Friends, we have just discovered a glitch in this email system which prevents many potential subscribers to receive our updates. This has caused a great deal of frustration to me and to them!  Consequently we have found another system of communication.  Fortunately this new system allows us to include pictures, but unfortunately there's a monthly charge.
You'll shortly recieve a duplicate of this report with pictures!  Please feel free to distribute to those  you know, but keep my name OUT and...

Even as we're preparing for Yom Kippur service tonight, our thoughts go to next week's celebration of The Feast of Tabernacles:
 
FEAST OF TABERNACLES
5:00 PM - 8:30
IMMANUEL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
909 NE 30TH ST.

Come;
help build and decorate a sukkah,
hear again the wonderous story of God's provision and protection of Israel during her 40 years of wandering
listen to the words of Jesus as He celebrated the holiday
...

Because there is such power and unity in corporate prayer, God commanded His people to gather on the Day of Atonement to seek His face to heal their land.
Tomorrow,  Sunday, September 27th, at sundown begins the 24 hour "feast of the Lord" known as Yom Kippur.
It is more than appropriate that we gather together to lift our voices in prayer and supplication for America and Israel.
Please join me and intercessors around the world to observe this very holy day.

YOM KIPPUR -
Day of National Repentance -
SUNDAY-MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 26-27
For those in the Portland, Oregon area, please join me to pray for Israel and America.  God's Word specifies this "Feast of the Lord" for the intercessory repentance for the people and the nation.  (Leviticus 23:26-32)
The entire chapter of Leviticus 16 details the ministry of the High Priest on that day.  It was the only time he was allowed into the Holy of Holies.
Then, the entire book of Hebrews details how...

Greetings to you all in the mighty name of Yeshua (Jesus!).  Scripture commands that we  pray for our government leaders, respecting them and the office to which God Himself has elevated them.  At the same time we need to always remember that it is God who directs the heart of the king.
For me, as I look at the current relationship between Israel and America (both countries I claim as my own) I can see God's hand priming the pump for...

This past week-end I exhibited the book at the Oregon Christian Home School Convention.  God brought to our table those with a heart already prepared to celebrate or to learn about the feasts.  Many had been exposed to teaching about the feasts, but were looking for a resource which gave them more freedom to adapt...
