I am happy and thankful to God for providing two more great events to be added to my schedule.
Details to follow...but i will be leading Praise in Charlotte, NC on March 28....also in the UK in early May.
It is terrific to get the opportunity to share Messianic - Jewish music with more people in more new places!

Pray for Israel
I was fortunate to be able to attend the pro Israel rally here in Atlanta last week. Hundreds of Jews and Christians came out to an Orthodox synagogue to join together in support.
It was uplifting and informative!
Other rallys are planned.
We at Beth Hallel had a prayer session as part of our men's breakfast program. 50 or more men left the breakfast to move over to the synagogue to pray individually and corporately for this situation and for the IDF, the civilians in nearby towns, and for the salvation of the non-believing arabs.
No matter how many rockets the terrorists shoot into the Land when unprovoked, they will not be condemned by the world and it's UN.
Israel responds after years of tolerating this abuse, and the world comes out against her.
So what else is new? The Israelis will never been seen by the world as being correct. Even when they call thousands of Gaza residents to warn them of coming attacks, to let them know that being near a Hamas rocket storage site is a bad idea, and so on.
We all should pray often and loudly to our God for His solution to come to the crisis there.

A joyous Chanukah party was held at Beth Hallel last night, the 7th night of this Festival.
Children and adults were singing and dancing, the Rabbi and Rebetsen giving out "gelt" to the kids, and of course terrific food including many traditional dishes- latkes, kugel, falafel, hummus and more.
My evening was made even better by a visit from a lovely couple I met in Jerusalem, who are in our area to visit relatives. They are Messianic Jews, originally from the UK who have ahealing ministry in Jerusalem. We had a great reunion and they enjoyed seeing our Synagogue and the mischpucha there having so much fun.
I also had the pleasure of playing music with my own children on guitar & clarinet and drums, as well as some other talented additions to the group.
Happy Chaukah, and a Joyous New Year to all.

ARIEL KEREN OR
While in Jerusalem I met a wonderful man who travels throughout the world teaching the Jewish Roots of Christianity to the churches, and the need to support Israel. I hope that I will be able to join up with him at some point to add some praise music to his teaching ministry events.
Here is a link to his testimony and story.

Israel in 1951
A friend sent me the link to a great old film, now available for watching on the internet. An Air France promotional about Israel in 1951, it is a terrific piece of history and fascinating to watch.
Bear in mind that Israel was only three years old at that time. Imagine how much effort was being put out to make the desert bloom and water flow.

Support for Israel
Christian Praise Center in Canton, GA had a support Israel night last Sunday. We provided Praise and Worship music and listened to Jan Willem deliver a fiery message on support for Israel by America.
Americans are blind to the predicament of the Israelis for the most part. Pres. Bush encouraged Israel to give "back" land to the Palestinians that should never have been abandoned. What did Israel achieve by doing this? Nothing but allowing terrorists to get a bigger piece of the pie while they shoot rockets into the Israeli cities.
Many want Israel to give up more land. We can pray that Bebe Netanyahoo will again be elected as he will not allow that to happen. The Christians of the world need to unite behind God's homeland, the apple of His eye and His Jewish people! We are all ECHAD in Yeshua!

Ministry dinner with Jan Willem
Lillie Rose Ministries hosted a wonderful dinner at the home of Rev. Porter.
The dinner was to honor Jan Willem Vander Hoeven of ICZC who is here in the US to speak at a number of congregations, and to surprise his son and daughter in law with a vist.
He spoke at the dinner regarding the possible future lack of support or "falling away" of America for Israel, leaving that little nation adrift in the midst of a firestorm.
He prays that many of the 80-100 million bible believing Christians around the world will step in to support Israel, and defend the taking away of her land in exchange for false peace.
Lands previously given "back" are host to terrorism which is too close to be tolerated.
His goal is to help this along by training up warriors who are also worshippers. Sounds like King David!
I had the honor of providing praise and worshp music for the many guests representing many ministries.
It was a great evening albeit one that often brought a tear to the eyes of those in attendance.
Also the wonderfully sweet violin of Paul Johnian added to the worshipful atmosphere.
We heard the plans for next year's October 2009 Feast of Tabernacles, which will be an awesome one. Check Jan Willem's web site for information on this great event, and his ideas for a march from end to end in the land.
