The shocking state of abortion in Israel - Please pray! - ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM! With playgrounds and parks on every street corner, Israel is one of the most family-centric countries in the world. And it's not just the ultra-Orthodox increasing our birth rate, we also have the highest birth rate in the world of those identifying as secular. This has stumped many demographers, as typically most "developed" nations have very low fertility rates. I wish the story could end just there. But despite the amazing focus on families, Israel is one of the most liberal countries in the world when it comes to abortion! Just like the bill that was passed in New York, abortion in Israel is legal until birth! Therefore, one of our ministry outreaches is training pro-life counselors and counseling at-risk mothers. Abortion is a global fight. As you pray for the unborn, please pray for us and our friends and partners as we fight for life! Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL  The shocking state of abortion in Israel - Please pray! Ezekiel's dry bones prophecy about Israel 's restoration? As in Ezekiel’s vision, the physical resurrection precedes the spiritual. Israel may be reestablished, the dry bones of the post-Holocaust people may have been restored, but the second stage of spiritual revival is not yet done. Continue reading... How To Cope With Turbulence And Uncertainty, According To An Israeli Soldier Uncertainty, instability, insecurity… whichever word you choose, a lack of clarity is difficult for every human being to deal with. But just as the IDF drills soldiers by plunging them into the unknown, so God trains us to walk with him, asking us to trust him without knowing the details. Continue reading... FOLLOW US  ‌  ‌  ‌

Hanukkah miracles - ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM! This week we are celebrating the eight-day festival of Hanukkah. It's a special time of lighting candles, telling stories of miracles in the temple, and Jewish heroes of old. There are also chocolate coins, spinning tops, and donuts! As a child, it's unlikely Jesus had the same Hanukkah experience as Jewish children today, but we know that He did celebrate Hanukkah, also known as the Feast of Dedication. "At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple..." (John 10:22) Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL  "A GREAT MIRACLE HAPPENED HERE!" What was the great miracle? The story told is that in 165 BC, the Jewish Maccabees rose up against the Greeks who had banned all Jewish practice, defiled the temple, and even put their own idols in it. When the Maccabees finally reclaimed (rededicated) the temple, there was only a day's supply of lamp oil for the temple menorah, but it supernaturally lasted for 8 days! I heard someone say it's like having your phone battery down to 10%, but it somehow keeps going for 8 days! In Jewish communities around the world today, the oil miracle is celebrated with lots of oily food like donuts (sufganiot) and fried potato latkes, and children play games with a spinning top (called a dreidel) with the first letters of the words “A great miracle happened there” on each side: נ-ג-ה-ש (Ness Gadol Hiya Sham). In Israel, however, the dreidel’s letters spell נ-ג-ה-פ (Ness Gadol Hiya Po) “A great miracle happened HERE”. There are many great themes in the Feast of Dedication for those who love Yeshua. Continue reading... Do You Need A Miracle? Whether it was Moses with his staff or the little boy with a picnic lunch of five loaves and two fish, somehow God likes to start with the little that we’ve got in our hands; practically, materially, emotionally, and spiritually. He wants us to join in with the miracle-making, to work with him, and to contribute to the process. It would require great faith to sacrifice the only thing she had left in her house – a single jar of oil – along with some physical action (not to mention a degree of humility) to go and ask around for all those jars.  “Go borrow for yourself vessels from all your neighbors—empty jars—not just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and behind your sons, and pour into all those vessels, setting aside what is full.” Elisha’s instructions contain one sentence that seems a little strange. “Go inside and shut the door behind you and behind your sons.” Why?

When we say Jesus is Pro-Life, we mean... ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM! When we proclaim that Jesus is Pro-Life, there is so much to that statement. He wants us to enjoy eternal life with Him, and life in all its fullness here on earth. His desire that we should be redeemed from death was so strong that He paid the death penalty for us Himself. In response, we want to give our lives to serve Him: holding out the Good News of eternal life, and seeking to practically help those in need. In particular, we focus on providing aid for Holocaust survivors, and families in need of support after choosing to keep their babies. Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL  As my friend Lawrence Hirsch shares in his powerful story below, there can be significant challenges for families who bravely choose life in difficult circumstances. But no matter what hardships we are facing, God's abundant life and grace is available to us right here, today! "Life doesn't go the way we think but God uses it all in a very profound way."

In reality, God needs no helpers, but he loves us to work together with him in relationship. It’s how he likes to do things. And it would have been them who would have missed out. Continue reading...
