Love For His People http://www.loveforhispeople.net
Many of you know and recognize "this" Steve Martin, not from his comedic movies, but from his years of service as the US Administrative Director for Vision For Israel, Director of Finances & Operations with Derek Prince Ministries, as well as Administrator for All Nations Church & Mahesh Chavda Ministries. Steve's service in ministry has given him connections to ministries around the world. The main arm of this new ministry, "Love For His People", will be as a humanitarian aid outreach, established to enable individuals, families, churches, congregations and businesses, from the USA and other countries, to “adopt” a Messianic Believer and/or family in Israel, in order to aid in financial support, intercede in regular prayer, and to encourage with any means available. When possible, a trip with Love For His People to Israel to visit them would also be encouraged. An online store will be put in place in order to support Messianic Believers in The Land, by purchasing Israeli-crafted gifts, food and services from them. Valuable teaching books and media from additional sources will be available to assist individuals and institutions in training, instruction and personal encouragement. "Ahava Adventures", business and church sponsored journeys to Israel, Africa and elsewhere, will be provided for young people, in their twenties and thirties, to meet and share their gifts with the youth and others we have connections with in these locations. As the ministry begins in 2010, it's a great time to get on board and to show your "Love For His People".
