Please join us in praying for the upcoming activities and events.

Youth Follow-up Service Project: The youth from the July Desert Encounter plan to serve the elderly in the Israeli community, by helping them with home repairs and remodeling.

Post-Army, Post-Intifada Desert Encounter Follow-Up

Following the picnic on November 13, the participants in September’s Desert Encounter agreed to meet on several occasions for a variety of projects. They want to join in some teaching on both Palestinian and Jewish history and culture. In addition, they are planning a visit to hardship places and a social service project.

Theology of the Land book: Throughout the past few years, a theological consultation has been held in Cyprus and Bethlehem, with Palestinian, Jewish and Western believers participating. We have been asked to publish a collection of the articles that have been presented concerning the theology of the land. We feel that it is important that the body of Messiah have a full range of discussion on this vital and timely subject. Please join us in praying that the details of printing and producing this book will be completed by the end of the year.

Women’s Meeting: The women in the Jerusalem area are planning to meet a third time on December 13, to share in Christmas thoughts and traditions. It will also be a time of prayer for the upcoming women’s conference. In Haifa, women continue to meet and ask for your prayers that the Lord will direct and give them a vision for the future of the gathering.

Women’s Conference: Musalaha’s fifth annual women’s conference will take place at Tantur on January 14 and 15; the theme is "Ready and Waiting."In light of expectations surrounding the turn of the millennium, it is timely to examine our attitudes and expectations. What are we waiting for and are we prepared. In these difficult times, as women living in this conflicted part of the world, we want to focus on our Lord, our common hope and expectation. Please pray for the women’s committee and office staff as we prepare for this conference, and that the Lord will bring participants who can benefit from and contribute to this gathering.
