God promises to bless you when you bless the Jewish people

Connections

In Genesis 12:3, God makes an astonishing promise to the Nation of Israel that He has kept – and will continue to keep:

When you bless God’s people, you’ll be blessed in return!

“My desire is to bless those who bless you.” We hope you’ll consider that as you give to provide health and hope for Jewish people today. Few suffer the relentless grip of poverty more than Jewish people in Africa’s poorest communities.

You provided lifesaving treatment for an Ethiopian Jewish boy. Here’s what happened . . .

But with every $30 you give now, you’ll provide medical care for one Jewish person or a neighbor, PLUS give them the opportunity to hear about Jesus and His love.

You can imagine . . . desperation can drive sick and injured people to do just about anything to get treatment.

We’ll say thank you for your generosity with a gift!

And desperate certainly describes many of the Jewish people (and their neighbors) we care for at our Medical Clinics. Sadly, many struggle mightily just to survive in the most poverty-stricken lands of Africa. They often have no access to health care. So they must sometimes go to extreme lengths to get help.

At a recent Medical Clinic in Ethiopia, one of our team members briefly stepped outside a locked entrance to accept a delivery of food. While waiting, he noticed a boy standing across the street who was in obvious need of medical care. Because the boy’s pants were way too short, our staffer could see that his ankles and legs were terribly infected. Bleeding scabs were clearly visible, and he was in

What’s your role in the End Times?

obvious pain. Our team member was so concerned, he walked over and talked to the boy. He learned that the boy had come the day before, but we’d been unable to treat him because his parents were not there to give consent.

One of the questions Believers ask often is, Can I play a role in God’s End Times plan? We can learn a lot from the words of Jesus Himself: “We must do the work of the One who sent Me, so long as it is day! Night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:4-5, TLV).

Thankfully, we got the necessary consent. Our dermatologist cleaned his wounds and prescribed antibiotics to fight the horrible infection. Our doctor later said the infection was so advanced that, without the immediate treatment he received at the Clinic, the boy would have actually lost his legs.

God’s timing . . . God’s providence One of the most difficult challenges at our Clinics is how to help all of the people who come to us. There are so many, we have trouble treating them all. While we hope and pray God will put those with the greatest need before us, it’s hard to watch people leave untreated. It was certainly a case of God’s timing and providence. The Lord put this boy at that side entrance on purpose.

Your gifts transform – and even save – lives through medical, dental and eye care clinics in some of Africa’s most poverty-stricken communities.

Your support brings healing and hope All of this is made possible by partners like you who pray for this ministry and give to multiply our efforts so that even more Jewish people can be reached with help, healing and hope. Thank you!

What Jesus is saying here is that we’re living in a very intense period of history. The forces of evil are turning against God’s people in a dramatic fashion. While we may be tempted to just say everything is fine, we need to look around us and understand what’s happening – here in the West,

Blessings on YOU!

and certainly in Israel. The end will come suddenly. God’s Word assures us of that. But if we’re complacent, we won’t be ready. And worse, we won’t fulfill the destiny He has prepared for us. If these truly are the Last Days – and I’m convinced they are – we’re approaching the crescendo of history. We need to be prepared, obedient and active witnesses to the Good News. Personally, I don’t want to be on the sidelines, so I will continue to do all I can to ensure that as many of God’s chosen people as possible hear this message. But let’s never forget: The end is a good story. Because we will prevail. The victory has already been won. The Bible warns us to understand and pay attention to the signs of the times, because we who endure to the end will be saved!

Ethiopian Tallit (Prayer Shawl)

But many Christians today don’t recognize the full extent to which our religious experience is built on a foundation of the Jewish faith. They often forget that the earliest Christians were Jewish . . . that they heard the Good News preached by Jesus Himself . . . and that most of the Bible was written by Jewish men. As we approach the wonderful season of Chanukah, why not remind non-Jewish Believers that this observance commemorates not just the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem 2,200 years ago, but also God’s miraculous rescue of the Jewish people from certain annihilation at the hands of Greek invaders? Without the miracle of Chanukah, you could argue that there literally would be no Jewish Messiah! In the 22 centuries since, God has consistently shown He has a plan for His chosen people. And I want to thank you for joining me to serve non-Jewish Believers by supporting teaching on the Hebraic roots of Christianity, as well as the Church’s responsibility to carry the Good News to Jewish people. What a blessing you are!
