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 20, 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 12. 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. In Seattle WA, with help from a few brothers and sisters of local churches, we had an outreach at Pike Market. It was raining, but many people were still there. Pike Market is a very popular place where you could buy any food you wish. We were walking by, holding posters with Scripture, and loudly proclaiming the gospel. We had an opposition from different people and groups who were screaming and showing middle fingers to us. But some people were open, especially Muslims, who were mainly accepting New Testaments. I remember one Muslim lady who told me that she always wanted to have NT and she accepted. Probably 10-12 NT’s were distributed and some other evangelical brochures. At the end I met a family from India. They told me that they never read the Bible. I witnessed to them and offered the book, which they accepted. I also met a Jewish young man, but he didn’t want to talk.
In Greenville SC, there was also heavy rain. It was cold, but we needed to witness, and God blessed us. The city on that day had a Broadway show “Hamilton’. Many people were attending. It was raining, but lot of them were waiting outside while the doors of the concert hall were closed. We were standing at a corner and using a microphone to share the message of God’s love. We distributed a lot of materials. Some people didn’t like to hear the gospel. South Carolina is not what it was before. It changed dramatically, and unfortunately more people are against God now. We also went to a park and witnessed there, and Lord’s Name exalted and glorified.
