Love For His People - moving forward into our 9th year with you. For them.


Jan. 7, 2019

Dear friends of Love For His People,

Over eight years ago on June 30, 2010, I had left the third ministry I had worked for in the past 24 years (Vision for Israel with Barry and Batya Segal, after 14 years at Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and eight years total at Derek Prince Ministries (Ft. Lauderdale and Charlotte), finishing with the last five at VFI. 

The providential reason in departing my service at VFI was to start a new ministry, co-founded by my good wife Laurie and I. We called it Love For His People (officially formed in April 2010 with our USA non-profit, 501(c)3 approval) - primarily to bless the Jews of Israel, and specifically the believers within the nation - those who have come to acknowledge that Yeshua is the Messiah, HaMashiach.

As non-Jews, Gentiles, goyim, Christian Zionists (whatever label we have!), we began the organization/ministry to stand strong for the Jewish state of Israel, Yisrael - the Land of Israel. In this world, with nations continually becoming more anti-Semitic daily, we have been called, as the prophetic word in 2004 was spoken over us, as a "scepter for Israel."

  
Our heart's desire is to do our part in speaking up for those who, for centuries, experienced nothing more than "hate" in the "name of Christ", from so-called Christians. That included Adolf Hitler himself, who used Martin Luther's last completely inerrant days, of non-Scriptural theology, to espouse Replacement Theology. This totally wrong belief is that the "Christian church" has replaced Israel as the one receiving the promises of the God of Israel. Today, it continues to be totally inaccurate, both historically and spiritually.

The Jews had been given, and on many occasions even bought, the land of Israel they have now returned too. That includes all of Jerusalem.

Israel, of course, continues to be the main objective in our support, but we also stand with those others who join alongside us in helping Jews make aliyah (return to Israel), speak out for the nation, and appreciate their Jewish roots as believers in Jesus (Yeshua).


On an annual budget of $30,000 (see financial reports below), through the provision of the Lord, we continue to spread His love (ahava) and peace (shalom). We ask you to join us in our continuing efforts, as you see what is being done, through these efforts following.


SUPPORTING FAMILIES & MINISTRIES

This ministry, with no staff or paid contractors, sends monthly funds to families in Jerusalem. For some of these, it has been for over eight years now. Consistently. Each month.

In Nigeria, we support the pastoral work of Abel Oyewale and his wife Margaret. In 2018 we were able to send Bibles, our published books, a Canon SureShot camera, and a Dell computer for their church and ministry use.

In the UK, in Northern Ireland, we have stood with the James Clint family, sending monthly contributions for almost two years to them, to assist their work in helping Hungarian Jews make aliyah (immigrating) to their homeland in Israel.

Our pastor friend John Ebenezer in Mucherla, Andhra Pradesh, India continues to receive the contributions given through this ministry. For the past 8 years, we have supported his exceptional labors of love. He has one of the most amazing apostolic ministries I have personally witnessed myself in India, as he raises up new believers, pastors, and builds church structures among the high-density Hindu and Muslim population.

Book Publications
- since 2013

When Steve came back from his annual trip to Israel in October 2010, the Lord gave him the directive to write and publish love letters. These messages were then followed by books containing these chapters.

In 2013, the 1st book published for ministry outreach, encouragement and inspiration came off the press, entitled The Promise. It was quickly followed by Ahava Love Letters. Others that followed gave testimony and strong support for Israel. All can be purchased through the ministry office, or on Amazon, in paperback and Kindle version.
