Opposition might be great, but our God is always greater!

As we continue to send out our outreach teams daily, we are also getting back some encouraging reports. Recently, one of our leaders was stopped by the police while distributing in mail boxes fliers to order free gospel literature. An officer who stopped him was religious and was visibly outraged and angry when he saw the nature of those fliers.

He called for backup assuming V. had broken the law.

When back up arrived, this officer was actually informed by the other officers that there’s nothing they can do because mission work is completely legal in Israel. The religious officer was visibly upset that he couldn’t do anything to stop it V.’s work. So they all got in their cars to drive off, when one of the officers, of an Ethiopian background, turned around when everybody was out of earshot and told V. “Well done! I’m glad you’re doing this.”

What an exciting moment it was to learn that despite the continuous opposition, God still has surprises in store and we discover that very likely this particular Ethiopian officer was a believer himself.

The Lord himself said in Acts 18:10,

“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” God is definitely working behind the scenes in a powerful way we can’t sometimes imagine.

Remember the God Who Still Speaks

As we prepare here in Israel to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, I have been thinking about a sound that has echoed through the story of our people for thousands of years: the sound of the shofar.

All Things Are Possible

Sometimes we face situations where we simply do not see a way forward. We have prayed, we have waited, and maybe we have done everything we know to do, but nothing seems to change. After some time, we can begin to think, “Maybe this is impossible.” The Bible is full of people who found themselves […]

A Call to Draw Near:
Strengthening a New Generation of Believers in Israel

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him.” Mark 3:13 There are seasons when the voice of God can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life. Responsibilities, decisions, relationships, work, questions about the future—especially for young adults, life can pull the heart […]

When a Heart Begins to Open

Sometimes the most important thing happening in a room is something no one can see. A woman may sit quietly, listen without saying much, and give little indication that anything has changed. Yet a seed has been planted. The Word of God has reached somewhere beneath the surface. And sometimes it is only later that […]

A Message from Joppa, Israel

There are seasons when life feels settled. Perhaps you have prayed for something, watched God answer, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for that place. But today, standing in Joppa—the biblical city known today as Jaffa, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast—I am reminded of something powerful: sometimes […]
