Missions endeavors in Israel are also a part of Yeshuan Ministries. In 2004, while I was in San Pedro, California, God spoke to my spirit & told me to direct the bulk of our giving toward Israel. I inquired of Him what the venue for this giving was to be; &, upon my return to our home, in Jacksonville, Florida, discovered the answer awaiting me on the coffee table! At that time, I had not yet heard of IFCJ, the (International Fellowship of Christians & Jews); &, they would certainly have had no way of knowing me! As was the case for (then Saul), who became Paul; &, Annonias, we too were brought together by The Hand of God, according to the guidance & direction of The Holy-Spirit! We immediately entered into partnership with the IFCJ, participating in the On Wings of Eagles portion of their ministry, during the course of the next 5 years, providing for the aliyah (return to The Promised Land) of more than 60 Jews, who had been oppressed in the nations that they had been scattered to.
We were scheduled to travel to Israel in February of 2009; but, our accomodations fell through. We were to learn why, during a pastoral seminar, of which we had no prior knowledge of having even been planned. This seminar was conducted throughout the week, beginning February 9th, during which time we were in attendance. It was during this time of instruction that we were to gain clear direction, as to one among the roles & focus of Yeshuan Ministries.
We fully recognize that this is not our ministry: It is His ministry! As He has given us stewardship over this portion of His ministry, accordingly, we have full faith & confidence that He will, indeed, ensure its' success! While we did receive $845 in donations, prior to leaving The U.S.; &, too, a peso equivelant of $30, since our arrival in The Philippines, we have engaged in these endeavors, soley, by Abrahamic faith! (See financial reports page).
We sincerely believe that The Word of God is Truth; &, that it is all powerful & sufficient, in & of itself! We stand firm on this Truth, that there is no neccessity for God's Word to be married with the world's system, at any time, regardless of circumstance: It is all powerful & all sufficient!!! Therefore, we shall remain fully commited & faithful to carry out this mission!
Furthermore, as per God's command that we acknowledge Him in all our ways, we believe that this applies to the area of giving, as well. Therefore it is critical that any donations made to Yeshuan Ministries are made, according to the guidance & direction of The Holy-Spirit, as should be the case with gifts to any ministry!
We consider it to be both an honor & a priviledge to be in His service, as well as the service of others!
We welcome your prayers for God's ever increasing Favor & strengthening, through Yeshua, toward us, as to the continued success of Yeshuan Ministries: Thank you sooo much! (In Ilongo: Salamat gid!)
We too thank you for your prayerful consideration, where donations to Yeshuan Ministries is concerned!
May The Favor of God continue to abound to you!
Continuing in His service; sincerely, Rev. Philip D. Roberts |
