 As I think you already know, I recently started a nonprofit online news service from Jerusalem. The objective of the Jerusalem Journal is to provide news from Israel, for believers, especially watchmen, around the world.
I am convinced that, at the very least, the stage is set for end-time events. Now more than ever there is a need for well-informed believers.
What you might not know is that God prompted me to set up the Jerusalem Journal without an income, using a few thousand dollars in personal savings. He made it clear I was not to solicit support until the website was up.
Well, it is up. And this is my request for your support.
During this morning's prayer time, I was reminded that Yeshua and his disciples lived on the financial support of others. Among the writers of the Gospels, only Luke mentions this, probably because his primary research source was Yeshua's mother. Also, as a physician, Luke had a unique concern for, and awareness of, physical needs.
Here is what he wrote in the first few verses of chapter eight:
After this, Yeshua traveled from one city and village to another, spreading the Good News about God’s kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him. Also, some women were with him. They had been cured from evil spirits and various illnesses. These women were Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; Joanna, whose husband Chusa was Herod’s administrator; Susanna; and many other women. They provided financial support for Yeshua and his disciples.
Will you be one who, like these remarkable women, goes "with" me to establish and grow the Jerusalem Journal? News that comes from Jerusalem, with Israeli perspectives, and is specifically aimed for God's end-time believers around the world?
But that isn't all. I am also asking for your spiritual gifts, your unique talents. The Jerusalem Journal needs someone to take charge of marketing; another to book speaking engagements for Jerusalem Journal journalists; another to supervise all accounting; another to take charge of Classified Ads. There is also a need for a handful of advisors.
Also, referrals. Who do you know that is likely to have a passion for this?
And, of course, prayer. Spiritual warfare here is uniquely intense. Your prayer cover is invaluable.
From Jerusalem; well, Bethlehem, actually; but I can see the Mount of Olives from here :-)
