Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus:
National Day of Repentance is blessed and honored to be able monthly--- thanks to you donors--- to donate to two Messianic congregations in Israel. One is Tiferet Yeshua, a Messianic community in Tel Aviv, headed by Moti Cohen.
Here is Moti's current report of Divine Protection: "Serving the Homeless between Missile Attacks:"
One of the special things I have been discovering in the army reserves serving with the same men for years is that many of them have come to know well what I believe and about the ministry we do for homeless drug addicts in south Tel Aviv.
The week after the war broke out, our unit received a large number of quality sandwiches that we did not have a need for. Instead of letting them be thrown away, some of the men I serve with took it upon themselves to make sure the sandwiches were put aside so that “Feed Tel Aviv” would have something to serve the homeless at the outreach that evening (they know I am the one who oversees food preparation and cooks the majority of the food).
I let the volunteers know that we had food to serve at the outreach, and Shulamit and one of our other volunteers came to our unit to pick up the sandwiches which they served the homeless that evening.
IN WAR HOMELESS ARE ON THEIR OWN
In times of war emergency, the homeless just stay on the streets when the missiles come. There are public bomb shelters in the area, but they quickly become a horrible mess once they’re opened up, so most don’t go near them. During times of war emergency when only non-essential personnel are allowed to leave their homes, it is especially hard for those struggling with addiction to find food as most places are closed, so the support we brought was absolutely vital.

SERVING ON THE STREETS UNDER THREAT OF MISSILE ATTACKS
Like in the 12-day war with Iran in June, much of the missile fire has been focused on the Tel Aviv area, Israel’s main population center, meaning that Tel Aviv area residents have been running often to their bomb shelters. Last Thursday when the volunteers were about to head out to the streets, they did so prayerfully, asking God for grace and protection from missile attacks.
Olga, one of our volunteers who went out to the streets last Thursday, shared that people were amazed to see them and were deeply touched that our volunteers were there on the streets with them even in this dangerous situation. Olga said that it was a very special time of ministry and that many opened their hearts to receive prayer and encouragement.

DIVINE PROTECTION
God was so good to our volunteer team! There was not one siren during the time they were on the streets, and, as Olga shared, “We felt so much peace and grace while we were out serving on the streets. And the moment I arrived home safe and sound, there was a bomb siren, and I could go straight into our bomb shelter.”
Hallelujah!
Please remember all the homeless on the streets in Tel Aviv who have no proper place to shelter when there are missile attacks and who are having to get by without most public places closed. Please pray for salvation and a new life for all the people we have the opportunity to serve and minister to on the streets.

As you pray and you have the heart, and you're able to donate to this key ministry in Tel Aviv, please note that with your donation to NDR, and NDR will send all those proceeds to Tiferet Yeshua, headed by Moti Cohen.
