I returned from the Mission Field in Romania and Israel about a month
ago, after spending 9 weeks with our workers on the field. It was
great to be able to be with them after more than a year of absence.
It was the first time in the history of 20 years of “Jesus of
Israel” Ministry that I was not able to travel overseas for such a
long time. I hope I have recovered well enough to be able to travel
again. By the end of my ministry there after about 9 weeks, I started
having some pain in the abdominal area. All of these have ended now.
Those were 9 weeks of summer without air-conditioning, with
temperatures most of the times over 100 degrees F, but by His Grace I
survived it.</p>

Biblically speaking, by the time you receive this letter we will be
in the month of ELUL. When we look in the Scriptures this seems to be
a month without much importance. Still this is a month of preparation
for the days to come. It is a month of Repentance, before the month
of TISHRI the month of the fall feasts, (the Feast of Trumpets, the
Feast of the day of Atonement, and the Feast of the Tabernacles). By
the way, Repentance and Acknowledgment of our sins, is exactly what
the LORD is looking for, that we may receive HIS Grace of
Propitiation for Salvation.</p>

It was by the end of June this year when the Jewish people of the
city of Iasi (North East of Romania) remembered 70 years since one of
the greatest massacres that ever happened on Romanian land, when in a
few days over 14,000 (fourteen thousand) Jewish people were killed,
just because they were Jewish. At this Anniversary came people from
all over the world, many Jewish people, especially from Israel, but
also from USA, Germany, etc. It was a chance of a life time for the
Evangelicals to be a true witness to the Jewish people and they were
indeed!</p>

SONday June the 26<sup>th</sup> I had the chance to speak in one of
the Evangelical Churches of Iasi. The Church Body was ready for
repentance of the sins of their fathers and forefathers. As I was
preparing to preach, in the auditorium entered a tall elderly Jewish
man, who was looking to meet with me and a group of people I was
with. The 88 year old man was one of only four survivors who are
still alive from that massacre. As I was preaching I asked him to
come to the platform where the pulpit was, and then I told the body
of believers: <b>“Now is the time to Repent, to ask forgiveness for
the sins of our fathers or forefathers”</b>, and to Mr.
Finkelstein's surprise, as much as mine, one by one each and every
member of that church (about 300 of them) came down, asking
forgiveness and embracing Mr. Finkelstein. <u><b>For the old Jewish
man this meant much more than any one of us can imagine</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>.</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
That SONday night all Jewish people from the Jewish Community Center
heard what happened in the Filocalia Church from Iasi. Most of them
couldn't believe that something like that really happened. It was
then that Mr. Finkelstein pointed to me and told them: “That
Israeli Doctor was the speaker in the Church this SONday morning.”</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">In the following days, as the
ceremonies took place in different parts of that county, we traveled
to those mass graves where Jewish people were buried, two or three
thousand in each of them. Again the Evangelicals had a chance to
witness to their Jewish friends </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>and
they did so again,</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
when hundreds of them took part in the march and the ceremonies. Most
of them having a Star of David on their chest, in which was written
the words: “We love the Jewish people”. It was a great surprise
for most of the Jewish people that for the ceremonies, and I may say
that was a great beginning of repentance for their nation what those
evangelicals from Iasi have done.</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>Now it is our time to stand
for Israel.</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;"> Soon at
the Untied Nations they will ask for the vote for a new Palestinian
State in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. That land belongs to the people of
Israel, by God's design. Please let your voices be known, let your
Congressmen or Senators, or even the President know what side are you
for. It is the first time I take sides, and this is just because I am
on God's side. I know the Palestinian people need a land, but if they
don't want to live in Israel side by side with the Jewish people,
there is enough Arab land all around. It is interesting that land of
Israel is probably less than 1% of all Arab land all around, but they
want that 1% of land not to belong to the Jewish people. This is the
Devilish fight from the beginning, when the Evil One is fighting
against God's plan of Salvation for all mankind. Israel needs your
prayers. Israel needs your support, and Missions working to bring the
Good News to Israel needs you now more than ever, and when I say
that, I do not mean “Jesus of Israel” only. I mean the Jewish
people need to hear about the Jewish Saviour, Yeshua, Jesus the
Messiah. We do need your help. August 2011 was the worst financial
month in the history of our ministry. We have received approximately
only 25% of the monthly income we need to be able to do the job.</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">Another great request, </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>please
pray for my elderly mother</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
too. She is 86 years old and lately she cannot eat, but drink only.
She is very sick; she barely sees and in the last few years suffers
from Alzheimer disease. Still she is very quiet and extremely good.
Pray that if now is the time for her to pass, to be with the Lord,
that this will be easier on her and without any other complications.
Pray for my youngest brother from Jerusalem who is coming to be with
our mother. Thanks for your understanding and your prayers.</span></p>

Marie and I met Dr. Theo Ben Abraham Smilovici and his wife Nora
in1998 when we started leading Congregation Beth Chesed of Tacoma.
Dr. Ben was so impressed at how Marie led the prayer time for Israel,
that later that year when he started a new Messianic Jewish
Congregation in Bucharest, Romania, he named it after us -
Congregation Beth Chesed! Next year he had me come with him to
Romania to minister in our daughter congregation!</span></span></p>
