Dear Friend in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

Warmest greetings to you in Emmanuel’s Precious and Exalted name! (Psalm 57:5 and 11). I pray that you are well and that this letter will be a great blessing to you. I thank God for each friend who is sacrificially giving and remembering this work of the Lord in their prayers. I thank God for your fellowship in the Gospel, and I praise Him for your help in showing the Jews and non-Jews the love of the Messiah. We know our service of love to Him among the Jewish People is pleasing to the Lord. (Mark 14:6c; Genesis 12:3), and we know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord hope to continue with you and some new brothers and sisters to partnering and have fellowship together also in this New, 2021 Year.

 We are in the last days before the Lord’s return. We know this from the signs of the times. The Lord Jesus is preparing the Jew for the time when He shall be revealed at His Second Coming to this people and out from the Jews to the Nations. It is the privilege of each believer on the Lord Jesus the Messiah to now have a vital part in supporting the faithful sowing of the Word of God among this people. Israel shall come to know the Lord Jesus the Messiah through the faithful sowing of His Word. This sowing of the Word of God among the Jews with our prayers is linked to the prophecy: “But ye shall be named the priests of the Lord: men shall call you ministers of our God” (Isaiah 61:6a). Israel shall minister the Messiah to the Nations, showing Christ and his glory to the Gentiles. (Isaiah 59:20-60:3; 66:19).

Dear Friend, I want to personally thank you of all encouragements from you, and for standing with me to bring the Gospel to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and for everyone.

In the last month of December, we were blessed to witness to more than 500 people, most of whom we met in Philadelphia, PA. About this work I’ll write to you, God willing, in my next month prayer letter. This time I want to continue share with other testimonies.

In Denver CO, with help of 2 Slavic Churches, we went to serve homeless people. Their main area is in Downtown. We saw many tents where they sleep, eat and unfortunately, use drugs. We also smelled very heavy odor of marihuana. Hundreds of people were there. Praise God, we had enough food for them. We witnessed, distributed Bibles and sang for them with Gospel songs. There are different people, different lives, and God loves all of us…and let’s have a compassion   to one another and do good work in the Name of Lord Jesus! After finishing, we decided to share Good News at 16th street, not far away from our current place. We met much more people. I was preaching publicly. Some were aggressive. But the most significant accident happened at the end, when 2 Satanist came to have a spiritual battle with us. We learned that this 2 people especially looking for Christian preachers do not give them opportunity to share Gospel. We were a group of 12 people, maybe more. I don’t have space to write what happened, but I needed to call loud Blood of Christ to protect us and destroy the evil spirit coming from this Satanists. When one of them heard that I called Blood of the Lamb, he started scream like demons, and telling me that I am destroying him… I am continuing call Blood of Yeshua. After while the Satanists left. Yes, this is spiritual war, but our fight is not against blood and flesh, but against principles and power of the evil one. Also, in McDonalds we met Spanish speaking lady and she accepted NT.
