… The Calling Stays the Same! This last issue of 2008 also marks some big changes for Tzedakah Times. The first thing you should notice is obvious … no more staple! However, and seriously, the newsletter for Tzedakah Ministries has reached a point in which the things which need to be written and read require another page. And so this is the first issue that you will find a four-page Tzedakah Times. Let me know what you think about the changes and directions the newsletter is going! However, and this is crucial, the calling of Tzedakah Ministries can never and will never change. The purpose of this ministry is “To Equip the Church to Reach His People” and I would rather go home to heaven than to change the mission of this evangelistic outreach. In fact at a recent board meeting for the ministry, the amazing board members and I met together to discuss some of the 2009 goals I would like to share with you. These goals and the effort that this ministry will take to achieve them will take a lot of work and a lot of prayer. Please pray for this ministry in 2009 as Tzedakah Ministries (and I) need them desperately! One of the first goals is to increase the number of church meetings in 2009. Why is this important? To spread the message of Jewish evangelism and the role of the church in this task takes getting into churches. I know this sounds simplistic but unfortunately it is sometimes (lots of times) more difficult than you might imagine. So in other words, pray for this goal! The second major goal is the continued development of evangelistic tracts and ministry outreaches to stay current with the expectations and needs of Christians and churches. For example, three of the tracts that Tzedakah is in the process of writing for 2009 deal with Kabbalah and Judaism, the futile search of Buddhist Jews, and the truth that Abraham was saved by faith and not The Law as Abraham himself was not even kosher (Genesis 18). Controversy awaits! A third objective for 2009 is to find a mission agency (or agencies) that will join with Tzedakah Ministries to reach the 150,000+ Brazilian Jews with the message that Jesus is their Messiah as well. In addition, Tzedakah Ministries also wants to branch the ministry into Canada. For Brazil and Canada are two of the largest countries, after Israel and the United States, in terms of Jewish population. However, and unlike Israel and the USA, Brazil and Canada do not have a large outreach in the area of Jewish evangelism. In other words, please pray that churches in Brazil and Canada will join with Tzedakah Ministries in reaching out to their Jewish communities with the message of Messiah Jesus. Please pray for these goals (and the others that space prevented me from writing about in this edition). Each goal will take a lot of hard work but most importantly prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Please be a prayer warrior for Jewish evangelism in 2009! I hope you like the changes to Tzedakah Times. Please let me know if there is an issue that you would like discussed … and I will try to make it happen in future editions. As I close this article, I pray that the rest of 2008 is filled with joy and opportunities to serve Messiah Jesus. And may your 2009 be overflowing with times of happiness. Shalom! |
