To all who desire to have a greater revelation of the Love of God which has the power to change the hearts of men, to bring comfort where there is pain and freedom where there is bondage. This is the testimony of my life given from God. "That they may all be one, even as the, Father, is in Me, and I in Him, That they also might be in us; That the world may believe that He did send Me." Amen.

Galiziah which borders on the Poland and Ukraine the background of my family. Being a son of Jewish holocaust survivors, I was aware at an early age of the recent history of my people, the Jewish people. Memories that were still fresh in the mind of my parents and relatives, were related to me on many occasions. These memories consisting of stories of fear, personal shame, and murder each time was a moment relived when told to me by my parents or grandparents as I saw the pain in their faces, as they recounted family members who were given up by Russian government into the hands of Nazi Germany to be killed. Both my mother and father's family were killed in the holocaust. My grandfather a Rabbi whom I never saw, was taken by the Nazis never to be seen again. In my heart I hated both the Russian and German people alike because of what they did. It was difficult for me to work with any one who was Russian or German because even the language itself would displease me. In my eyes it was just as bad. Living in Jerusalem at young age one of my earlier jobs was a physiotherapist, working in a hospital. Here I would meet many people who came from different parts of the world to help the nation of Israel as volunteers. On one occasion I was approached by a man who introduced himself to me, explained he was from Holland and was volunteering in Israel. He invited me to a Believer's fellowship he was attending in Jerusalem. This mans kindness and invitation made me man’s curious to visit this place.

What really touched my heart was not the messages of the preacher that moved me or the songs so much, but the love and kindness that emanated from this people towards me and to each other, and this is what I needed. The people made me feel valued and gave me a sense of belonging. Although I was a regular visitor to the congregation, I still did not understand or believe what they spoke about, this Yeshua (Jesus) being the Messiah of the Jewish people and the whole world, by taking upon Himself the sins of the world. This was very hard for me to understand considering the recent history of my people. My heart was hard like a stone. Being a typical Israeli I was proud, because we as a people know much about God and the prophets, but to understand the mission of Yeshua and His purpose was very hard.

I Corinthians 1:23-24 says "But we preach Messiah crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness. But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of God and the Wisdom of God."

Time passed by, a year later I realized that I could no longer live a daily lukewarm living without the truth as I recognized that the truth of God is at hand only needed my decision. I believed that it was the conviction of the Ruah Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) in me to have a new walk in life which lead me to the acceptance of my Messiah Yeshua and thus I decided to follow His footsteps. What a privilege our God had given me. Matthew 22:14, "For many are called, but few are chosen." To come to realization that He is not pushing us to obey Him BUT rather He is waiting for our personal decision to accept Him as our Lord and Savior and be changed. This means a change from the worldly influence into His Holy Spirit filled influence with the true love of GOD. I John 4:7

It was at a fellowship gathering one evening that as we were worshiping, a member of the congregation, an Austrian man came and fell at my feet crying and asking me to forgive him and his people for what they did to the Jewish people during the Holocaust. There are no words for me to describe to you what I felt as the compassion and love of God that flowed through me towards this brother. Immediately God began to heal and set me free from the hate I carried for so long. My heart melted before this man and we embraced each other.

In the pure love of God there is true unity, and in repentance, deliverance from the bondage of sin, and healing where there is compassion. This is what I have seen and experienced. As I have ministered now in both in the Ukraine and Germany. I have seen this happen as men and women weep concerning the past and have approached me sobbing and asking for forgiveness. Seeing as His people approach Him with repentant hearts. He has been faithful in a mighty way, through healing His people and setting them free from bondage. Though there is One who only has the power to remove our sins far from us and pardons our iniquities. We are encouraged in the word of God, to where it is possible be at peace with all men, especially our brethren.  Psalm 133,  "For how blessed it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like the anointing oil on the head, for there the Lord commands the blessing of life forevermore." Where there is unity in the pure love of God, there is power, for then the Lord will command His blessing and anoint us through the power of His Holy Spirit. I have come to realize that my brothers and sisters are those who do the will of God, and the aliens are those who do not abide by His commandments. Those who focused for His land and people He will bless because it is His promise even since at the time of Abraham when he left Ur Chaldeans and came to Canaan (Israel) Genesis 12:3.

I live in Jerusalem Israel with my wife who is from the Philippines and my daughter. I believe that our marriage is a testimony that God has brought both Jew and Gentile together to proclaim His word and His power to save all those who call upon His name as it is written in the book of Ephesians 2:13-15 that our Heavenly Father sent Yeshua the Messiah and through HIS precious blood the middle wall of separation was broken so as to create Himself a one new man from the two (Gentile and Jew) thus making peace.

John 13:34:35, "A new commandment I give unto you that You Love one another even as I have Loved You, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know you are My disciples, if you love one another." In this season I feel Adonai moving within us to preach the pure Love of God to His people, both the Arabs and the Jews. To proclaim His good news in all the areas of Israel and to the whole world. Micah 4:2, We are brothers and sisters when we believe in Yeshua our Messiah. My prayer is for all mankind to have a greater revelation about the land of the Bible, Israel and God's purpose for His people…I believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever and He hears us when we ask anything according to His will. Therefore, we welcome your prayer requests and request your prayerful and financial support as we do God's will.
