I had the great privilege of knowing Ehud Ben Yehuda as a dear friend when I lived in Jerusalem in the early 1970’s. I also knew his younger sister, Dola. Both were in their 70’s. They were two of the three living children of Eliezer and his second wife Hemda. The story of their father’s work and mission in life against unthinkable odds is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

My name is Anat Brener. For twelve years I have been serving the Lord ministering to people involved in prostitution and drugs near the Old Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv.

For the last six years, our organization, “Chayim Be’Shefa” (Abundant Life), has been operating a day center called “The Red Carpet.” The girls who come to the center are involved in prostitution; they are drug addicts and homeless. They come to receive food, take a shower, treat their hair and nails, get some clean clothes, and sleep. They know of our faith and allow us to pray for them on a regular basis.

A few months ago, my good friend Ido, who is a new believer at our congregation, had to give a speech in the framework of a course he was taking. During his speech, he decided to share about the process of deliverance he had experienced at Tiferet Yeshua. Even though he did not mention the name of Yeshua, it was clear that there would be people from the audience who would ask him for more details at the end of his speech.

We have been married for almost a year and live near Haifa. Both of us are 28 years old and professional English teachers. About two months before the flight to the U.S. we realized that Dana is pregnant, and we considered canceling the trip out of concern for the well-being of our baby. We prayed, decided to go anyway, and were blessed due to this decision.

Happy New Year 5779!  We are one year closer to the Coming of Messiah!

This month we have shared with you an important part of Maoz’ ministry—publishing books of faith to encourage and equip Israeli believers, as well as books to reach the lost.

When we published our first series of Hebrew books in 1978, it seemed completely absurd.
