June 30, 2009 » A Miracle of Healing in the Hospital in Ashdod

“Every year many of our people from [the Messianic synagogue in Ashdod, Israel] have gone to Bible School in Jerusalem. Every year it’s been a challenging task for many as it requires 9 months of commitment and dedication.

Although the sacrifice that the Bible School students make is great, the reward is always greater.

Such is the case with four of our sisters… who are attending this year’s Bible School in Jerusalem.

One day, during a morning prayer the students were asked to pray for a 15 year old boy, a believer, who is lying in the hospital with terminal cancer, leukemia. It was said he needs transfusion of a rare blood type, and N__ found that she was compatible.

She felt the Lord urging her and the other three sisters to go to the hospital. When she tried to give blood, she was told they couldn’t take her blood due to low level of hemoglobin. But N__ was determined to go back in a few days after raising the hemoglobin level and give blood for the boy.

When the four of them returned to the hospital after a few days, and N___ gave blood, they went into the boy’s room to see him. The image of a lifeless boy in bed was unbearable, but they knew authority has been given to us, the believers. Yeshua said, when we lay our hands on the sick they WILL recover. So they prayed.

Their prayer was heard in the corridor and nurses as well as other patients gathered around the door to witness their prayer. After a few days when they came back to the hospital, the boy’s father greeted them with truly amazing news: the cancerous cells stopped reproducing and the healthy cell began multiplying and accelerating the recovery process! The doctors were amazed!

After less than two weeks later, the boy was released from the hospital. Since the doctors determined he was doing so well, there’s not reason to keep him in the hospital.

Needless to say, this won’t be the last time our sisters will be going to a hospital to pray for the sick! Hallelujah!”

Israeli Single Mothers

“In the past couple of months, there have been several events that have been both life-changing and exciting for the single mothers of the various congregations in Beer Sheva.

1.) Orna’s Seminar-

Orna [] works with single mothers throughout the country and does seminars for helping single mothers both spiritually and physically. Marianna, who is the manager of the “Grace in the Desert” single mothers outreach, organized this seminar. Thanks to your donations this seminar brought all the single mothers together and was life-changing to many of them. It gave them spiritual tools to be able to be a single mother and follower of Yeshua.

2.) Follow-up single mothers’ seminar-

Last week Marianna and Ayelet organized a follow-up seminar where Ayelet spoke about giving by teaching about the widow that Elijah visited. God was looking to bless the widow more than he blessed Elijah.

A couple of days after attending this seminar, a single mother (one who also attends our house congregation.)

She has a pre-paid electricity card that she uses for her house, and realized that the card had only two sheckels left– hardly enough electricity to cook a full meal for a congregation full of people. She began to cook it anyway, unsure if she would have enough electricity to last her over the weekend. After cooking, she looked at the amount of electricity left and it was at one sheckel! She cooked the whole day and miraculously it only used 1 sheckel! . The electricity miraculously multiplied to sixteen sheckels by the beginning of the week! This was a true lesson of God’s faithfulness to her when she gives.

3.) Marianna has been faithfully meeting with the single mothers and the National Insurance Institute ( Israel’s Social Security Welfare department). The bureaucracy is hard there, but because of Marianna’s help, the believing single mother’s are getting the help and the rights that they need!

Single Mother Events in the Coming Months
There are also a few single mothers events in the coming months that need both your prayer and your support.

Among other needs, please prayerfully consider how to bless Israeli single moms and their children with

-School Supplies

Most of the single mothers barely survive and have difficulty in buying food (for which Grace in the Desert has an adoption program). This also means that nothing is left to buy school supplies for children. We want to supply every child with a backpack full of school supplies. If you believe you are to give towards this cause, please contact us.

-Adopt-a-Mother

There are a few new single mothers that are have urgent needs. We are looking for people to adopt them for $100 a month in the “adopt-a-mother” program. If you feel led to adopt a single mother for a period of six-months to a year with $100 in grocery vouchers, please contact Israel Benevolence Fund through email and mention you want to give towards one of Orna’s projects for Israeli single mothers.


» Healings in Israel B’Shem Yeshua (In Yeshua’s Name)

“We [in Israel] prayed for ____ to be healed, and [ ] received an amazing healing and a vision of bright white light as the love of God touched him.

bright white light

"He received an amazing healing and a vision of a bright white light as the love of God touched him."

This opened up things to his neighbors who lined up for prayer in his house. Many more were healed and the people are in  shock. One prayed with us to receive Yeshua and another woman has said that she wants to.

Later, the same woman has now invited her entire not-yet-believing family and friends to be prayed for healing in two weeks!

Praise God for his faithful harvest!”
