We just wanted to send a short update and a few specific prayer requests before leaving for a trip to the Philippines as many of you will be at prayer meeting tomorrow evening while I am traveling.
IBJM has many friends and supporting churches in the Philippines with over 450 congregations that pray for and support Israel and Jewish evangelism efforts around the world. It will be an honor to represent IBJM and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we gather together with congregations around the country. I will be meeting with Filipino Pastors and congregations for the specific purpose of praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem along with teaching on the importance of the gospel as presented to the Jewish people.
Please pray for me and my time with our Filipino Brethren that it may be a fruitful time of encouragement and blessing for all involved.
Also, please remember to continue to pray Beth, Abby, David, Mark and Levi as they will remain in Israel while I am gone. Please especially pray for Beth as she recently had a mammogram which found a small anomaly that will need a biopsy. The doctors have assured us they are not overly concerned but they would rather be safe and make sure all is okay.
Since returning home from the States in July Levi broke his arm and had to have emergency surgery to insert pins. The cast and the pins have since been removed but the healing process is going slow and we are hoping he will not need additional therapy. He and Mark both recently came down with stomach viruses but both have recovered although lost weight. When it rains it pours and yet God is still so good!
We, including Abby in the IDF and David at his new job, have had many opportunities for the gospel. Please pray for those that have heard and seen the gospel of our blessed Messiah that they would come to faith.
There is much more to report but we will leave that for our regular update after I return to Israel at the end of this month.
As always, please pray for the peace of Jerusalem --
Sha’alu Shalom Yerushalim Psalm 122:6
Blessings,
Scott, Beth, Abigail, David, Mark, Levi
