Wishing each of you God's blessings for 2019!
We wanted to send a short note before we end 2018 thanking each of you for upholding us and our ministry in prayer this past year. We realize, as we end 2018, how important our supporters and prayer partners have been to us.
We truly appreciate you all who have participated in our ministry. It was an extra special blessing to see those who were able to come out and visit us here in the Land. We also received notes of kindness and encouragement from many of you which seemed to come at just the right time to keep us going. We especially thank the Lord for each and everyone of our financial partners who sacrificially gave, making it possible for us to be here and bring the gospel of our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the Jewish people.
This year has been one of many blessings and God ordained challenges. We thank the Lord for allowing us to minister here in the Land of the Bible! Even though it is one of the most challenging areas to bring the gospel, we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is exactly where God wants us to be.
Our ministry continues to expand with many areas we had no idea the Lord would use us in. We are looking forward to 2019 with hopeful expectations in all areas of our ministry. We realize there will be challenges and yet we know our God is in control of all things as we continue to learn how to trust Him more each day.
We felt it important to let each of you know how significant you are to our ministry and to share some important prayer requests as we close out 2018.
- Please continue to pray for Beth's sister Dawn who is fighting cancer. She will be having surgery today (Thursday December 27).
- Pray for our family, especially for David & Abigail who serve in the IDF that the Lord will protect them and use them in the giving of the gospel. For Mark & Levi that they too will continue to grow and be used of the Lord. For our adult children back in America that God will keep them safe and strong in the faith. For me and Beth, that we will not grow weary in ministry but rather continue to be strengthened in faith and service to our Savior.
- Pray for our congregation that it would grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord & Savior Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.
- Pray for the salvation of souls and for first fruits among the Jewish people who will be able to speak to their brethren about the blessedness of knowing their Messiah who has been hidden from their eyes these past 2000 years.
- Pray for peace as things continue to get more intense with the political situation here in Israel and the rest of the Middle East. Please keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the return of our Savior -- Sha’alu Shalom Yerushalim Psalm 122:6
Blessings in Messiah,
Scott, Beth, Abigail, David, Mark, Levi
