Kerry Announces Groundbreaking Peace Talks:  Secretary of State John Kerry announced that a breakthrough has been made in the resumption of stalled “peace” talks between Israeli & Palestinian Authority officials.  Representatives of both parties are set to meet in Washington, DC as early as next week to begin a round of talks.  The last time these “peace” talks took place, a bloody Intifada ensued, resulting in the violent deaths of hundreds of Israelis.  Please pray that as we begin to see this next round of talks, that God will hold Israel from making any pact that will bring judgment to the nation (Joel 3), and that Israel will come up with another solution to address the issue of the Palestinian population.  For more, see Peace Talks

British MP Disciplined for Anti-Semitic “Tweet”:  A liberal Member of Britain’s Parliament, David Ward, was suspended over a recent anti-Israel, anti-Semitic “tweet” saying that the “Zionists are losing the battle” and questioning how long “the Apartheid State of Israel” can last.  This is yet one example of the rising tide against Israel and Jewish people in general, which is a troubling sign of the times.  Please continue to pray against the evil of hatred against Israel and the Jewish people.  Please also continue to pray for the salvation of both Jew and Gentile, and that all will look to Yeshua our Messiah for peace between the two.  For more, see Anti-Semitic Tweet

Please continue to pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel as the time of the tribulation draws near; please pray we will be a great source of blessing to all Israel and that through our witness, many in Israel will come to know their Messiah.  Please pray for strength, courage, gentleness, and boldness in our witness to our neighbors who do not yet know Yeshua.

Thank you for praying! Shabbat shalom…
