A Priority Prayer Alert

Please continue to pray for us as a ministry as we continue in our transition from EMBRACE ISRAEL MINISTRIES to GRATEFULLY GRAFTED MINISTRIES. In our efforts to do this name change in a smooth way, we think we may have caused confusion.

We are still the same people doing the same work for the same people (Ministries). You need to know that this ministry has taken over all of the workload from Embrace Israel Ministries and there is now no ministry called Embrace Israel Ministries. Only the name has changed. Embrace Israel Ministries, under the directorship of Rick and Cheryl Lunsford, had, over the last 2 years, evolved into the vision of Gratefully Grafted Ministries - hence the name change. We are still "embracing Israel."

Gratefully Grafted Ministries Int’l vision is "both – and;" Embracing Israel while keeping to the vision of the importance of God's Land and people before the Church – and raising and releasing prayer and funds into ministries there, who are laboring in the harvest field.

Therefore my friends, we need your support; financially and prayerfully. We have a very small staff, 3 full-time and 2 part-time. We don’t want to have to lay anyone off. We need everyone who labors here with us. Thank you for your support and partnering with us in this ministry.

Below are some specific prayer requests from our friends in Israel.
