BLESSING ISRAELI BELIEVERS & ISRAELI PRO-LIFE
Apr 25th
B.I.B. is going to begin a new chapter...a division for Israel Pro-Life that, Lord willing, will spread across America!
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Isaiah 58:6
We have a very important prayer need for Pro-Life. Blessing Israeli Believers is going to begin a new chapter in this ministry. B.I.B. will have a division for Israel Pro-Life that, Lord willing, will spread across America!
We have begun discussions with organizations who can network this ministry across the country for Israel Pro Life! Please pray for wisdom, favor, finances, co-laborers, and most of all that Israeli babies would be saved!

JOHN MCTERNAN & SANDY SHOSHANI IN ISRAEL- MARCH, 2012
- John McTernan & Sandy Shoshani Pro Life In Israel – March 2012
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7
Sandy Wrote: Sometimes, the needs seem overwhelming, yet God has promised several things when we give our requests to Him: 1. His peace will guard our hearts and minds. 2. His peace will BE with us. 3. He shall supply all of our needs according His abundance. Even when our hearts are troubled by things that seem too great for us – He is always able. Nothing is too difficult for Him. (Jeremiah 32:17)
Prayers & Praises: Baby Adam’s cataracts have returned again in both eyes. Adam will have surgery for the third time in his young life this week, his right eye today Monday and the left eye on Thursday. The doctors don’t know why the cataracts continue to reappear as this is very rare. Please pray for healing.
Pray for Messianic teen conferences going on this week and next during the Passover school break and that the young people would make decisions to pursue God wholeheartedly
Pray for illegal, unregulated abortions to be fined, clinics to be shut, doctors to lose license.
Pray for every women in crisis pregnancy to hear of the option of help before she decides to abort.
Please, pray that the Holy Spirit will touch believers around the world to recognize the atrocity of abortion on their nations and our nations and desire to stop this innocent bloodshed. Perhaps fighting abortion is not ‘politically correct’, but for those who are God-seekers, there is no other option.
Please pray for hearts that turn to God, salvation and repentance of the shedding of innocent blood especially as our nation celebrates Passover and remembers the mighty Hand of God who delivered our nation from slavery to freedom. May God use this Passover to redeem lives again today from the angel of Death.
Sharon: Client “M” has recently given birth and came to the office to show off her baby girl. She brought her 17 1/2 year old sister who is 10 weeks pregnant. “O” is now a client. Pray she will get her life together as she has been in boarding schools and on the streets for most of her life. Client “N” had a horrible miscarriage at 22 weeks. She is still traumatized by it, as it is not her first, and comes on the heels of at least 2 prior abortions. Pray for her for comfort. She also needs a lifestyle change!
Vered: She had a call from a 34 year old, with a 12 year old son. She is single. She has had 3 abortions and is pregnant. She is 3 months along and can’t decide what to do, but seems to lean towards keeping the baby.
Many Blessings,
Sandy and Be’ad Chaim team

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4: 6-8
Sandy Wrote…When anxious, our minds become wrapped around any number of possible scenarios. “What if” becomes the beginning of a lot of sentences: “what if” this doesn’t work out, “what if” that doesn’t work out, “work if” this doesn’t happen, etc.
“What if’s” rarely happen as we imagine them, and even when a difficult situation does present itself, God provides the grace to endure and succeed. Worry will not add a hair to our heads, but it will cause us to take our minds off of the things of God and off of the truth.
The truth is that when we trust God with our needs and cares, He will always meet our needs and give us peace beyond our understanding.
Be'ad Chaim Loves all the Little Ones...Born and Unborn
God is Good:
* Our office was sold last week and we have been given until Aug. 1st to move. I have felt for some time that God is leading us to buy a much bigger office. At this moment, we have only begun to have the finances to buy an office. Please join us today as we seek the Lord for direction, resources, and faith to buy the place that He has ordained. This project is stretching our faith.
* On Tuesday morning, a group is coming from England to plant trees in memory of the unborn in the Ganei Chaim. As always, we want to see healing for all those who have suffered the loss of an unborn child.
Please lift these up in prayer:
* Pray that illegal abortion clinics will be closed and fined. Pray that doctors will lose their licenses for doing illegal abortions.
* Continue to pray for social workers to refer their clients to us as an option to abortion. The term “I have no choice” needs to become obsolete.
* Pray for our outreach to be effective and in God’s appointed places.
* Pray for “S”, an Arab women who will come for counseling this week. Several years ago, we helped her continue her pregnancy until birth although she knew that the baby couldn’t survive. She bravely gave birth, rather than aborting, and saw the baby die several minutes later. Her husband carried the baby from the hospital and buried him. Although she knows that she did the right thing, she still has much pain over her difficult life, the loss of the child and her marriage. Please pray for her.
* Pray for a meeting in Nazareth where I will speak to a group of women on motherhood.
* 17 year old client M would like to move into our women’s shelter, but because of her age, we are not sure that it’s legal without parental consent.
* Continue to pray for baby Adam’s eyes and general development.
* Prayers for health: Baby Netalie has a brain tumor and may have surgery this week. She needs prayer as do her parents. Alem, new mother, has a brain tumor and kidney problems. Pray for healing. M, the daughter of one of our counselors, has cancer. Please pray for her healing and salvation. Continue to pray for new mother S who is very ill.
* SHARON IN JERUSALEM WROTE: A single woman “E” is pregnant by her boyfriend who is in jail on felony charges. A 16 year old is 5 1/2 weeks pregnant by her 16 year old boyfriend. She does not want her parents to know that she will abort.
* MAAYAN IN TIBERIAS SAID: Pray for S who has trouble with her husband. She is 28 years old and wants to have an abortion. Pray for another client, S, who is due in a month in a half. The family situation is very complicated and she is trying to get her own apartment.
* ALA IN BEERSHEVA SAID: Please keep them all in your prayers. They are very stressed out from all the air raids and appreciate our standing with them in prayer.
* VERED IN ACCO SAID: Pray for T who is due in May. She has a disabled child already and the doctors are putting pressure on her to abort because they think there will be something wrong with him. Pray for M who is due May 10th. She is unstable and was living on the streets.
* DVORA IN EILAT SAID: Pray for V because she doesn’t have citizenship and they want to send her back to Uzbekistan. She has been here 4 years. Her baby who was born on March 7th hasn’t been registered.
Many blessings,

