Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you.
Psalm 132:13-18
For Adonai has chosen Tziyon, He has wanted it as His home. "This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so much want to. I will bless it with plenty of meat, I will give its poor their fill of food. Its cohanim (priests) I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy. I will make a king sprout there from David's line and prepare a lamp for my Anointed One. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on Him there will be a shining crown." Messianic Israeli Ministries Supported by Beit Yeshua
One of the goals in Beit Yeshua's vision is to bless Israel and the Jewish people, (a) Financially, (b) Spiritually through prayer and (c) Personal through one-on-one contact. One of the ways we accomplish the financial part of that goal is by financially investing into Messianic Israeli Ministries that we've become familiar with in our 18 years as a "Messianic/Jewish-Roots Ministry. Beith Yeshua has no overhead so about 99.9 % of the money that comes in, goes out to Israeli Ministries. We currently have seven ministries that we support on a monthly basis.

Name of Ministry Leaders Location Christian Friends of Israel - Jerudalem Ray & Sharon Saunders Jerusalem, ISRAEL Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem was founded by Ray & Sharon Sanders (non-Jewish Believers) in 1985. Ray was ordained to the ministry through Christ For the Nations. CFIJ is a humanitarian-aid ministry, similar to Samaritan's Purse here in the US, with its international headquarters located in Jerusalem. Their US headquarters is located in Charlotte. The ministry has 11 ministry outreaches. Beit Yeshua has chosen to sponsor Project David's Shield. (1) Project David's Shield: Project David’s Shield aims to stand in solidarity with the stated mission of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). The best armies in the world are the ones that believe in what they are doing so much that they will make any sacrifice to further the cause and accomplish their mission. We have a responsibility as Christian Friends of Israel, here in Jerusalem, and from the Nations, to let the Israeli soldiers know that we love and support the IDF and to remind them who they are. We strive to remind them that they don’t fight their battles alone, and that the God of Israel is with them. We are able to tell them that they have millions of people around the world who pray for them daily! The Army of Israel is fighting on the earthly battleground. Will you stand in the gap and petition God on behalf of the Land and the people who are called by his name? The funds stipulated for Project David's Shield go specifically to meet the needs of IDF soldiers. Other areas of CFIJ ministry include: (2) Bridal Salon: Providing beautiful wedding gowns, tuxedos, evening gowns and accessories gifted by believers to bless people in Israel, (3) Communities Under Attack: Ministering to families who have been under rocket attack. These families have suffered physical injuries, depression, sleepless nights, severe anxiety and stress with children developing symptoms of PTSD at an early age, (4) First Fruits: Ministering to local Gentile & Arab Pastors in need, (5) Forsake Them Not: Ministering to Holocaust Survivors, (6) Hope For the Future: Ministering to Ethiopian Jewish Communities, (7) Media & Development, (8) Open Gates: Assisting new immigrants, (9) Streams of Blessings: Ministering to the Elderly, (10) Under His Wings: Ministering to families who experience terrorism, and (1) Wall of Prayers: Building a spiritual wall of protection around Israel.
Name of Ministry Leaders Location Dugit Outreach Center Avi & Chaya Mizrachi Tel Aviv, ISRAEL Avi Mizrachi is an Israeli Messianic evangelist called to minister the love and life of Yeshua to the people of Israel. Avi was born in Tel Aviv-Jaffa in a Jewish home. While visiting his sister in America, he gave his life to Yeshua. In the same year he also met and married his wife, Chaya, and the couple returned to Israel together. In 1985, God opened the door for them to study at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas and after completing their studies they returned to Israel in 1987. In 1993, the Lord led them to open Dugit Outreach Centre in the heart of Tel Aviv, offering free coffee, literature and a listening ear, focusing on evangelism in the city that is called the San Francisco of Israel. Avi also serves as the Senior Pastor of Adonai Roi (The Lord is my Shepherd) – a Messianic Jewish-Hebrew-speaking congregation in Tel Aviv.
Name of Ministry Leaders Location Full Proof Gospel Ministries Jesse & Jamie Boyd Conover, NC, USA Full Proof Gospel Ministries, aka Zerayim Colportage Board, is an international colportage ministry modeled after the historic Baptist Colportage Board and fully committed to the free distribution of the printed Word of God, to the Jewish people FIRST, and ALSO to the Gentile nations. Zerayim endeavors to, (1) Freely distribute printed copies of the Holy Scriptures, (2) Proclaim the Gospel in the public forum, (3) Go into all nations, and (4) Mobilize Gentile churches to invest in reaching the Jewish people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah. This ministry has established a presence amongst Israeli backpackers along the Hummus Trails in both South Asia and South America and labors to get the Hebrew Scriptures (both Old & New Testaments) into the hands of as many of these as possible. Zerayim is also involved in Jewish Colportage work in the United States and Canada, distributing free copies of the Scriptures to Israelis who commonly work in shopping mall kiosks. One of the unique aspects of Jewish missions involves crossing paths with many types of Gentiles. Zerayim, therefore, is very careful not to disregard these Great Commission opportunities. Jesse Boyd is the founder and director of this ministry. Along with Jesse’s wife, Jamie, and children, Eric & Mindy Trent joined FPGM in the “field” in 2018 and have recommitted for two more years of ministry.

