SHAVUOT "Pentecost" with Jewish People

Recent visit with Jewish man in Kyiv

If you can count to 49, then add one, you have the right number following Pesach (Passover). This number's significance means it is the next Feast in the Bible celebrated by the Jewish people - It is called "SHAVUOT" or Pentecost in English translations.

The "Ruach HaKodesh" (Holy Spirit) was poured out upon the Jewish followers of Yeshua (Jesus) who waited for the promise of this special event during their celebration in Jerusalem.

Here in Ukraine, we have been studying a lot about this biblical feast and what the Holy Spirit means to us and how He works in our lives today. We pray for one another by group conference calls via Viber group calls. We meet together for services on Zoom and Skype. The quarantine in Ukraine is beginning to come to an end. However, we have limited spaces to accommodate people by rules of attendance per square meter. Nonetheless, the Holy Spirit moves on people's hearts. He prays through us when we do not know how to pray with complete understanding. He builds us up,  and reveals the truth of the WORD. 

Pictured on the right are photos of just two of many Jewish people who received food packages recently during Pentecost.
One person came to faith in Messiah, praying to receive Yeshua, asking for forgiveness of sins! Thank you for support and intercessory prayers!!

Today, Messiah's Compassion has sent funds for food packages for Odessa's needy Jewish people. The crisis of COVID-19 has brought a lot of instability here among people's lives too.

As I write this from Kyiv, Ukraine today, my heart breaks for the USA and all that has recently transpired.  I am praying for the USA to return to the God of Israel, (the God of the Bible) in true repentance and thereby receive healing and restoration.
