Benevolence Ministries in Israel

Arik and Mona P. - Ministry to Single Mothers

By Myer K.

Arik and Mona P. work in Israel, in a ministry that they call "A Sign and a Wonder." It is a discipleship ministry focused on single mothers, with the goal of counseling, discipleship and helping to restore their sense of self respect and confidence in the Lord. The emphasis of the ministry is on healing, lifestyle and mindset changes that flow from the inside out. The counseling involves both teaching and application that takes the women through lessons and encounters with the Lord based on the model of the Tabernacle. At the various stages of their journey, they go from the Gate to the Outer Court to the Menorah to the Table of Showbread and finally to the Holy of Holies. Each encounter brings them closer and closer to the main issues in their lives and to the heavenly answers to their problems. God's Word is the emphasis of the teaching and study.

Glossary of Hebrew terms

The creation of the modern State of Israel came about amid a confluence of historical, cultural and spiritual forces with a vocabulary of their own. Here are some Hebrew terms you are likely to come across as Israel celebrates its 60th birthday in 2008.

Aliyah - to immigrate to Israel. To "make aliyah" has an additional, spiritual dimension, for "aliyah" comes from the word that means, "to ascend." In the Scripture, one never merely goes to Jerusalem - one "goes up."

Founders of the Modern State of Israel

Theodor Herzl (1860-1904)

Theodor Herzl, founder of the idea of the Modern State of Israel, if not the nation itself, was born to a German-speaking Jewish family in Pest (now the eastern half of Budapest, Hungary), then a city in Austria-Hungary.

Though his childhood and early journalistic career indicate little interest in Jewish matters, the anti-Semitism he encountered, despite his mainstream European lifestyle, convinced him that the Jewish people would always be treated as strangers in other lands. But it wasn't until Herzl covered the Dreyfus Affair (1895) for a French newspaper that he took action toward the creation of a Jewish nation.

God's Roadmap to Peace

By David Sedaca

The year 2008 ended with another battle between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group in control of Gaza. As soon as the truce ended in early December, Hamas began raining rockets into southern Israel. Everyone was expecting Israel to fight back, and it attacked the Hamas strongholds in Gaza. Regrettably, there were high civilian casualties as well. When will this cycle of violence end? Is it possible for Israel to live in peace with its Arab neighbors? To understand this conflict, we must consider Israel's recent history.
