Messianic believers in Israel request prayer for the town of Arad following recent opposition to the Messianic congregation.
At the end of August, a Messianic congregation, Hasdey Yeshua, was meeting in a warehouse facility in Arad, south Israel, when a group of 20-30 ultra-Orthodox Jews belonging to the Gur Hassidim gathered to protest the meeting by cursing and hurling religious slogans. An exaggerated and provocative version of events was then reported by Israeli news portal Arutz 7 on 31 August.
Later, a journalist from Israel Today contacted the congregation and published a corrected version of events, emphasising that the Messianic Jews were praying for the protesters.
More recently, the Gur Hassidim have been trying to spread their influence in Arad in an aggressive manner, putting up signs and posters attacking the mayor and the secular community with regards to eating and dressing customs.
A leader of Hasdey Yeshua requests prayer: “Please pray for the peace of our city and for the protection of our mayor. Please also pray for our Messianic community here in Arad in this time of spiritual darkness that we might shine brightly with the love of Yeshua to both the secular and the ultra-orthodox.”

- Please pray the Lord will protect the mayor and Messianic community in Arad. May wise counsel prevail and peace be restored to the community.
- Pray this recent opposition will be used by the Lord to spread His message of love and salvation through Christ Jesus.
- Pray this will become an opportunity for the Messianic Jews to become more widely accepted by the community in Arad and have a positive influence on both religious and secular sections of society.

The only way to Heaven.
If We want go to unknow place that We do not know the way to unknow place,
We need person that He ever go to that place or person from that place
pick up us, so We do not get lost
This way of thinking is very reasonable and It can accept by our logic.
If We want go to Heaven, we need person that He know the way go to
Heaven or person from Heaven go to the Earth and He able go back
again to Heaven. The person is Jesus, He go back to Heaven
witnessed by his disciples (Acts 1:9-11), so Jesus does not have
Grave on the Earth. Jesus able bring You to Heaven, But another person
that his grave on the Earth, then You does not know his soul and his spirit go to
Heaven or go to Hell. This person is not sure bring You to Heaven.
How to follow Jesus by follow his word and do it.
How to know his word by reading bible every day.

I find it interesting that the comments don’t speak specifically to the article and problems for Messianic Jews in Arad. But obviously there are a lot of suffering people who have big needs but a strong belief in Jesus.
However, even though I’ve arrived here a couple of years after this post, Jesus led me directly here. So even though I do pray for the “peace of Israel” in general during these tumultuous times, I will specifically focus on Arad and her Believing community as they reach out while continuing to stand firm. You are NOT alone! Jesus’ heart is for you and now so is my own. Love Laura-Lee 🇨🇦😔
