Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
Steve Lightle of Ebenezer Emergency Fund is the bestselling author of Exodus II and Operation Exodus II.
Steve, a former businessman from Seattle, has lived in Israel and, as a keynote speaker, now travels the world extensively. Being an onsite intercessor, he has witnessed the breakup of Communism in the former Soviet Union, the rebuilding of Israel, and current turmoil in many nations. For 25 years since its start, Steve has been actively involved with Operation Exodus assisting Jewish migrants return to Israel.
Steve has a message for both Christians and the Jewish people today. He will be sharing insights into the deep current issues in the Middle East, the re-gathering of the exiles of Israel, the spiritual battle entailed, and the importance of intercessory prayer. Also, amazing testimonies of the Lord’s valiant intervention on behalf of His Jewish people.
It’s that time of the year. If you would like to nominate another member for the committee, please send your nomination to our secretary, Rebecca (contact details below).
After the AGM we will be showing a hilarious episode of “Yes Prime Minister”, the episode when PM Jim Hacker discovers what his Ministry of Foreign Affairs really thinks about Israel.
Please bring a plate of finger food. Of course, please exclude any pork and seafood products.
