The Jerusalem Prayer List – November 24, 2011

Joseph Shulam from Seoul, Korea

Happy Thanksgiving to all the American brothers and sisters!  Thanksgiving is and ought to be a daily practice for all of us.  God does not owe us anything and every breath we take and every step we walk is a gift of God's goodness to all of us both human and the animals.  However, it is a nice thing to get together with family and friends and celebrate God's goodness and show our gratitude to all except the good old stuffed turkey.

We finished yesterday the Asia Messianic Forum in Tokyo, Japan, and now we are in Seoul, Korea, doing a repeat of the same.  The Tokyo conference was very rich in the content of all the speaches and teachings.  In fact I can say that now it is very clear to me that God is doing something new and something great in Asia.  A new wave of God's Spirit is beginning to form and wash Asian Christians with the concept of Restoration of the First Century faith, and the deep desire to see Israel saved and the Lord's return.  What is happening is not a revival because revival is something that happens to something that was alive and now needs to be revived and brought back to life.  What is happening now in Asia is in my opinion, a birth, a first time presentation of Yeshua and the Good News of His Kingdom to the Asian people not as an import from Europe or America or Western denominations, but a native Asian Messiah bringing a native Asian Good News message of liberation from traditional Protestant denominations.  It is not an easy thing, but the Lord is sovereign to do His will and we are just the pawns that is is using to bring freedom domination of idolatry and sectarianism.  Please pray for this forum in Seoul, Korea.  This is also a kind of a first in Korea that many different churches and church leaders are gathering together to celebrate the growth of Jewish Disciples of Yeshua in the land of Israel.

There is a strong, but small number, of churches that are deeply committed to the Restoration of New Testament faith and the Restoration of the faith of Yeshua to Israel.  Just yesterday my book, “Planted in the House of the Lord: God, Israel, and the Church,” was published in Korean and today the second book that Netivyah published, “From Jerusalem to Jerusalem,” is also coming out.  These two books will be launched in this Asia Messianic Forum in Seoul.  Now some of my books have been translated to 9 languages and they are being distributed by the local brothers and sisters in their countries.  This too is a good topic for prayer.  We need to ask our God to bless these books so that they can bring good fruit to His Kingdom.  I need your prayers so that I can continue to write and that the Netivyah staff will be able to add and edit and criticize and improve what I write and publish more.  Thank God for our brothers and sisters in Korea for their hard work and dedication to the Kingdom of God and to the Salvation of Israel.

In Israel the office is functioning just fine with three wonderful young man who are working there, and with Udi.  Hannah has been out of the office now for more than two weeks.  She has serious plumbing problems in the apartment, and workers have been working there to change and renew.  So, the men are working in the office and keeping the food distribution and the book mailing and the other tasks needed going well.  Please keep Netivyah in your prayers.  We need your prayers and your support.  There are some big projects in the making, and one of them that we need special support for is the conference planned for December 2012 in Israel to promote the restoration of the Marrano Jews back to their Jewish Identity and to the land of Israel.  It will cost no small amount of money to do this conference and up to now we did not ask for funds for this project.  We need to ask funds for this project because it is so very important to call the world's attention and the attention of the Jewish and Christians population to this historical injustice and work on resolving and fixing it so that these people can regain their identity and at the same time preserve their freedom.  We have already lined up many academic personalities from Portugal and from Brazil, and Great Britain, and Israel to present papers and speak in this conference.  Now we need to actually start doing the work on the ground in Israel and also make reservations and print material to promote this international conference in Israel.

Please continue to pray for all the sick people that you know and for the list that I sent in the last weeks.  Liz from Georgia is back home from the hospital after surgery and we need to continue praying for Liz. 

Keep me in your prayers, please.
