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

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.

Love For His People Ministry Update - "The Unexpected" - Steve Martin

Oct. 17, 2017 Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina. Fall season has finally come here to North Carolina. You can bet my good wife Laurie is grateful! Summer is not her favorite season, and we both appreciate the colors and cool days of autumn. Thank you Lord! This go around this letter is not the norm, as the regular features from Hadassah from Israel and Pastor Abel from Nigeria didn't make the schedule. The biblical feasts of the Lord certainly fill the days! But they will return next time. Moses Julius, our Love For His People - Pakistan Director, just completed their sewing class this year for the girls and women in Lahore. Now they will receive their very own sewing machine, which will help earn a living for their families. We congratulate them! Now that my accounting job retirement has only nine more working days left, I have the trip planned to meet Moses in Toronto the first week in November. We both are excited for this opportunity the Lord has opened the door for, as we will seek Him for future plans. Please read the Now Think On This message, see Moses' Pakistan update, and buy my latest book, Salvation - My Lord & My God! Each sale earns a $2.50 royalty for Love For His People. This is a good way to support the international work! We appreciate you. Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin Founder/President Love For His People, Inc.

Now Think On This Steve Martin

"The Unexpected" by Steve Martin “Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me.” (Psalm 23:4, Complete Jewish Bible) Fear suddenly comes upon you. Your stomach churns as if you had just been punched in the gut. Panic wants to overtake you. Your head spins, looking for a quick solution to get you out of the mess you just found yourself in. What in the world are you going to do? Where can I run? Who can I call? What do you do? You trust in the One whom you have trusted in thus far. You call on the Name of the Lord Jesus. When I woke up this morning I had just gotten a text message from a friend who is newlywed. (I keep my phone on silent when I go to bed. Smart thing to do. Derek Prince, the great Bible teacher whom I was honored to serve on his ministry staff for eight years, often said, “There are no emergencies in the kingdom of God.”) They got married in her country, went on a fantastic honeymoon in another country, but when they came back to cross over into his homeland to start their new life together, they were stopped at the border. The paperwork hadn’t been done as it was supposed to have been done. She couldn’t cross over.  They were then told it was going to take much legal paperwork, several months, and could cost thousands of dollars. Dollars they didn’t have. Bills they never dreamed of having to be paid on the road ahead. The unexpected had just happened. How many times have we faced challenges and circumstances when the impossible was facing us, and we didn’t know where to turn, who to call, or what to do next. We seemed frozen with fear, which itself wanted to keep us there. But that is when we need to stand on His Word – that He never leaves us, never forsakes us, never lets the enemy have the final victory. All of us have faced these situations. A traumatic car accident; a tragic turn of events; an impossible place in our life when it looks as if we have been forsaken, forgotten about, and left standing alone. That is where and when we need to stand on His Word. Full message - Click here: The Unexpected - Now Think On This Moses Julius - Love For His People - Pakistan Director & Shalom Today Ministry Greeting to you in the Name of YESHUA Ha’Masiacha. Shalom Today Ministry has been running a Sewing Center for the last five years. The purpose of this Sewing Center is to equip the illiterate girls residing in poverty-stricken areas of Pakistan with the skill of sewing. Our vision is to make the poor Christian women skillful with this skill so they can generate income to support their families. Most of the girls and women in these sewing centers are housemaids or belong to the families of domestic servants. Therefore they are very vulnerable to get persecuted, sexually abused & kidnapped for the name of their religion and obvious financial instability. The staff currently working in Pakistan also teaches them the words of God along with the regular lessons. Sewing centre also allows them to be safe, self-sufficient, support their families, develop a sense of worth and most importantly teach them from the Living Words of God.

Our world needs saving. The nations are in much turmoil, rage, anger, and lawlessness. Just keep watching the news and it is obvious that times are changing, and it is not changing for the good. It is happening just as the prophets spoke; just as Jesus (Yeshua) Himself said in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 as to how it would come about. The signs are all around us, forth-telling those exact events which would take place before the Lamb of God returns as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, is the Messiah of Jews and Gentiles, for all who call upon His name for salvation. All indications are that He is coming back soon. While time is yet with us, and there is light among the growing darkness, we must work with His Holy Spirit to spread the Good News. This is the news of His salvation, which is available to any and all who come to Him, for freedom from sin, death, destruction and all evil. This salvation is found only in His saving Blood and through His sacrifice on the cross. He is so willing and loving to give His saving grace to all who call upon His Name. He alone is our salvation. His Name is SALVATION. Paperback only: $7.95 Kindle: $2.95 Amazon: Salvation - My Lord & My God by Steve Martin
