Jim Clint family in Northern Ireland
Another BIG Announcement from Love For His People!
Northern Ireland - The James Clint Family Update!
Last week we had the nice excitement about our readers/supporters getting a weekly message from Hadassah in Jerusalem (Hadassah's Message).
This week we received our first report, in this format, from Jim Clint, now back to their home base in Northern Ireland, after a few years helping Jews in Hungary make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel. Love For His People has been sending monthly support for a year now.
We are committed to continuing our $50 monthly support for them, and want to help even more. Jim will keep us all posted on a monthly basis.
We love you Lord and what Your people are doing to help the Chosen Ones get back to their Promised Land! Thanks Jim and family.
With our ongoing and committed love,

JAMES CLINT FAMILY UPDATE
On June 2nd 2017 we returned to Northern Ireland after four years serving the Lord in Hungary. Our service in Hungary was focused in helping needy Hungarian Jews make Aliyah to Israel.
Here in Northern Ireland we'll continue raising support for needy Jewish people from Eastern Europe.
Sadly antisemitism is rising again in Europe and across the world. As never before we feel the urgency to highlight the need for western Churches to support Jewish Aliyah.
Keep us in prayer as we endeavor to encourage believers to stand with Israel and the Jewish people.
As believers face difficulties for standing on God's word we can be sure of one thing, He will never leave or forsake us.
Blessings in Yeshua.

History of Hungary |
Hungary portal |
Jews have a long history in the country now known as Hungary, with some records even predating the 895 AD Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin by over 600 years. Written sources prove that Jewish communities lived in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary and it is even assumed that several sections of the heterogeneous Hungarian tribes practiced Jewish religion. Jewish officials served the king during the reign of Andrew II. From the second part of the 13th century the general religious tolerance decreased and Hungary's policies became similar to the treatment of the Jewish population in Western Europe.
The Jews of Hungary were fairly well integrated into Hungarian society by the time of the First World War. By the early 20th century, the community had grown to constitute 5% of Hungary's total population and 23% of the population of the capital, Budapest. Jews became prominent in science, the arts and business.
Anti-Jewish policies grew more repressive in the interwar period as Hungary's leaders, who remained committed to regaining the lost territories of "Greater Hungary", chose to align themselves (albeit warily) with the governments of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy – the international actors most likely to stand behind Hungary's claims.[6]Starting in 1938, Hungary under Miklós Horthy passed a series of anti-Jewish measures in emulation of Germany's Nürnberg Laws. The vast majority of Jews who were deported were massacred in Kameniec-Podolsk (Kamianets-Podilskyi). In the massacres of Újvidék (Novi Sad) and villages nearby, 2,550–2,850 Serbs, 700–1,250 Jews and 60–130 others were murdered by the Hungarian Army and "Csendőrség" (Gendarmerie) in January 1942. A Jew living in the Hungarian countryside in March 1944 had a less than 10% chance of surviving the following 12 months.[citation needed] In Budapest, a Jew's chance of survival of the same 12 months was about 50%. Jews from the Hungarian provinces outside Budapest and its suburbs were rounded up. The first transports to Auschwitz began in early May 1944 and continued even as Soviet troops approached. During the last years of World War II, they suffered severely, with over 600,000 being killed (within Hungary's 1943 borders) between 1941 and 1945, mainly through deportation to Nazi German-run extermination camps.
The 2011 Hungary census data had 10,965 people (0.11%) who self-identified religious Jews, of whom 10,553 (96.2%) declared themselves as ethnic Hungarian.[5] Other media sources estimate an Hungarian population with Jewish ethnicity of around 48,200 (no methodology or data collection method is given for the estimate) [7] mostly concentrated in Budapest,.[8] The intermarriage rates for Hungarian Jews is around 60%.[citation needed] There are many active synagogues in Hungary, including the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe and the second largest synagogue in the world after the Temple Emanu-El in New York City.[9
