“일어나라. 빛을 발하라. 이는 네 빛이 이르렀고 여호와의 영광이 네위에 임하였음이니라.보라 어둠이 이땅을 덮을 것이며 캄캄함이 만민을 가리우려니와, 오직 여호와께서 네위에 임하실 것이며 그영광이 네 위에 나타나리니, 열방은 네 빛으로, 열왕은 비취는 네 광명으로 나오리라.” (이사야 60:1-3)
친애하는 가족과 친구여러분, Kfar-Saba 에서 평안하시길 인사드립니다.
폭력과 사회에 따라 오는 어둡고 불확실한 현실속에서도 우리의 도움은 항상 주님으로부테 오는것을 알고 이 계절을 맞아 또 기억하며.”말씀이 육신이 되어 우리 가운데 함께 거 하시며”(요한1:14) 우리의 위대하신 창조주께서 우리를 어둠의 나라에서 구원하시고 그의 빛의 왕국으로 인도 하심을 감사드립니다.
2000년전, 예루살렘 성전에서 시므온이름하는 나이든 유대인, 어린남자아이때 부모가 눈과감사의 기도을 드리렸던,” 주님, 이제는 말씀하신 대로 종을 평안히 놓아주시는도다. 내눈이 주의 구원을 보았사오니, 이는 만민 앞에 예비하신 것이요. 이방을 비추는 빛이요 주의 백성 이스라엘의 영광이니이다”(누가 2:29-32)
이 아이의 이름을 예수(Jesus) 또는 여수아(Yeshua)(히브리어로 ‘구원자’라는 뜻 –마태 1:21)
유대인의 왕 세상의 빛이신 구세주, 나사렛 예수 밖에는 이스라엘 백성에게도 이방인 국가에도 없습니다. “
“ 흑암에 행하던 백성이 큰 빛을 보고 사망의 그늘진 땅에 거하던 자에게 빛이 비추도다….. … 이는 한 아이가 우리에게 났고, 한아들을 우리에게 주신 바 되었는데 그어깨에는 정사을 메었고, 그이름은 기묘자라, 전능하신 하나님이라, 평강의 왕이라 할것임이라. ,그 정사가 평강의 더함이 무궁하며 또 다웟의 위에 앉아서 그 나라를 굳게 세우고 이제부테 영원토록공평과 정의로 그것을 보존하실 것이라.(이사야9:1-7)
우리는우리앞에 열려있는 문을 우리의 구세주의 이름으로 올려드리고 여기에 이스라엘의 메시아 신자의 지역 모임으로 앞으로도 계속 이동시킬 것입니다. 그의 은혜는 우리에게 충만하고 우리는 공동체로서 우리에게 끊임없는 사랑과 보호하심의 증인들 입니다.
(A time to die, a time to be born) 죽을때가있고, 태어날때가 잇으니(전도서 3:1)
슬픔과 함께 알려드립니다. 라피(Rafi)의 아버님이74세의 나이로 질병으로 지남달 돌아가셨읍니다.그의 가족을 대신하여 중보 기도자들께 감사드립니다. 라피의 아버님이 병원에 계시는 동안 그의 어머님은 정기적으로 안식일 회의에 참석하기 시작했읍니다.
또한, 우리는 건강한 두명의 아기소년의 탄생의 기쁨과 하나님이 초자연적인 방법으로 우리 성도을 추가 하심을 증거합니다.
(A blessed visit to the doctors) 의사을방문하여 축복함
지난해 9월 아들을 잃은 모리엘(Mriel)과 닡산(Nitsan)의 아이을 구하려고 자신의 관심과 노력대한외과의 의료진에게 감사하며, 그들이 아이을 잃었음에도 믿음과 치료을보고 의료진들을 감동시키고 놀라게 하였읍니다
(Wedding surprise) 놀라운 결혼식
유벤토스는 미국에서 이스라엘로 이사하여온 젊은 부부의 정식 결혼식주례을 이끌었읍니다. 프로 농구선수인 신랑이 자신의 팀 전체을 초대하여 많은 사람들이 인생에서 처음으로 복음을 들었다고 했읍니다. 하나님은 그의은혜로 우리을 놀라키시는 취미가 있으십니다.
(Can good things come from Iran??) 좋은 일들이 이란에서 일어날까요??
지난주 우리방문한 이란신자의 증언에 축복하였읍니다. 그는 몇 년전 조국을 떠나 독일에 와서 복음을 받아 예수님의 추종자가 되엇읍니다. 지금은 독일 시민으로서, 이스라엘에 대한 그 의 사랑을 증언하는 문화교류를 위하여 카파-싸바(Kfar-Saba)와 튜윈도시의 사람들을 만나기 위해 지역 사회 구성원과 함께 왓다고 합니다. 흥미롭게도 토니(Tony)eh 이란 교회의 성장 과정을 이탈리아 돌아온 증인에게 듣고 있었읍니다. 비슷한 증언은 네델란드와 영국에서도 받았읍니다. 지금은 예수 믿는 외부 또는국가 내부의 이란 인구의 10%에 가까운 통계뿐이지만, 이것이 바로 조용한 혁명 우리가 기도하고 있는것입니다!!!!!

