Dear Friend,
Have you noticed in the Scriptures that at times God will divinely initiate an event or cause something to happen—and at other times, something will happen, and He will use that situation for His glory? In Matthew 28, for example, we see Jesus commission His followers to go out into all the world and preach the gospel. Then later, in Acts 8, we see that a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and that the believers were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria, and God used this crisis—“Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word” (vs. 4). We see this sort of thing happening in Ukraine right now. One of the many exciting ways The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry (FOI) blesses Israel is to help Jewish people who live in other nations to make Aliyah—their “return”—to Israel. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. …Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. Ezekiel 36:24, 28 Even before Israel was founded in 1948, FOI has been helping Jewish people around the world escape antisemitic persecution. Today, the Jewish people find safety and comfort in the only Jewish State, Israel. |
