A night to honour God

In November 2011 there were two special nights: on the 23rd in Dudley and on the 24th in Cardiff. Both had a shared theme: 'A night to honour Israel'. During those nights we, as NEM representatives, had the opportunity to talk about reconciliation as seen through the ministry of NEM. 

Each gathering gave us an opportunity to share with Jews and Gentiles about how God has led NEM in the work that it undertakes in the Middle East and NEM's vision taken from Isaiah 19:23-25. On both occasions both groups were happy to see that NEM works with Jews and Arabs.  

The highlight for us came from the keynote speaker, Josh Reinstein (Director of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus), who commented that these nights should have been called 'Nights to Honour God' rather than 'Nights to Honour Israel'. He said he found it sad that churches were unable to see the miracles of God's prophecies unfolding before their eyes. He encouraged us to continue to pray, but also to speak out against false reporting and replacement theology.

There are people who have no one left and many don't get visitors anymore. It feels good to be able to offer these people a home.' Read more...
