You are the difference you are praying to see in the world. Against the pervasive darkness and tragedy we all have witnessed across the globe over this past year, you are an outstretched arm holding forth the all-conquering light and love of God. You are the reminder to Jewish people that there is a God, and that He loves them. Your testimony is the Bible that the world is reading. And your life and love speak God’s Word louder than than the cantor in any synagogue.

Over the last year, one of our primary goals has been to build our partner team and raise the prayer and financial support necessary to carry out this ministry. And praise the Lord – He has done it! By God’s grace, we will enter 2018 stronger with each of you beside us, well equipped to forge ahead to whatever God desires to accomplish through this team. It has been our absolute privilege to sit down with many of you, and talk with many more of you over the phone in the last few months; to get to know the incredible individuals who we are blessed to call our teammates, and see in your hearts a reflection of God’s own.

You are pastors, teachers, missionaries, construction workers, students, stay-at-home moms, nannies, bankers, business men and women, engineers, hair stylists, photographers, artists, authors, doctors, lawyers, baristas, paramedics, nurses, pilots, web developers, salesmen, police officers, military personnel and so much more. You are based in at least twenty-three American states, and at least ten more countries. Some of you are blessed with much and some of you get by with little. You come from all walks of life and have many different political views. Two powerful things unite you: your love for our Messiah Yeshua, and your heart for His people, Israel. And because of those two things, every last one of you is a world changer.

Maybe you have never traveled to the Holy Land or met an Israeli, but the dollars you give to this ministry are hours of your life that you have invested in their eternity. And every time you lift your voice to intercede for Israel before the throne, you take up the shield of faith and wield the sword of the Spirit right alongside us at the front lines of the battle.

As the holidays approach, and we thank God for another year of involving us in His great mission of redemption for Israel and the nations, we want you to know: you are the difference. Your love scales the walls between Jewish people and the message of salvation in Yeshua. And we thank you for it.

B’shalom Yeshua,

BJ and Carissa