PRAY FOR ORIEL IN JERUSALEM
Mar 8th
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in material things. Romans 15:26-27
Written by Brother Dov
Please pray for Oriel (Our partner in Jerusalem), this dear brother has so much pressure and stress due to the nature of his ministry and family related prayer needs. Since he is in the heart of the Old City, getting out the gospel of Yeshua, the spiritual warfare is hot and intense. Oriel’s young son Atar is having epileptic like seizures which puts such anguish in the hearts of the entire family. Additionally, the problems related to the expense of raising a large family in Jerusalem are ever present. The fatigue to these things can be great. We at BIB support Oriel monthly to help with the financial needs.
BIB Partner-Oriel
Please pray:
- Protection from the attacks of the enemy!
- Rest that only Messiah Yeshua can provide!
- Deliverance from the seizures for Atar!
- Financial provision!

Please pray for these request from Israel’s Pro Life Ministry-Be ad Chaim
SHARON IN JERUSALEM WROTE:
A married with 4 children (inc. twins) where the youngest is only 8 months, came upon our site. She is 7 weeks pregnant and does not want this baby. She does not feel up to another child. Pray she will respond positively to what I told her and will call me back. She lives in Samaria.
Another married woman, in the center of the country, has 3 children, also where the youngest is 8 months old. She is 9 weeks pregnant and told me of her determination to have an abortion because she can’t handle it emotionally, physically or financially. She came to us via our website but didn’t seem to read much of it. Her Dr. is apparently pro-life and tried to dissuade her but she is firm in her decision. Her meeting with the Committee was last Wednesday. Pray she didn’t go through with it.
Mother M. is a client who has a 10 month old son and has moved from Jerusalem to Afula to live nearer family. Yesterday, she discovered that she’s 7 weeks pregnant. Shocked, she scheduled an abortion. After lengthy discussion on the phone, she agreed to keep the baby. Sandy and Shibolit will visit her next week. She is very poor and needs a lot of emotional, financial and practical help. Pray for the baby’s father to find work.
ALA IN BEERSHEVA SAID: Client Y.M. gave birth on the 24th. All is well with mother and daughter. Ala has a new client who came via a social worker. They talked a lot on the phone and Ala invited her to come. She is still undecided.
ROBERTA IN RAMAT GAN SAID: Client M. and her baby son, would like to leave the father/ boyfriend and to move into the women’s home in the center of the country. She is now involved with a married man and will need to make major decisions. The management of the home will meet this week to decide whether she can be accepted. Please pray that Client M. will be willing to make wise choices.
SVETA IN THE KRYOT SAID: Pray for calls! Pray for wisdom for Sveta as she searches for a good magazine/ newspaper for us to advertise in.
VERED IN ACCO SAID: Client I. gave birth on the 13th to a boy and named him Inai. Client B. gave birth on the 19th and named her daughter Rebecca. All is well. A woman phoned asking how to abort. A previously homeless Client M. now has an apartment. She has a one and a half year old child and she is six months pregnant.
MAAYAN IN TIBERIAS SAID: Pray for Client N. in Nazareth, who is due in 4 weeks. We are starting to advertise again in Kochav Ha Zafon this week. It should have gone in last week but the lady was on vacation so it didn’t.
DVORA IN EILAT SAID: She spoke with Client V. who is due very soon. Client V. asked for prayer. Pray for Client D.’s baby. He is allergic to milk, and soya milk isn’t great either. He is very red with a rash. Client M. who moved to be with her family in Rishon Le Zion got an apartment though Amidar. She is very happy.

