Tikvah Rabah

Our group of dedicated crafters met on September 14th to complete our first quilts!  The air was buzzing with excitement as we spread our efforts across TWO ROOMS in our congregation.   After each quilt was smoothed and ready, we offered heartfelt prayers to the Heavenly throne that Yeshua (Jesus) would use these gifts of our hearts to erase the pain in the Survivor's hearts.  May the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) wrap these Survivors in His love and reveal Yeshua to them.   We were blessed to have experienced quilters to help us figure out the ins and outs - and those of us with less experience quickly got into the groove.   We've only just begun ... Join the Journey - we meet again Sunday, September 28th 1-4.   All skill levels welcome.   (Enjoy these pictures by Heidi)

Funny how G-d works. What started out as a conversation between Glenda and Dudley of Israel Food Outreach, (we thought we were going to be able to use their cargo ship to get our 400 + hats/scarves to Israel), unfolded to become our newest project: Making quilts for the Holocaust Survivors in Israel! Israel Food Outreach partners with Gleanings for the Hungry to get these quilts to the precious survivors. We are humbled and blessed to be Yeshua's hands on this project! And, we really appreciate the enthusiasm we have received for this project! Just so we are all on the same page, here’s our plan of action! Now: We are in the preparation phase. We should be washing, sorting, ironing and cutting squares at this point. If you have fabric you have taken home, please continue to iron and cut squares and feel free to bring back your cut squares so we may organize them by similar color tones. We would like to have cutting and sewing already designed tops at h...

Glenda was blessed to find a yard sale featuring only fabric!  We got such a beautiful selection at a bargain price.  He IS The G-d who provides for our needs.   We're feeling very blessed as we move towards partnering with Israel Food Outreach and Gleanings for the Hungry in the Quilts for Holocaust Survivor Project.   We look forward to having  you join us on Sunday, August 3rd as we introduce the project! We meet at Rehoboth Messianic Congregation from 1-4.  Light refreshments served.   ** non- sewers welcome to come and bring their craft projects as well ** Rehoboth Messianic Congregation is located at:  3504 NE 49th St in Vancouver, WA.  

We have several scheduling conflicts with trying to squeeze in a Craft-a - Long in July.  After careful consideration, we have decided to have our next event August 3rd 1:00 tp 3 or 4 ish. This will be an important meeting to attend as we reveal our newest project and I'm sure you won't want to miss it!   I have often felt that this ministry is gently unfolding - similar to how a tea bud reveals itself in hot water. The L-rd has taken our hands and slowly guided us step by step down what sometimes feels like our feet unsure along a rocky path.  But, as we know, (and I hope YOU do know) that Yeshua is our Safety Net and He never takes us where we "can't" go.  I've heard it said:  "Yeshua doesn't always call the equipped but He always equips the called".  And, when He finds us faithful with little, He gives us more.   As we wrap up the sewing of 100 pillowcase dresses for immigrant girls, and as we have gathered nearly 400 hats for H...

Here's five facts for this Friday: According to a survey in 2012 by the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel: * Tens of thousands of elderly Holocaust Survivors in Israel live in abject poverty, unable to afford basic essentials  * One in five Holocaust Survivors in Israel is hungry * 14% are financially unable to purchase necessary medications * More than 2/3 of the Survivors have incomes of half the median in Israel * 40% of Survivors often feel very lonely and rarely leave their homes for activities or entertainment.  Their number one complaint is simple loneliness as many of them have no living relatives.   The majority of the Survivors have lived their lives without understanding the love of their Messiah.  Our desire is to show them Kindness and Compassion, doing what we can to honor and bless them in tangible ways.  We can help them live out their remaining years with dignity, feeling the love of and care ...
