Prayer Letter September 29th, 2008
US REPORT: RISE IN
VIOLENCE AGAINST MESSIANIC JEWS: Violence against Christian evangelical and Messianic
Jewish communities in Israel
increased significantly between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008, according to a
US State Department report. The report, released last week, put blame for the
"tensions" on "certain Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities."
The State Department also mentioned the Interior Ministry refused to process
immigration applications from persons entitled to citizenship under the Law of
Return if it was determined such persons held Christian or Messianic Jewish
religious beliefs. (J.Post) Steady prayers for
Messianic believers living in Israel
are greatly needed - also that visas will be granted and renewed for volunteers
who serve in the land.
Blessings from Jerusalem,
