Winter Survival Help Urgently Needed
Dear,
Geovany fought the Nazis bravely in World War II as a member of the Russian army. His company became involved in one battle so fierce that out of 101 soldiers, only Geovany and one other survived.
Today, this brave former soldier and widower faces a battle of his own in Riga, Latvia. Geovany is fighting failing health and war injuries that have left him unable to care for himself.
However, Geovany’s greatest concern this winter is the same one faced by thousands of other elderly Jews in this region – the danger of living in bitter cold in poorly heated, or even unheated, dilapidated shacks.
Your gift of:
$25
will deliver a warm blanket to a Holocaust survivor
$75
will provide heating assistance to an older widow or couple
$150
will ensure food, heat this winter,
and help purchasing medications
And for those we support in Ukraine, the situation continues to grow darker, as gas lines have been broken due to unrest in the region.
This is why The Fellowship is addressing this huge need through our lifesaving Operation Winter Warmth campaign for thousands of Jewish elderly in the former Soviet Union and also in Israel.
This outreach of compassion is providing winter essentials such as heat, warm blankets, and food for these most vulnerable Jewish men and women in the twilight of their lives.
The needs for this vital, annual ministry effort are significant, and that is why I am urgently asking for your help. Today, you can make a life-enabling difference in the lives of those who have already suffered so deeply.
The Bible instructs us, “Do not say to your neighbour, ‘Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you’ – when you already have it with you” (Proverbs 3:28). We have today to help vulnerable, older Jews in the former Soviet Union and Israel. Please do all you can to join us as we ease their suffering this winter.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President
PS   Your gift to Operation Winter Warmth will help provide food, medicine, heating fuel, and other essential care items. For the sake of the Jewish people who need you, please send your much-needed gift now. Shalom!

Acción de gracias por dones espirituales

Gracias doy a mi Dios siempre por vosotros, por la gracia de Dios que os fue dada en Cristo Jesús;   porque en todas las cosas fuisteis enriquecidos en él, en toda palabra y en toda ciencia;   así como el testimonio acerca de Cristo ha sido confirmado en vosotros,   de tal manera que nada os falta en ningún don, esperando la manifestación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo;   el cual también os confirmará hasta el fin, para que seáis irreprensibles en el día de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.   Fiel es Dios, por el cual fuisteis llamados a la comunión con su Hijo Jesucristo nuestro Señor.    Os ruego, pues, hermanos, por el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que habléis todos una misma cosa , y que no haya entre vosotros divisiones , sino que estéis perfectamente unidos en una misma mente y en un mismo parecer .   Porque he sido informado acerca de vosotros, hermanos míos, por los de Cloé, que hay entre vosotros contiendas.   Quiero decir, que cada uno de vosotros dice: Yo soy de Pablo; y y

Pablo reprende a Pedro

Pero cuando Pedro vino a Antioquía, le resistí cara a cara, porque era de condenar. Pues antes que viniesen algunos de parte de Jacobo, comía con los gentiles; pero después que vinieron, se retraía y se apartaba, porque tenía miedo de los de la circuncisión. Y en su simulación participaban también los otros judíos, de tal manera que aun Bernabé fue también arrastrado por la hipocresía de ellos. Pero cuando vi que no andaban rectamente conforme a la verdad del evangelio, dije a Pedro delante de todos: Si tú, siendo judío, vives como los gentiles y no como judío, ¿por qué obligas a los gentiles a judaizar? Nosotros, judíos de nacimiento, y no pecadores de entre los gentiles, sabiendo que el hombre no es justificado por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe de Jesucristo, nosotros también hemos creído en Jesucristo, para ser justificados por la fe de Cristo y no por las obras de la ley, por cuanto por las obras de la ley nadie será justificado. Y si buscando ser justificados en Cristo, tamb

Eternal Life: Do You Want It?

Aug 29, 2013 Read | 1 John 5:3-12 Good health, it seems, is on everyone’s mind these days. Books about the latest, greatest fad diets top the bestseller list. Nutrition stores and health clubs pop up all over town—at times right next door to fast food restaurants. And late-night television is constantly unveiling a flood of gadgets and gizmos, all designed to get you into “the best shape of your life” (and with the promise of minimal effort and commitment). Why is the health industry such a booming business? It’s because longevity is a major concern: most people have an innate desire to live as long as they can. But in addition to wanting quantity of years, people also want the highest quality life possible. Yet this emotional need for a long, robust life is most frequently centered around the physical world. What about life after death? Scripture makes it absolutely clear that eternal life is available to every person on earth (Rom. 10:13). Sickness, disease, and death
