To God be the Glory!

When we needed books and Bibles to pass out, the Lord provided them free of charge!

 

When we needed a van to distribute the books, the Lord provided a van through the gifts of His People!

 

We needed a place to put the books so people could come to read them and we needed a place to play chess so the pensioners would not have to play in the streets on broken tables, etc.; the Lord provided a place in the marketplace!  The King’s Men chess and Bible Shop was opened!

 

When we needed clothing and food to help needy people, the Lord has provided it through various sources!

 

When the Haredim began to harass us at our house, and vandalize our vehicles, the Lord provided a more secure and private place for us and off-street parking for our vehicles!

 

When the Haredim burned the King’s Men, the Lord provided us with global news coverage and brought the funds in to rebuild;  The King’s Men is much better for it!  The Lord was glorified through His People and unbelievers marveled at what happened.

 

When the Haredim continued to harass the believers here in Arad, the Lord provided witnesses to defend us in court and the Supreme Court handed down a verdict against the Haredim.

 

When the Haredim put false charges against the believers here, and slanderous stories in the newspaper, the Lord is providing a defense through various channels, through a school documentary, TV and radio programs, through the internet and videos, through unbelievers who are sickened by the constant attack on the Christians and Messianic Jews and have taken up our cause.  The Lord is our Defense!

 

When we are summoned to court to face false charges, the Lord has provided a Christian lawyer and funds to help us!

 

The Lord has brought people to Himself because of the persecution of His Body, the Church!  Many believers have been strengthened because of the pressure and have learned more about the character of Y’shua.  He has been glorified through it all!

 

When we needed people to watch over the ministry, the Lord brought those people here and helped them take care of things while we were in the U.S.

 

He has been faithful in meeting all our needs, spiritual, physical and emotional.  We belong to Him.  This ministry belongs to Him.  We own nothing but Him.  Each and every crisis we face belongs to Him.  Each and every victory belongs to Him.  He is our Father and we are His children.  We thank Him for you, and for your prayers and your part in this ministry!  God bless you!

 

He has shown Himself strong on our behalf in so many ways we cannot even begin to remember them all and we shall spend eternity praising Him!

 

We are facing a financial crisis at the moment, but we want to go on record that we know our Lord and we know He can handle it!  He is always on the lookout for ways to demonstrate His loving kindness and His power to His children and that’s why we can rest in Him!  He will meet this need, too, and we thank Him in advance!

 

It’s all about Y’shua!  When He is lifted up, He is the One who draws all men to Him!  He is our purpose and reason for being.  We give Him Glory and Praise!  In His Precious Name and by His Atoning Blood, we continue to stand and serve,