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. Romans 10:1
Report From Blessing Israeli Believers Partners: Ariel & Shayla
'..miraculous return of the Jewish people to Israel and how it is a fulfillment of God’s promises from over 2,400 years ago.'
Thank you for sending out the update about our project, and thank you again for sending the funds for the graphic design!
Quick update on the graphic design: The graphic designer that was going to work on the booklet informed us that he is currently overwhelmed with projects, and recommended that we find another designer if we want to move ahead quickly. Since we do desire to get this powerful evangelistic tool out into the hands of Israelis soon, we are currently approaching another graphic designer. Please pray for God’s perfect will to be accomplished in His timing, and for this booklet to have an appealing design that will draw non-believing Jewish people in to read about God’s love for them.
Here’s a story about “Daniel”, whom I spoke with about Yeshua recently………I went to speak with a colleague at my work about a particular issue. However, the Lord somehow directed the conversation in such a way that we never spoke about that issue – instead, we spoke about Yeshua!
This middle-aged man is named “Daniel”, and he very strongly believes in the existence of God, and expounded on the wonders of creation with me. I agreed and spoke about the miraculous return of the Jewish people to Israel and how it is a fulfillment of God’s promises from over 2,400 years ago. He was very fascinated by this idea, and had never heard about prophecy and fulfillment before. He asked me more about the Tanakh (Old Testament), and about what’s written in it.
I explained more, and then presented the Gospel. I explained about creation, the fall, and God’s plan of redemption. He was truly touched and surprised by the idea of a humble God – one that would actually care about us enough to come in the form of a man into this broken world. He was also excited by the idea that Yeshua’s death and resurrection paved the way for ALL people groups to come to God, and that it was not limited to the Jewish people or any other group.
We talked for quite some time, but then something came up, and he said, “Let’s continue this conversation later.”
…….
So he invited my wife and me to come visit him and his family. He said without any sarcasm, “Who knows? Maybe you’ll persuade us to believe like you do!”
Praise God for such favor! Please pray with me that God will cause the seed that was planted in “Daniel’s” heart to grow, and that we would have a fruitful visit with him and his family soon.
Blessings in Messiah Yeshua……Ariel and Shayla
Pro Life Partners In Israel: Be’ad Chaim
Feb 15th
Here is an update from our Israeli Pro-Life partner Sandy Shoshani:
New Babies! We welcomed 37 new babies into our growing Be’ad Chaim family.
My friends, I believe that God is calling us to stand in the gap as intercessors for His people. The heart of God grieves over the nearly 150 daily abortions, the sexual immorality, the homosexuality boasted of in our streets, and the evil that is being called good. If we will not stand in the gap, who will? Let us call out to God for repentant hearts and for brave individuals who are sold out for Him and will speak the truth.
New Babies! We welcomed 37 new babies into our growing Be’ad Chaim family since the summer:
* In September, 6 baby girls (including one set of twins) and 2 boys!
* In October, 4 baby girls and six boys!
* In November, 6 baby girls and 3 baby boys!
* In January, 2 boys and 3 girls in Jerusalem, a boy in Beersheva, a boy & a girl in Acco, a girl in Tel Aviv & a girl in Kiryat Motzkin (near Haifa).
We thank God for each of these precious children whose lives were spared from abortion.
Blessing Israeli Believers is privileged to be able to partner with such a wonderful ministry and be involved in praying for these children and helping to support the needs of the mothers. Here are some prayer points to lift up to our Father:
We thank God for these children whose lives were spared from abortion.
* Pray for social workers, army officers, guidance counselors, doctors and nurses who will recommend alternatives to women in crisis pregnancy and not coerce them to abort.
* Thank you for praying for 3-year-old Anava, who successfully and miraculously underwent open heart surgery this month. Pray for total healing, especially for stabilized blood pressure and that the leak in her aorta would heal.
* As the rent increases on our Jerusalem office, please pray that we will have wisdom to know whether to continue renting, or to purchase another property.
* Pray for protection for our staff and volunteers, especially as we increase our street outreaches and use more visual images to influence public opinion about abortion.
Thanks to all of you who pray and support the great work our Father has allowed us to be a part of!! How exciting are the days ahead!!
From all of us at Blessing Israeli Believers…

B.I.B. Partners: Daniel & Rachel Goldstein
Think of things in your home you take for granted—a refrigerator, micro-wave oven, a bed to sleep in at night. Then please remember there are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ in Jerusalem that are in need of these things. And ask our Savior if He would have you be part of fulfilling a Bible passage that has only been possible in two generations: the first one and THIS ONE!!! There have not been believers in Jerusalem like today since the first century!
Basic needs met by Blessing Israeli Believers
Romans 15:26-27 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in material things.
Please stop today for just a moment and pray for Daniel and Rachel Goldstein who are helping the poor saints in Jerusalem.
Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
