Jesus
had no
servants,
yet they
called Him
Master.
Had no
degree, yet
they called
Him Teacher.
Had no
medicines,
yet they
called Him
Healer.
Had no army,
yet kings
feared Him.
He won no
military
battles, yet
He conquered
the world.
He committed
no crime,
yet they
crucified
Him.
He was
buried in a
tomb, yet He
lives today.
Hallelujah!
Dear Friend
in the Lord
Jesus the
Messiah,
Warmest
greetings to
you in the
blessed Name
of our
Coming Lord
Yeshua.
Thank you
very much
for your
prayers and
faithfully
support of
this
ministry to
our Lord
Jesus as we
reach out in
love with
the Gospel
of the
Messiah to
an
increasing
number of
Jewish and
not-Jewish
souls in
these last
days. The
Lord will
richly bless
you and give
you His joy
as you bless
and do good
to the
Jewish
People in
His Name. We
are
privileged
to love the
Jews for the
Messiah’s
sake (Gen.
12:3;
Rom.11:30-31).
On April 16,
most
churches
will
celebrate
Passover. By
the Bible,
Pesach
should
always be on
14 Nissan
(Aviv). In
this year,
by Jewish
calendar,
Passover
will be on
sunset of
April 10.
Passover is
the first
holiday and
is also
first in the
Biblical New
Year,
because God
says that
the New Year
starts in
the month of
Nissan
(Aviv). When
Lord blessed
the bread (Mazah)
which was
eaten in the
day of
Passover and
was given to
his
disciples,
He said that
this bread
is His body.
The cup of
wine, which
they
separated
after the
supper,
which
symbolized
salvation,
joy, and
blessings,
after the
blessings of
Yeshua-HaMoshiah,
started to
be His
blood,
spilled for
our sins.
This is the
new value,
which Jesus
put in the
Passover.
And now
Passover has
spiritual
value for
everyone in
the world,
who believes
in Yeshua
the Messiah-
who is our
Passover.
“Behold the
Lamb of God
which taketh
away the sin
of the
world! “
(John
1:29b). The
Passover
holiday is a
great
holiday,
which talks
to us about
the
deliverance
of the Dead,
so that we
are the
children of
God, for
which Lord
Jesus the
Messiah died
on the
cross.
In the
Bible, we
see in the
month of
Nissan
(Aviv) 3
holidays in
8 days.
First it’s
the Passover
which shows
us Lord’s
death as the
Lamb of God.
Next day
starts a
Feast of
Unleavened
Bread which
shows that
we are holy
in Him. This
holiday
continues
for 7 days.
But on the 2nd day
of this
holiday
comes
another
holiday
called First
fruit that
shows us the
resurrection
of the
Messiah
(1Cor.15:20).
3 holidays,
3 prophecies
fulfilled in
8 days. We
can read
about these
holidays in
the book of
Leviticus
23.
In
February by
God’s grace
I witnessed
to more than
1000 people.
Most of them
we met in
San
Francisco,
Sacramento,
Chicago,
Pittsburg
and
Cleveland.
As I
mentioned in
the previous
letter, I
continue
with
testimonies
about my
previous
trips.
In Chicago,
Woodfield
Mall, I met
7
Israelites.
Four of them
(3 women and
a young man)
were open to
accept
Hebrew NT
for reading.
A Muslim
from
Pakistan got
NT. Two
persons from
Moldova told
me that they
were
attended a
church
before, but
now they are
not. I tried
to encourage
them to find
a church in
Chicago and
start to
attend, but
first of all
to continue
read Bible.
In Water
Tower Place
I met other
3
Israelites.
Two young
ladies and
one man.
Unfortunately,
all of them
rejected to
accept
Scriptures.
The man even
told me that
he doesn’t
care where
he is going
after this
life, to
heaven or to
hell.
Next my step
was to share
Gospel
publicly on
a very busy
Michigan
Ave. in
downtown
Chicago. It
was raining,
but lot of
people were
walking
including
many
tourists. I
witnessed to
many of
them, but
most of
pedestrians
declined
wonderful
news. It’s
little
surprised me
as I saw
this kind of
rejection
mainly in
San
Francisco
area, but I
found it in
Chicago as
well.
In Rochester
NY we
witnessed in
a Mall. I
met a
Russian
Jewish man,
who has been
in states
since 1978.
He was open
to listen
Gospel and
accepted NT.
An Israeli
told me that
he has a
girlfriend
who started
to take him
to a church
she attends.
Two Turkish
Muslims got
Scriptures,
and a
Kurdish man
from Turkey
as well.
In
Pittsburgh
we had a
public
outreach in
Streep
District
area.
Hundreds and
hundreds
were there.
God gave us
grace to
read Bible
publicly,
preach,
share and
distribute
Christian
literature.
Even we had
couple
conflicts
(mainly with
gay),
everything
went
blessed.
In Cleveland
area I met a
young lady.
Her name is
M. and she
is from
Israel. She
accepted
Hebrew Bible
and in front
of me
started to
tell her
Israeli
coworker
that it
could be
true that
Yeshua is
the Messiah
of Israel.
Her coworker
also
accepted
Scriptures.
Praise God!
At the same
place I met
2 Arabs from
Morocco, and
they both
received
Arabic NT.
In Seattle,
I met 6
people from
Israel.
Three of
them
accepted
Holy
Scriptures.
One lady who
got NT told
me that I am
a first Jew
whom she met
and told her
about Yeshua
as a
promised
Messiah of
Israel.
Another
woman also
recognized
me from King
of Prussia
mall in PA
when I
witnessed to
her 6 months
ago. I asked
her if I
gave her
Bible on
that time.
She
responded:
“Yes”. I
encouraged
her to read
the Word.
In my next prayer letter I’ll continue, God willing, to share with more testimonies.
