“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves in tender compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
Colossians 3:12 (TLV)

Already we are in a new month of this new year. While we hold out hope for change, we still face many of the same challenges and ongoing tensions.

I’m writing to ask for your help in reaching members of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” and other

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (NIV)

I’m sharing with you the powerful words of the Shema from Deuteronomy. These verses are a declaration of faith for the Jewish people and also for those of us who embrace Jesus as the Messiah. I pray that they encourage and strengthen you today!

“LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me, ‘God will not deliver him.’
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory,
the One who lifts my head high.”
(Psalm 3:1-3 NIV)

The new year is upon us! After all we have experienced in 2020, I imagine you might feel like me – thankful for a fresh start.
