2010 ANNUAL MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER BANQUET

Here is a link to a flyer about our 2010 Model Passover Seder (PDF). We hope you will be able to attend and bring neighbors, friends, colleagues, and relatives with you—especially those who do not yet know the Lord! This is a wonderful evangelistic outreach.

To keep the cost of each meal at $15, we still need to raise $2,109—our goal is to raise a total of $7,500 because each meal actually costs us $45. Please pray with us that the Lord will raise up people who will contribute $10, $20, $100, or even more for our 2010 Passover Project. God is able! Thus far, 35 people have given offerings of $5,391. If we exceed our fundraising goal, additional money will be used to advertise this event on a local radio station with a highly educated Jewish listener base, and to run advertising in Tulane University’s student newspaper.

If you can send an offering of any amount, please make your check out to CJF Ministries and designate it for the 2010 New Orleans Passover Project. You can mail your offering to CJF Ministries, PO Box 345, San Antonio, TX 78292 or to CJF Ministries PO BOX 23054, New Orleans, LA 70183-0054.

We hope you will be in prayer with us for all the details to fall into place. Our annual Messiah in the Passover banquet is the most important event we hold each year.

2009 KATRINA RELIEF TEAM

For the fifth time since Hurricane Katrina hit the coast of Louisiana, we hosted a team of young people from Branson, Missouri who helped us continue to meet the recovery needs of Jewish people in our community. Pictured below are six members of this team along with a couple of local women who volunteered their time to help. Barbara (in pink) and Skip (in blue) needed a new coat of paint on the trim around their home and work done around their backyard.

This year’s team of 18 also cut down trees in three additional locations, and helped a family displaced since September of 2005 move back into their home. We cannot tell you how grateful we are for the staff and students of Doulos Ministries in Branson. What a blessing it is to have them join us as we meet not only the spiritual needs, but also the recovery needs of families in the greater New Orleans area.

2009 MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS

Wow, what a year it was. As expected, in the midst of a full-blown recession, God moved—drawing many people to Himself. During 2009 we were privileged to lead 54 people to the Lord. Here are highlights of those decisions:

• After sharing Messiah in the Passover in a Christian school, 10 middle school students asked Jesus into their hearts for the first time. A family of three—father, mother, and daughter—accepted the Lord at a congregational meeting, and one young woman attending a Mardi Gras parade came to the Lord through this ministry!
• Many fruitful conversations took place as we distributed 9,000 tracts at the University of New Orleans, Tulane University, and the New Orleans International Airport. I was privileged to return to the Tulane University campus for a second time to speak to an undergraduate class about messianic Judaism. I discipled five people—three Jewish and two Gentiles—and spoke in 54 churches, conferences, and women’s meetings.
• I am also excited about the response to our monthly Shabbat dinners. Participation has been growing.

PRAYER REQUESTS

• Pray that those who come to our Model Seder will invite friends who do not know the Lord. Pray for the musicians, hotel staff, and volunteers. Pray for everything to run smoothly, and that many will come to a personal relationship with Yeshua.
• Please continue to pray for my childhood friend, Shoshanna Bat Baliya, as she continues her battle against liver cancer. Pray for her healing—spiritually and physically.
• Pray for the healing and salvation of Mr. U, Mr. and Mrs. D, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Please continue to pray for a man battling a lifelong illness, and that he would open his heart to Yeshua.
• Our daughter and her husband are still unemployed. Please pray they would find full-time jobs in their respective fields, Monique in Human Rights law and Joshua in full-time messianic Jewish ministry.
