One of the hardest concepts for any believer to understand, especially when being honest about personal failures and shortcomings, is that a holy God, knowing who we really are, could love us. Most believers know the price that Messiah Jesus paid when He came to this earth to die as a sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world. The agony, suffering, heartache and rejection He endured in order to bring us to a right relationship with God is unimaginable. Even John the apostle who actually walked and lived with Jesus was amazed at God’s care for us. Later in his life, when musing about God’s love for us wrote “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God.” Recently I read something that humbled me even more when trying to grasp God’s love. It was the ‘Aaronic blessing,’ written in the original, ancient Hebrew. |

In Israel you never say, “It can’t be done!” While many schools around the world struggle to teach their children the basics hoping that by the time they leave grade school they can read, write and do some math, there is a school in Israel with a different approach. In a poorer section of Rishon L’Tzion, Israel’s forth-largest city, there stands a school called Yadlin, where over 30% of the children come from immigrant families. The prominent feature of Yadlin is a team of tenaciously dedicated teachers and leaders devoted to creating scientists---elementary school scientists! Through their efforts the students of this amazing school have achieved the top 10% ranking in the educational system of Israel. |

Almost two years ago, JSC office manager Ira Lukomsky gave birth to twin girls, Moriah and Eden. Born premature, the girls progressed well, however, little Eden has had a few struggles with her respiratory system. Several weeks ago, Eden became so ill that she was admitted to the hospital. Her condition worsened to the point that she was kept in a medically induced coma for days on end. The prognosis from doctors was grim and they really did not believe she would survive. A call to prayer was sent out from MTI and the family on behalf of little Eden. The MTI Prayer Network was activated, notes were put on the MTI twitter feed and facebook pages, asking people to cry out on behalf of one of Israel’s tiniest citizens. At just 18 months, Eden was in a fight for her life. After weeks of uncertainty, the miraculous took place. Eden began improving. This stunned doctors and nurses, alike, so much so that they began calling here “The Miracle”. |
