Join Us for Our
Fall Intercession Tour
And
Jerusalem Succot Celebration
September 26, 2004 – October 8, 2004

Dear ones,

I feel that it is very important to get an early start in preparation for our “Fall Feast of Tabernacles Tour.” Over the most recent years we have noticed a measurable decline in intercessors traveling to Israel. This is partly due to the overwhelmingly false impression projected by the media that it is unsafe to tour throughout Israel. This just isn’t so!

Most of the pictures of rioting and terrorism is contained to Gaza and a few parts of the West bank. We are very aware of what is going on throughout the land and are thus very careful to protect the well being of all those traveling with us. We do not go into those areas where there are curfews or tactical maneuvers being carried out. We hold to the high places of worship and intercession.

PLEASE! Consider traveling with us this fall. I know that it will transform your life. And more importantly you will be used of God to encourage the Messianic Community there as they see you coming to stand along side them in their hour of need. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Pastor Rick

• Beloved, below is a report from our dear friends ministering in Beer Sheva: Here are some important needs to pray about:

Report

Late last night/early this morning, the Bible House in Beer Sheva was the target of an arson attack, which, praise the Lord, did not succeed! Two bottles were tossed into the shop, breaking the glass door. The smoke set off the fire alarm, which brought the fire department, who caused more damage by breaking the security gate and the glass door than the failed attempt! Incredibly little damage was done. We had just talked two days ago about putting new doors in anyway.

The “Legal” picketing and demonstrations in Arad against the believers (which have been continuing for over a month now, approved by the police,) plus this transgression against recognized laws, is a warning that laxity over civil liberties only increases the idea in sinners’ minds that there is no one who will take proper measures to bring accountability and penalize lawbreaking.

We continue to pray for the name of the Lord Jesus to be lifted up with honor, for the believers to be strengthened and proved in our faith in Him and for the repentance unto salvation for those who are still opposing Him and us without cause.

More Prayer Points:
• Prayer for a healing of breast cancer for our friend (a ministry leader) in Israel.
• Pray for the body of believers, both Jew and Gentile, to gain courage to stand in the face of darkness.
• Pray for world leaders to humble themselves before the mighty hand of God.
• Pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel; for unity, greater intimacy with God and for holy boldness as they stand as a witness of Yeshua before their people.
• Pray for finances to be released to ministries throughout Israel and to ministries who support Israel.
• Pray for a fresh outpouring of God’s Spirit throughout the earth.
• Pray for Gratefully Grafted Ministries to be a fruitful bough to Israel.

Shalom, Pastor Rick
