Dear
Jorge,
The utter folly of our leaders who are trying to appease Iran by making it easier for them to destroy Israel overlooks the clear and convincing evidence that we are on their list for destruction. As my friend, Prime Minister Netanyahu, pointed out in an interview I did several years ago, Israel is only the “little Satan” while America is the “great Satan.” As a matter of political reality, as a matter of common sense, and most importantly, as a matter of obedience to God, we MUST stand in defense of Israel. Today, I am asking for your help in this urgent cause. I will be in Israel during Passover next week, and in addition to working on your Friends of Zion Heritage Center, I will do everything I can to bless and help meet the urgent humanitarian needs of God's Chosen People. This is a critical time for the Jewish state, and they need to know that we are standing with them in these dark days. There is a great opportunity for us to show God's love to His Chosen People, if we act right now. With the ongoing work at your Friends of Zion Heritage Center, our urgent work to deliver food to the poor, our community center for Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem, and so much more, the needs are great right now. We must raise $175,000 before I leave for Israel next week. So far 35 friends have given $4,450. Please send your gift of love today so that the work to bless God's Chosen People can continue. |

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
