukraine has become even more intense, with more civilian deaths and people wounded every day, especially since late August. We hear this from personal witnesses by the leaders with whom Messiah's Compassion partners. They simply ask for prayer for God's mercy to end the invasion and war by Russia.

Sharing From the WORD on Shabbat

I am writing to you directly from Israel where Messiah's Compassion has had many opportunities to serve Israeli people. Helping out in the kitchen for hot meals for seniors continues to be one way. Sharing from the Word of the LORD is special too, especially when it's among these precious Jewish Messianic believers. Messiah's Compassion is very grateful for the friendship we have with Return to Zion Messianic congregation in Haifa.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support as we continue to reach out and serve in the days ahead. It has been a unique time to encourage and assist some widows following medical operations. May the LORD bless you with a good autumn!

SUKKOT -5787 Feast of Booths

                                                            Sukkot traditional prayer

 

Greetings from ISRAEL! What a joy to join Jewish Messianic believers in Haifa, ISRAEL for the SUKKOT celebration! Messiah's Compassion had the opportunity to pray for a number of people following the service. There was a special prayer team from Norway and Latvia who led the teaching and prayer time. We are thankful that there has been relative calm for a period of time so that the believers could come together for the LORD's festival of Booths, remembering the days when the Israelites lived the desert before entering into the Promised Land.

Day of Atonement "Yom Kippur"

Would you join Messiah's Compassion in praying for Israel and the Jewish people worldwide during this most sacred day on their calendar: "Yom Kippur"?  You may find the biblical history of this special day in Leviticus 16, and then read Isaiah 53, Hebrews chapters 7-10, knowing Yeshua (Jesus Messiah) is both High Priest and final sacrifice, providing perpetual atonement.

Fasting for the Messianic Jewish believers means it is for a time of introspection and spiritual renewal, not for the atonement of sins for which Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) has already now completed. Fasting for the salvation of Israel, people's spiritual eyes to be opened to the truth of salvation thru Yeshua is for sure relevant on this significant day. 

Please pray that Jewish people will find ways to plan to return to Israel, as antisemitism is persisting and increasing as each year passes. 

Joyful Moments from Jewish New Year 5787 in SE Ukraine

These believers rarely get to meet together near the war frontlines due to rocket and drone attacks. By the LORD's sovereign plan, over a hundred gathered to observe Yom T'ruah, Feast of Trumpets on September 12th in this SE Ukraine city. Thank you for the faithful giving and prayers to help them during these crucial days of Harvest during the intensity of war.                                                                                                                                       Donate — Messiah's Compassion

Erev Yom T'ruah (Rosh HaShana)

Jewish family receives food packages

Slavic family receives medications

Messiah's Compassion is assisting over 100 people with necessary foods and medications very near the war front in Zaporozhe, Ukraine. Thank you, dear friends who give faithfully so, that this kind of work could continue during the Feast of Trumpets (Yom T'ruah). Unfortunately, the MC vehicle broke down and needed repaired right during this period of time. Nevertheless, the faithful Jewish Messianic leaders and other volunteers have been carrying on the work steadily as they always do. They serve in a city that receives missile and drone attacks daily from Russia. The LORD knows how that we must steadfastly pray for them and their congregation members. They are reaching Jewish / Slavic people with the good news of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) every week!