September 2011 Prayer Newsletter
"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.
- For discerning the times we are in. God is testing Israel. He still wants to pour out His spirit upon His ancient people. For the UN resolution this month, that the purposes of God will be accomplished.
- 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.
- For Moriel and Nitsan and Bat-El who lost their new born son, for comfort and strength.
- For the new arrival of new babies this month with 3 other families expecting soon.
- For Rafi's father in hospital with tuberculosis and brain cancer, who needs healing and salvation.
- For the funds needed for renovations & rent of the children's rooms, as the number of children & youth grows and we need more space for this important ministry.
- For the home group ministry starting again this month, for the new ones being added with their hosts and leaders. (English, Hebrew and Russian)
- For the teaching classes for adults and the children. For a real thirst for the word of God.
- For all the unsaved visitors who come each Shabbat to our services, that they may receive a spirit of revelation and repentance and call upon the name of the Lord.
- For the two houses of refuge in the city and the families running them and their guests.
Pray for the covering of all expenses, furniture and heaters.
- For the breakthroughs in the life of depressed and bound people.
- For the raising of more servant leaders in our midst. For men to take their place of shepherds and priests in their homes and spheres of influence.
- For the financial provision for the widows and orphans in our midst, for school fees and material needs.
- For the team of the "prayer rooms" - for anointing and discernment, unity and stamina.
- Protection agaisnst bigotry and threats of violence and hatred and the lies spread by local newspapers judging wrongly our motives in helping the needy, the widows and orphans. Pray for the fear of the Lord to be manifested.
We praise God for the new intercessors team that meets now weekly. Join us in prayer during the season of Yom Kippur and the fasting before the Lord.
Wishing you a blessed Jewish new year (the feast of trumpets) preparing for the coming again of our Messiah in Glory. Maranatha.

Dear Praying Friends,
Greetings of shalom to each one of you.
'' Enlarge the place of your tents and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out. Hold not back, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left…" (Isaiah 54:2)
The Lord has been encouraging us through these verses to prepare ourselves for changes that would come this season. We now see more clearly the pieces of the "puzzle" coming together. With families moving to our area and breakthroughs in people's lives, the Lord has given us the opportunity to grow our space for ministry.
More worship space as the need grows
His provisions never cease! Fifteen years ago, our congregation had the opportunity to buy a building in the industrial section of Kfar Saba, centrally located for all of our members. At that time it was suitable for our needs, but we have joyfully watched as we have outgrown our current space.
For the past year, we have prayed for God to open doors to rent a bigger space, but it seemed that every door closed. The remainder of our building is now available for purchase which includes the bottom 2 floors as well as the basement! This would provide not only for our current needs, but our potential future needs.
It is an answer to prayer that only God can orchestrate!
As God has opened the door for us to acquire the remainder of the building, please pray that God would bless our endeavor, and that our financial needs will be met.
Would you prayerfully consider sowing into the Kingdom of God and join us in seeing the fruition of God’s answered prayers?
The CD we have all been waiting for.
The new album - 'Min Hamaayan' - 'From the Fountain'
by Lior Sperandeo & Jamie Hilsden, is now available. Two years in the making, it is a Messianic album of the highest quality.
This praise album contains original Hebrew songs for the young generation. {English translation is enclosed}. You can order it through our website. For a sample listening, click to this YouTube link : http://youtu.be/azm99VEg9pU
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
As every year, at the feast of Shavuot,after joining the national gathering of congregations in Yad ha Shmona, we "ascended" to the holy city of Jerusalem, to visit God's beloved city. We stood on the Mount of Olives, viewing its beauty and thinking of the day when Yeshua will put his feet back there. We continued on to the garden of Gethsemane, made our way to the Garden tomb and finished at the Western Wall, where we prayed for our nation.
Please join us in prayer for:
1) The purchase of the ground floor and basement of our worship building. We see the opportunity to double the size of our meeting space. Pray for the landlord’s favor and the raising of the money needed.
2) The new "house of refuge" as the 2 families are now ready to host it, pray for the needed finances to be released each month as well as the necessary funds for renovations needed before the families can move in.
3) The growing pre-teens class – for a leader and creation of the weekly youth club.
4) The new discipleship bible study course has taken off and growing with 18 students already. Pray for thirst and hunger for the word of God and faithfulness in attendance. The course is taught every Sunday evening with a different subject lead by a different teacher every month.
5) The children & youth during the summer holidays. This is very often a crucial time in their lives. For attendance in summer camps and a time to grow closer to the Lord.
If you wish to sponser a needy child (and fatherless) for summer camp, you can contact us.
6) The new worship team led by the teenagers of the congregation. They started this month. Pray for confidence and encouragement and the growing in their skills and gifting.
7) A special time of refreshment for the families traveling this summer to take their well earned vacation holidays. For rest and renewal in body, soul and spirit.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and encouragement to us.

친애 하는 기도 친구들
우리 모두 같은 믿음안에서 주님을 인정하는 연관성을 가지고 생활도 스키도 하며 우리는 함께 성장(믿음의 성장)하고 있었읍니다: 기복, 슬로프와 언덕, 떨어지기도 하지만, 항상 끌어주시는, 때로는 혼자 타고, 때로는 그룹 지도자, 다른 경험자들에게 배움으로 매일 매일 더 많은 자신감을 얻고 있었읍니다.
"나는 너희을 위하여 기도하기을 쉬는 죄을 여호와 앞에 결단코 범하지 아니하고 ".사무엘 상 12:23

For as the rain and the snow comes down from heaven, and returns not thither but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and make the thing where to I sent it prosper.
(Isaiah 55:11-12)

March 2010
As we just celebrated Passover, we were reminded again of God's miraculous deliverance of our forefathers from the bondage of Egypt. In those days, each Israelite family applied the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their home and the angel of death would pass over it sparing them from death. Today, we apply the blood of Yeshua our Messiah and sacrifice on the doorposts of our hearts, as He who became our Passover lamb (1 Cor 5: 6-7), delivered us from bondage to sin and from spiritual death.
