November - December 2014: Feast Special ReportWe have just celebrated another wonderful Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. After every single Feast, people come and say, “This was the best Feast ever!” In many ways it was always true, as God has showed up every year at Sukkot and in unique ways made each Feast special in its own right. But this year was indeed an historic gathering and we sensed that it was a Feast of many breakthroughs. |

September - October 2014: The Plight of Middle East ChristiansSadly, few global statesmen are citing the plight of the embattled Christians of the Middle East as sufficient cause for standing up to the jihadists. They are more worried about terror finding its way to Western shores, as it did in 9/11 or the London Underground bombings. The region's Christians have largely been abandoned, just as they have been for decades. |

August 2014: The Road to AuschwitzThe road to Auschwitz is not easy. Not for survivors, nor for their descendants, Yad Vashem staff, and the Christians who recently journeyed together to the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka death camps, and the ghettos of Krakow and Warsaw. |

July 2014: Arise Football Camp in BethlehemIn early June, ICEJ Arise joined with a local Arab Christian ministry to host a special football camp in Bethlehem for Arab youths, featuring professional soccer players and coaches from Brazil. During the two-day camp, more than 60 Christian and Muslim boys aged 9 to 14 participated in training sessions and matches with Marcos Tavares, a Brazilian striker who today leads the Slovenian national league in goal scoring with top squad NK Maribor. |

June 2014: The Great IngatheringThis issue focuses on the return of the Jewish people back to their homeland. I pray that these pages will serve as a banner to encourage you about God’s covenant faithfulness with Israel. This is a call to action to get involved with God’s prophetic ingathering of the Jewish people in these last days. |

May 2014: Jesus and the PalestiniansFor many decades, Evangelical support for Israel seemed rock solid. Today, however, many younger Christians in Western churches are hesitant to give Israel the same unconditional support which their parents did. Stories of Palestinian suffering have attracted the sympathy of young Evangelicals, rather than the struggles and triumphs of Israel. |
 |
Apr 2014: The Restoration of IsraelThroughout Scripture, Israel is promised a last-day restoration in the land. This promise rests on the faithful character of God, that He can be trusted to carry out His promises because He cannot lie. This is especially true if it is a covenant promise sworn to by divine oath. |

Mar 2014: The Spirit of ElijahOne of the most exciting passages in the Word of God dealing with restoration can be found in the story of the transfiguration of Jesus. Three of his disciples had the privilege of witnessing the appearance of Moses and Elijah and seeing Jesus transfigured, shining like the sun... |

Jan/Feb 2014: RestorationThere is no question that we are living in times of restoration. Never before was God so active as in the past century in restoring what needs to be restored. Both Israel and the Church have experienced extended periods of divine restoration. God is surely not at the end of this process, as the Word of God tells us the best is yet to come. These are truly exciting days to be alive.... |

Dec 2013: Light of the WorldAs we revisit the Christmas story this holiday season, the Gospel narratives invariably take us back to the humble setting of Christ's birth. Indeed, the Hebrew prophets had foretold that the coming of Israel's promised Messiah-King, the Son of David, would be marked by meekness... |
