"Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing?? The kings of the Earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed,(meshicho ) saying: "Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us." Ps. 2:1-3

This month our eyes are set upon the Lord for His intervention in the UN counsel. The issue concerning the resolution of the declaration of "a Palestinian state" is due by the end of September. Pray that the majority of the nations will be wise enough not vote to divide the Land of Israel and not allow giving it to those who still have not yet recognized Israel's right to existence, siding with violent terrorists activities. We are becoming aware also of the changing situation in the Middle East, watching the rising coalition of Gog and Magog coming to place with the rising threats of Turkey and Iran.

In the meantime, our God is still actively working in saving and blessing His people. This summer has been a fruitful one. We want to thank all those who helped us sponsor the children & youth summer camps, especially the orphans and needy ones. The Lord continues to water the seeds planted in these young lives through the summer camps.

Baby Oz-Yah is with the Lord.

Many of you prayed for Oz-Yah, knowing about his heart condition when he was still in his mother's womb. As soon as he was born on August 24th, he was separated from his mother and moved to another hospital, to receive treatment and surgery in order to solve his fragile heart situation (he had only one valve to his heart). We are sad to say that at the age of 15 days (August 31st), baby Oz-Yah passed away.

During the 9 months in his mother's womb and 15 days here on earth, he touched so many lives and drew so many people to prayer and compassion.

The presence of God was felt strongly during the funeral, the words expressed, the songs sang were all a very powerful testimony to the non believing family and friends gathered.

We are all sad that we won't see Oz-Yah grow, but our sadness is also filled with the peace knowing that he is now with the Lord and comforting his parents.

Please continue to pray for his parents, Moriel and Nitsan and his 4 year old sister Bat-El.

Hani - a wonderful story of redemption

The fruits of the kingdom sometimes take a long time to be seen. Twenty two years ago Hani (not her real name), a divorced and battered mother of three small children left Israel and disappeared from sight. Last year, through some amazing events, she came back, still very wounded and broken and far away from the Lord. Back in Israel and in relationship with us, she slowly came back to the Lord, learned to forgive and release the wounds of her past. She received deliverance and healing and has become a brand new person. Now, as she goes back to her country of origin we ask the Lord to help her walk into this newness of life and healing.

Maxim – a wonderful story of faithfulness.

It is such a blessing to see young teenagers on fire for the Lord. Maxim was baptized in water two weeks ago. He patiently waited for his 18th birthday to do it.

His mother, a strong believer in Yeshua, gave a moving testimony: "I came to the congregation as a new immigrant, a single mother with my two and a half years old son. God has done so much in our lives.

To see Maxim becoming a man of God, desiring to follow in the footsteps of Yeshua is such an encouragement to all dysfunctional families. God is still in the business of redeeming and saving. Today, Max is involved in leading worship and witnessing to young people around him, giving glory to the name of Yeshua".

Please join us in prayer for:

- The Middle East is going through deep changes. Pray that many Arab people will turn to the true God of Love, the creator, God of Israel and that the gospel will be proclaimed freely.

- Against violence and shedding of blood through the planned demonstrations in Israel and its neighbors after the 20th of this month, that could escalate in another wave of terrorism.

- For the soldiers in our midst, the teens and pre-teens, for their protection, fruitfulness and active service in the congregation. Pray for the new worship team being developed.

Pray for the covering of all expenses, furniture and heaters.

- For the breakthroughs in the life of depressed and bound people.
