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
1, 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 March
30. 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-Ha Moshiah, 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 500
people. Most of them we met in Philadelphia, Portland and
Cleveland.
In Chicago, with a brother from a local church, we went
again to Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Millennium
Park is very popular around the world. It was evening time
and lot of people visited this place. We chose to witness
personally and publicly. Even we had some small incidents,
overall the outreach went very blessed. We distributed
Christian brochures and some Scriptures. Two
Palestinians got witness, and after short conversation both
of them accepted DVD Jesus movie in Arabic, and only one
person received NT.
In State College, PA, during a football game, we had a great
opportunity to witness to students. Some of them were drunk,
but God gave us grace and mercy. Many literature was
distributed, and lot of youth people heard Good News. We
were walking on the streets where student’s dorms are
located, met people and reminded them about Jesus love.
Sure, we got strong opposition, but God protected us.
Through this outreach to young people I saw a very huge
spiritual problems they have. Most of them did not want to
hear Gospel.
One day, in a bank, in Cleveland area, I heard that somebody
was talking loud on the phone. When I put attention I
figured out that the language was Hebrew. I exited the bank
and decided to wait for the person. When he came out I
started to talk with him. This man was Jew by name A. from
Israel. He is working with his team in one of the malls. A.
invited me to visit him in the mall. I visited him and
witnessed not only to A., but also to 3 more Israelites.
Four of them accepted NT in Hebrew, and one person was an
orthodox Jew, who was interested to read NT and know more
about Messiah Yeshua. Praise God!
In an airport I met a Muslim family (parents and 2 adult
children, brother and sister), from UA Emirates. God blessed
me to witness to them. The young sister was open, but her
brother was very upset to hear about Jesus as a Lord and
only the way to be saved. His sister accepted Arabic Gospel
of John. Praise God! Two
other Palestinians I met in the same airport, accepted 1 DVD
Jesus movie and 1 Arabic New Testament.
