Dear Friend in the Lord,
Warmest greetings to you in that Worthy Name of the One who is Exalted! Thank you for your gracious giving and prayers for this ministry to our Lord Jesus, as we present the Word of Life to the Jewish and non-Jewish People for their salvation in Him, and the worship of the Lamb. Your fellowship in the Gospel is greatly appreciated. May you know His richest blessing and joy as you honor Him.
Let me remind the promise He gives to Israel in Isaiah 30:18 concerning her future salvation: “And therefore will the Lord wait, in order that He may be gracious to you, and therefore He be exalted, so that He may have mercy upon you. Blessed are all they that wait for him”. Israel will know Him and His mercy as a result of our witnesses to these people with our prayers.
As we remember Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:1. “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved”. 
The Apostle Paul writes to every saved Gentile, “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their(the Jews) unbelief: even so have these now not believed, that through your mercy they(the Jews) also may obtain mercy.” Paul reminds every believer whom the Lord Jesus has saved from among the Gentiles why he or she is saved, when he writes, “That the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy. (Romans 15:9a). The same word “mercy” is used by Paul in Romans 15:9 and 11:30 -31. He is showing us in these verses how every saved Gentile is to glorify God in His Will for the mercy he or she has received.
 
In the month of March, with God’s help, we witnessed to more than 1,000 people. In Niagara Falls, Canada, we had an outreach. It was very cold and snowing, but a lot of people were present. Our goal was to spread the Word and God blessed up. We distributed more than 40 NT’s and other evangelical literature. Most who accepted Scripture were people from India. Some came to us asking for Bibles. All who asked never had nor never read the Word. We gladly gave to them and shared the Wonderful News. I mainly preached publicly and loudly, and our people distributed brochures. Many people heard the Testimony about Christ our Savior. Canada is continuing to debate a law to punish Christians who preach about sin and call sins by name. They already have “hate speech” law, but they want to make it more and more hard to speak, especially for street preachers. We do not have this kind of law in America yet, but it is coming as persecution is part of our living in Christ. Philippians 1:29.
 
In Cleveland Airport, while I was waiting in line, I saw a Jewish family behind me. I shared the Gospel with them and they were kindly appreciative, but they rejected to accept Holy Scriptures. When I witnessed to them I did it out loud so that many people in the line could hear about Yeshua. After a while, one angry woman came to me and started screaming at me that I told the Jewish family about Yeshua. She said that Jewish people don’t need Yeshua, and they are saved without Him. At first, I thought the woman is Jewish, but I learned that she is “christian”. I told her that Jewish people need to know that Yeshua is Messiah of Israel. Unfortunately, we meet more and more “christians” who deny that Yeshua is the only way. Romans 1:16.


Thank you for your faithfulness and partnership. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for all my family and our health. Please pray for our Congregation and the ministry. Please pray for financial support. We need solid ongoing financial help to continue. Please pray that God send to us Christians with open hearts to give.
