As believers, we are not here to be comfortable but to pose a threat to the powers of darkness. We are the frontline of the spiritual war that rages around us. Our most powerful weapon of warfare is PRAYER! Prayer is a force that transcends boundaries and connects us to God’s divine authority, allowing us to defeat the adversary’s dark plans. Intimidation The Opposition The enemy will always fiercely resist growth and breakthrough. Jesus warned us that persecution will be part of our lives as believers and that we should find encouragement in the fact that we are targeted (Matthew 5:11-12). It means we are on the right path. Over the past 20 years, our congregation, Beit Hallel in Ashdod, has faced all types of persecution, pressure, and opposition. However, the intimidation has only strengthened them, fueling growth and expanding the Kingdom’s influence.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Just recently, the Gospel message was brought to over 500 non-believing Jews and countless gave their hearts to the Lord. We have also been busy during these months of war, mobilizing teams to expand our reach to help so many families and soldiers with the message of hope and salvation. More people than ever before and our ministry only continues to grow. This is a testament to the power of prayer and your unwavering support. Glory to God!
Unfortunately, our Beit Hallel congregation in Ashdod is now being targeted through legal loopholes. An attack in the form of legal battles over the usage of our congregational facilities has been launched.
