Happy New Year!
We pray you are entering 2024 refreshed from a season of celebrating our Messiah, with renewed confidence that He is truly our “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” (Isaiah 9:6).
We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for you and for what God has enabled us to accomplish together with you in 2023. We are so thankful for our prayer partners who battle alongside us in this spiritual warfare of ministry, and for our faithful financial partners who give generously and sacrificially to support our ministry. We can’t tell you enough what an encouragement you are to us. This ministry is only possible because of you. Therefore, our accomplishments of 2023 are your accomplishments.
In 2023 God enabled us to:
- Rebuild the Host Israelis and Planet Zula apps ourselves (in-house) so our team can have complete control and quick editing of our apps
- Launch Host Israelis in February and make host applications open to the public
- Launch Planet Zula in May and begin promoting it in Israel
- Host our first Israeli guests on the network in June and dozens more Israelis throughout the year
- Recruit and train 85 hosts in 10 different countries by November, with many more in process
- Sign up 33 Israeli guests to use Planet Zula by November
- Share the Gospel dozens of times with Israelis through our hosts around the world, and lead at least one Israeli family to faith in Jesus so far!
- Speak in 21 churches across the U.S. to share God’s heart for Israel, recruit hosts and raise support
- Gain 103 new prayer partners and donors!
Praise God with us for all He accomplished through this ministry in 2023. And thank YOU for your support for us this year, we truly could not have done this without you.
We are starting 2024 at 78% of our monthly support need, up from 70% at the beginning of 2023. Praise the Lord with us for His incredible provision, and please continue praying for new monthly donors in order to reach 100% of our needed funding.
We pray you will be blessed through your partnership with this ministry (Genesis 12:3) and grow in your walk with Jesus this year. Please let us know how we can be praying for you.
Love,
BJ, Carissa, Ari and Aviya
