Love For His People Annual Board Meeting Feb.09, 2019
Feb. 10, 2019
Love For His People had our annual board meeting on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019, in the home of founders Steve and Laurie Martin in the Charlotte, NC area. Fifteen of the 17 board members, from as far away as Charleston, SC. were able to attend.
The makeup of the board's personnel includes members of seven different North and South Carolina area churches, Jews and Gentiles, young and "old", male and female, married and single. Several who have been on the board for 5 of the first 8 years of the ministry's existence were given a special gift as a blessing with thanks - a very nice coffee mug with the Star of David in "gold" on the front. (Another way to bless Israel - buy gifts from Holy Land Gifts out of Tel Aviv and support Israeli businesses through Lev Olam, delivered straight to your door!)

We had a good time of worship, blessing the Lord Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach), shared an "Israeli style" meal together, and spoke of the Lord's work being done through Love For His People, as we primarily support our Messianic Jewish friends, humanitarian and news organizations in the land of Israel. The meeting lasted three hours.
Here is the report I shared with the director members (also public knowledge) in our gathering: Love For His People Annual Ministry and Financial Report.
We give thanks that the Lord has made these connections with our friends, both here and there, and how He is strengthening and increasing our love for His people in the Land.
Ahava and shalom,

P.S. And two of the board couples had their "lot" drawn and received beautiful blankets purchased from our wholesaler who lives in Tel Aviv, Israel, as gifts. It amazes me how the Lord blessed them. Each had spoken earlier of how they would use the blanket if so blessed - one in their new home and the other on how the verse on one blanket was their favorite. And they each got the one they desired!)
