Shalom, Shalom!

A friend from Belgium sent me this link. He said that he reads "Israel Today" magazine on the way to work and found this article. Although we weren't interviewed directly, the information came entirely from "Ami Updates" and we are very grateful for the article! Every bit of reporting and communication with the government through letters strengthens our case and rallies prayer and support for justice and righteousness in the Israeli court system, not only for us but for our nation. We are convinced that the unified prayer of faith of the Body of Messiah is a powerful force against which the gates of hell cannot stand. (Matt.16:17-20) In these last days that we are privileged to be living in, we need to live differently as believers in Messiah, and to rally around the throne of God in prayer and praise like never before - together!!

Israel Today magazine is based in Jerusalem. They originally published in German but have expanded throughout the years to English and Japanese editions. Their journalists live in the Land and report first hand - they say their mission is "to be a definitive source for a truthful and balanced perspective on Israel."

NBA

In a past "Update" I wrote about past and present NBA players who visited Israel in September, and how they blessed us by letting Ami sit on the bench during a game that we went to see. After the game we were privileged to have dinner with the team, and to share a bit of our testimony. Below is a link to a CBN report done by Chris Mitchell on a game they played with disabled Israeli veterans. You can get a glimpse of their hearts, and the encouragement they were to those they came in contact with here in the Land.

The picture was taken with the tallest player who was on the team. He's over 7 feet tall, about 2 meters 13, and as you can see, in comparison Ami who is 6'7" or 1.98 meters looks normal height, and David and I look like midgets!!
THE TWELFTH IMAM

I would like to recommend Joel Rosenberg's recently released new book, "The Twelfth Imam". It is fascinating novel, and like all of Joel's books, intriguing and exciting to read. It presents a real possibility of what is going on in Iran now concerning the religious cult that Ahmadinejad is a leading part of, and which is shaping Iranian politics today. All of Joel's books are written on the background of Biblical, last days prophecy, in a unique way that has been given to him by the Lord.

If you haven't read Joel Rosenberg's novels and non-fiction books, I recommend them as they will bring great understanding of the politics and realities of the Middle East and the West, in light of last days prophecy. Here is a website where you can check out all his titles -
