Feast of Booths (Tabernacles) is underway here in ISRAEL. The Jewish people remember the time when they were wandering in the wilderness before they the LORD led them into the Promised Land. Please read Leviticus 23:33-43; John 1:14; John 7:1-39.
Messiah's Compassion focuses on key partnerships with local Jewish Messianic fellowships. For the past three years each autumn, it has been awesome to serve right side by side with some dear leaders, workers, and congregation members. Return to Zion congregation in Haifa faithfully reaches out to the local Jewish community with various projects: providing hot meals for Israeli seniors, and necessary home items for new immigrants (Jewish people returning to Israel). Despite threats of rocket attacks from terrorists' groups in Iran and Lebanon, they continue to preach, teach, and serve Jewish people in practical ways.
Would you please intercede for Messiah's Compassion to be most effective during these next crucial weeks of ministry in ISRAEL? It is a privilege to serve Jewish people, but it often comes with intensive spiritual warfare, even bringing opposition, confusion, doubt, fear and restlessness before the spiritual breakthroughs. Pray for unity and cohesiveness among the members of the local Jewish Messianic fellowships. The enemy often tries to divide them with bouts of misunderstanding and discouragement. Jeff recently preached from Colossians 3:1-5, prioritizing seeking heavenly realities.
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the prolonged war in Israel, and various reasons, Jeff has not been able to do a complete itineration (visiting churches stateside) since 2015. Messiah's Compassion completely depends on individuals and congregations who feel led to financially support and pray for this ministry.
Thank each one of you who give and pray for this ministry to Jewish people! Opportunities are abounding, and there is a greater openness to share Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah during this season! More updates from ISRAEL and Ukraine will be forthcoming.
