After a year of escalating violence between warring factions in Northern Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government declared a state of emergency this week.

On our hearts especially are the many dear congregations and brothers and sisters in the Lord that we know and love there, as well as our NGO staff and in ...

““Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Psalm 122:6 (NIV) Shalom, my friend. With so much tension and turmoil stirring against the Jewish people – with Hamas, Iran and those who are eager to see Israel destroyed — we must engage in battle through our prayers by asking God to intervene and accomplish His purposes. And this isn’t just about the global enemies who are surrounding Israel – it’s also about our own lives. We must be a people of prayer. That in every circumstance we face, we’...

Eight-year-old Esther Gever laid hold of her father’s arm in their Vienna home, facing off against the Nazi soldier trying to take him away. “No! You cannot take my father!” she asserted. “Why would you take my father?” The soldier growled back, “Because he is a Jew.” Esther persisted, “You will not take him! He didn’t do anything.” The soldier had had enough of this little girl standing in his way, slowing down his dirty business that night. He grabbed Esther by the front of her shirt and threw...

““Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Psalm 122:6 (NIV) Shalom, my friend. While the Scriptures tell us to pray for the “peace of Jerusalem” in any and every season — my heart is moved for us to be more vigilant in prayer than ever before. While all indications appear that war with Iran seems to be inevitable and even imminent, we know that God has the power to change hearts, lives and circumstances. I’m sure you’ve experienced God’s supernatural presence in your own life. And...

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we have not been able to visit this land and its people as often as we would’ve liked over the past two years. But now we have a great opportunity and are asking for your fervent prayers. We have permission to hold a Medical Outreach from November 7 through 11 in Zimbabwe. It will be on a smaller scale than the large ones we typically hold, but we know, by God’s grace, it will hugely impact the people of a rural region in southwestern Zimbabwe. We first visite...

God is always faithful. I can say that with faith and confidence — even after the adversities we’ve faced these last 18 months. As you know, the pandemic created many challenges for our ministry over this past year and a half — especially in Africa. But COVID-19 doesn’t stop our God! During this time, He has opened up new opportunities to meet needs, offer encouragement and share the Good News with Jewish communities. A recent trip to Zimbabwe is a perfect example of this. We typically hol...

“The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 (NIV) Shalom, my friend. As I write to you today, my attention is turned towards the words of the Psalmist who acknowledges the reality of God strengthening His people — and blessing them with peace. There’s an underlying tension in the above verse. We will face circumstances that will require a supernatural measure of strength to endure and overcome. But in the midst of it all we’ll experi...
