ISRAEL UPDATE
We spoke with Pastor Irene today. She informed us that a mighty revival is taking place in Israel! She said the atmosphere is charged with hunger for the things of God during the past 12 day war and the current cease-fire. She said, “it feels much the same to her as when the Word of God first came to them in Ukraine in the 1990’s! At that time she was a Jewish Russian atheist! In her own words, many are praying to God who have never prayed before. Many are coming to faith in Christ as their Messiah. They have witnessed many miracles of salvation, protection, defense and provision. What a mighty move of God taking place!
She has been involved in increased humanitarian aid efforts during this time. Just today she provided food bags and Scriptural pamphlets for100 immigrants that arrived in her city. She has also provided food and necessary household items to those in Central Israel in Tel Aviv where many have lost jobs, homes, and loved ones. She mentioned that the entire nation came together with one heart and in one accord during this last military campaign that was known as “The Nation As A Lion” which comes from the Book of Numbers, Chapter 23 :24: “Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey and drink the blood of the slain.”
Once again we are witnessing the fearless and indomitable spirit of Pastor Irene and the Jewish people as they are standing upon the covenant promises of their Mighty God. He is hiding the people under His wings as we read in Psalm 91:1, “He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust”.
To God be ALL the Glory for the the great things He is doing all over the face of the earth!! In the midst of these times of the shaking of the nations, God is surely “pourng out of His Spirit upon ALL flesh…Acts 2:17-21! We are witnessing a GREAT harvest of souls!
Let us continue to pray not only for our dear brothers and sisters in Israel, but also for our Iranian brothers and sisters in Christ.

JUST IN !
We received today a short video from Pastor Irene where she expressed great appreciation for our prayers, intercession and support for them in such a very difficult time of war. She further expressed how real these Scriptures became to them: Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper…”, Psalm 121:4, “Behold, He that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep”. Psalm 91 became their everyday prayer during this time. Irene further said, “God is so faithful to keep His promises and His covenant with His people.”
She goes on to say, “Much love and all blessings to you and your families”
