Shalom and blessings;
There's not much to report on this week. The regular riots have been happening at the Gaza border. However, now they have added waving flags with Nazi swastikas painted on them; another indication of their hatred for us. So what else is new! I don't understand their point, when seeing they deny the holocaust happened any.
From the polls it looks like we're going to get another fragile coalition government after the smoke clears September 17th. In fact it may end up being the same one we had before the second round of elections were called. Oh yes, we now have a new polygamy party added to the mix of 120+ parties we already have.
We mourn the terrible tragedies that happened in El Paso and Dayton, the cries for gun control are getting louder and louder. Israel has strict gun laws, but guns are still available to private citizens and many people carry one. A point I want to make is that almost every 18 year old (male and female alike) are walking around in Israel with an automatic assault rifle over their shoulder, yet we've never had one of them commit mass murder. Maybe the solution is to bring back universal conscription in the U.S. At least it would be a way to weed out the crazies.
We continue to prepare for our return trip to Kenya. The Messianic congregation we minister to there need financial support. Work is very hard to come by and families are faced with a lack of food and money for transportation. They also need to buy equipment like microphones and overhead projectors. Money is also needed to buy Bible teaching programs for the children.
Two new offshoot Messianic meeting have come from the Karatina congregation, one in Nyeri and one in Chaka; God willing we'll be ministering to them when we're there. They have none of the basics to help them minister and need our help. Please consider sending in a donation so that we can bring them much needed funds to buy what they need. Be a blessing and be blessed.
In addition to this weeks Parasha, I've attached an audio copy of a sermon I shared with Kenya over Skype. The sound quality is bad but it's understandable.
Yours in Messiah Yeshua, our Lord, our God, our soon coming King.
Rabbi Jack & Ellen