Currently, Richard is the director of Heart of G-d Ministries, helping to plant and build up new congregations in the Land. Carolyn was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home near Chicago, graduated from University of Illinois as an Registered Nurse, and practiced nursing for many years. She led worship at Beth Simcha Congregation for ten years and has served as Worship Chair for the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations in the US.

After adding Full Proof Gospel Ministries to the list of ministries that Beit Yeshua sponsors, we were pleased to have the opportunity to see Eric & Mindy Trent again on
Friday, January 18, 2019, when Beit Yeshua met for Erev Shabbat at Chuck & Janice Anthony's home in Lincolnton, NC.
FPGM - Jesse & Jamie Boyd
After having Eric & Mindy Trent with us on Friday, January 18, 2019, we were blessed with a visit from Jesse & Jamie Boyd and their children on Friday, February 1, 2019, when Beit Yeshua met for Erev Shabbat at Chuck & Janice's home. We were also privileged to have them with us for Beit Yeshua's 17th annual Pesach Seder in the Family Life Center at Covenant Church.
VFI - Barry & Batya Segal Beit Yeshua was pleased and honored to host Barry & Batya Segal of Vision For Israel on Friday, April 5, 2019, at the home of Chuck & Janice Anthony.
Since the event was to take place at Chuck & Janice's home, we didn't advertise - but still ended up with an attendance of about 45
We were so pleased to have some of our friends from Highway To Zion with usBarry brought his guitar with him and he & Batya lead us into a wonderful time of praise and worship using some of the songs they had written 
After praise and worship, Barry ministered and updated us on current events in Israel 
This was the third time we've been blessed to host VFI, originally in 2003 and again in 2011 in the Family Life Center of Covenant Church in Lincolnton, NC. In addition to the Segals coming to Lincolnton, Beit Yeshua joined them for conferences in Fort Mill, SC, in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2018. Beit Yeshua Leadership joined VFI for a Birthday Party for Barry in 2008. In 2009, Beit Yeshua was given approximately $12,000 worth of new coats which we donated to VFI in 2010. Doug Williams, Paul Miles and Barry Finley helped to package those coats for shipping to Israel. In 2009 Vision For Israel, Highway To Zion and Beit Yeshua co-hosted a Hanukkah Celebration at the VFI store and warehouse in Pineville. Beit Yeshua Leadership, Curtis & Carolyn Loftin, as well as Doug & Lynda Williams, took our first trip to Israel in 2005 with Vision For Israel. Barry rode on the buses and shared his brand of humor while touring. That tour coincided with the Feast of Sukkot and we were able to attend the conference that VFI was hosting in Jerusalem. At the end of the service, we moved into a time of food and fellowship. Mike Vance (also from VFI) brought some materials for a product table and everyone was given a VFI Israeli Calendar. For some of our group, this was their first time seeing the Segals and for some it was the first time they've been able to talk to them. Even though Barry & Batya are founders of a multi-million-dollar ministry, they are still just "down home folk". We hope to have them back in the future.

PESACH / PASSOVER
Beit Yeshua hosted its 17th annual Pesach Seder on Friday, April 19th, 2019, in the Family Life Center of Covenant Church in Lincolnton, NC. Attendance for the 200-seat-event increased slowly this year but we did reach maximum registration of 200. There were several severe storms in the area the night of the Seder and parts of Lincolnton were without power for the entire evening. The lights did flicker in the Family Life Center but we never lost power - even though houses just a few miles down the road did. Ultimately the storm hindered our attendance for the evening but we did have about 150 brave souls who endured the storms and long drives to join us for the first night of Passover. Fellowship before the Seder is always so sweet

Zechariah 12:2-3,10
2“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. 3“It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.
10“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
