Dear Friend,

Shalom and warmest greetings to you from our God the Father and the Lord Jesus the Messiah. Thank you very much for your partnership with us. Thank you very much for your support by prayers and financial giving. May your faith never be shaken and may God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, God of Israel bless you abundantly!

Summer is over and we are just ready for the Gods Fall Feasts – Tishrei month Holidays. On September 22 (Elul 25-Tishrei 1), from sunset, we are going to begin celebrate the  The Feast of Yom Teruah (Feast of Sounding of the Shofar or by Rabbinical tradition Rosh-Ha Shana- Jewish New 5786 Year) , and ten days later, we will celebrate Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and finish with Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles). All of these feasts have prophetic meaning regarding Rapture of the church, Tribulation, Repentance and salvation of Israel, and the return of the Messiah. The ancient rabbis held a similar view: “In the month of Nisan (at Passover), our ancestors were redeemed, and in Tishrei (Rosh Ha-Shana), they will be redeemed in the time to come”. Also, they say:” And it is the ram’s horn that the Holy One, blessed be he, is destined to blow when the son of David, our righteous one, will reveal himself, as it said ‘And the Lord God will blow the horn’ “. Our congregation always celebrates Feasts of the Lord, and we will use these opportunities to witness to people about The Messiah Yeshua.

In the month of August, we witnessed by God’s grace to more than a several thousand people. In Seattle WA, we went to share the Gospel at Pike Market. We had a lot of aggression towards me, mainly by LGBT through some physical abuse. One of them took NT, put it in his mouth, and started destroying it with his teeth. I told him to stop, but he started screaming very loudly. His screaming was not by man but by demons. We need to remember that there is a spiritual war and we need to fight for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Another man started to throw tomatoes at me. When security saw, they were involved, but their supervisor declined a NT I offered him. He told me that he is a Pagan and does not need the Word of God. While witnessing, we had pressure. Even some business owners were very angry that we shared Good News. After we finished, we were very happy that even through aggression and attacks, God gave us love and we distributed some Bibles to those who wanted to have the Word.

In York and Harrisburg PA, together with youth from a Russian local church, we had outreach for two days. On the first day in York, we went downtown. We met some homeless people who accepted Bibles, and one of them was a Muslim. Afterwards, we went to a small stadium where a baseball game was going to start. We witnessed and distributed some NT’s and other evangelical literature to those who were there and waiting in line. Some of them who took Holy Scripture never had one before. On the second day, with around 25 people, we went to Harrisburg downtown where we met a lot of people. We divided by several teams and went different directions to reach people. We asked questions, prayed for people, gave some food and gift cards, but most importantly, we distributed Bibles. After we finished, each team gave their report. It was a big blessing, especially for the youth who for some of them was their first time doing outreach in their own area.

In Cleveland Airport, I met a Rabbi from New York. We had a conversation for about 15-20 minutes. At the end, I offered him NT, but he declined. Anyway, I remember how he was listening about Yeshua without interrupting me, and I know for sure he will think about it by God's mercy.

Thank you very much for your kindness and faithfulness, partnership and prayers. Our donation giving for the last month was very very low and very less than what we need every month. Please pray as we need more supporters to continue. I know that God will provide and we are thankful for everything.

If The Lord leads you to help us financially to support the work of Bethel from God, please send your donations to:

Bethel Messianic Congregation, P O Box 360165, Cleveland Ohio 44136. All donations are Tax deductible and you’ll get your receipt.

Please continue to pray for my family, especially for my sons Daniel and Anbar. Rafael is recovering from the surgery but needs a lot of prayers too.

Thank you and God bless you. Happy Holidays and Happy Jewish New 5786 Year. Shana Tova V’Metuka! In The Lord-Messiah Yeshua

Brother Igor.

Shalom
