In Guatemala, a group of adults busy themselves fabricating wood frames they will eventually sell. In Portugal, a similar group runs a metal shop, a laundry and a bakery. In Siberia, adults make jewelry for income and mentor the young people who assist them. In Swaziland, a group of families—some of whom have HIV/AIDs, including children—cultivate land and participate in a fish farm. Groups in Kenya and Israel are equally industrious.
Israel: In the Midst of Great Fear, A Revelation of Great Faith
1/3/11
Israel is the crossroads of the spiritual world, a hotbed of hostility and a region that has dominated the headlines for decades.
When the Blessing of God Sends Fear Into the Earth
There is a deep abiding inner peace that only comes from Jesus. This peace is deep within those who know and understand Christ and trust that God has everything under control. When God's word is entwined in our heart and mind we will be led down a pathway of peace. This peace is the mark of the work of God. However, when we begin to leave the single pursuit of glorifying God and begin to find pleasure in this world your heart will turn from truth.
Jerusalem Conference Report
Posted January 24, 2008
Since the "Let's Go Up to Jerusalem" Conference ended (June 13-15) we have been receiving unsolicited reactions from members of the body of Messiah in Israel. One leader said, "This was not a conference. I usually don't like conferences. This was a three-day visitation from the Lord. His presence was so overwhelming and powerful. I was on my knees. Rivers of tears flowed." Another said, "I was so touched by David Wilkerson's first message, I couldn't stop crying all day." One of our interns said, "I didn't know a conference could be like this."
The Ministry of Refreshing Others
The last day out pouring will be a one on one ministry of the Holy Spirit. When the enemy comes to attack the body of Christ with weariness and the lie that we have been rejected and have lost effectiveness, The Holy Spirit will stir up those who are able to bring comforting words of encouragement to refresh one another. God doesn’t send an angel; He uses those who have learned to come through tribulations and trials with exceeding joy to encourage and refresh others as they go through their trials.
An Excellent Spirit
When we purpose in our heart not to feast at the enemy's table and we refuse to refashion God by our unbelief and disobedience God will give us a supernatural discernment to recognize and resist every defiling temptation of the enemy. The same God who reveals the source of this defilement will give us the power to move away from it. When we refuse this defilement by faith we will be empowered to influence others with the same truth. God wants to raise up a Daniel company and impart us with this excellent Spirit that refuses to be defiled by Satan.
When Jesus Retells Your Story
Early in our childhood we begin to form a picture of what we hope our future will look like. Often, as we age, our reality doesn’t match our desires. We risk disappointment, discouragement and a down-cast heart. Then Jesus comes just as he walked alongside those on the road to Emmaus. He reveals to us not only our brokenness but he also tells us his story for our life which is always greater than our own.
DISCLAIMER
Our policy is that all gifts designated for a specific project be applied to that project. Occasionally we receive more funds than can be wisely used for the designated project. When that happens, we use those funds to meet other similar pressing needs in the same country to advance the gospel.
