"Oh L-rd fill my heart for I long for Your presence night and day."
The words above sound like those of a worship song, right? Well, this is a song that an Orthodox Jewish man played in a pub in Tsfat (Safed) Israel! Can you hear the longing he has to know G-d intimately? This desire is increasing more and more each day among Israelis, both secular and religious.
I had the opportunity to participate in an open stage night in Tsfat with two of my daughters. Since I hadn't registered previously they only had space for me to sing one song. Before I began to sing I said, "Oh, how I love to sing from the Psalms". After the song the audience, comprised of many Orthodox Jews, exclaimed, "More, More!" Wow, what a hunger and what a privilege to minister to my people!

After I finished singing, three men approached me to see if I could sing on their new CD's! Two of them have already called me and I shared with them about Messiah. One was Orthodox and after I told him I believe in Yeshua he had one question: "What holidays do you celebrate?" After I told him Pesach, Sukkot, Shabbat, etc, he asked what I celebrate in December. I said, "Chanukah, because Yeshua is the light of the world!" His response was, "Well, you're still Jewish."
Let me explain. Recently a dear Israeli friend was recording a worship CD and while in the studio of an Orthodox Jew, she and her husband explained that they are believers in Messiah Yeshua. The Orthodox man replied, "I don't have a problem with the Jewish Yeshua, but I have a problem with the Christian Yeshua."
How we wish that the history of the Church and the Jewish people wasn't so tragic. But G-d used the blindness of the Jewish people to our Messiah to spread the Gospel throughout the world. So the nations were introduced to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And now after 2000 years, G-d is removing this blindness that we've had and fulfilling His promises to restore Israel. "A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." Romans 11:25
Praise the L-rd for His faithfulness to keep His promises and for pouring out wisdom and favor upon His sheep and dreams and visions upon His prodigals!

"For I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation - that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written, 'The deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. This is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.'" Romans 11:25-27

"Supernatural or Just Remarkable"
Booklet testimony:
"I had bought just one copy thinking that it would be interesting reading but found it had a very powerful message that had to be shared. I gave my copy to my son, who after reading it, passed it around to his fellow workers. One young man from a Lutheran background never knew that Jesus was a Jew."
"Then a friend gave me another copy to send to my grandson. He had accepted Yeshua as a young boy but many disappointments in his life led him to believe that there was no G-d. After reading the booklet he decided there is definitely a G-d and now his heart is once again open to the Gospel! So now I'm passing around your booklets to friends and praying that their hearts will also be open to the Holy Spirit."
The booklets are available via our website and make a wonderful gift for your Jewish friends and family!

 Would you like to live in a house with an Israeli-Moroccan Jewish family (believers) and learn Hebrew? Small swimming pool, three meals daily (the wife is a fantastic cook!) and laundry provided. It's only $120 per day per person or $200 for a couple. This is less than what you'd pay for a hotel room alone! Come for a week or two and see your Hebrew soar. Contact us for more details. תודה רבה

Recently while praying on the Golan with friends from Sri Lanka, we gave away Psalm 91 bandanas and gifts to soldiers and hitchhikers. The openness of heart here in the Land is astounding, praise G-d! Thank G-d for so many opportunities to shine for His glory at recent events for Holocaust survivors too!

We write G-d and L-rd like this according to an ancient Orthodox Jewish custom that Carolyn grew up with and loves to continue. This is done only out of reverence and respect for the name of the Holy One of Israel. Thank you for understanding.
