July 12, 2008
On Behalf of all who are taking part of this holy mission, I thank you all. People are coming to the call center with joy, some come from 9:00 clock in the morning and leave at 21:00 clock and some come immediately after their work before even they go to their home. People are so happy, joy is in the air.
People are calling and eager to get the book / DVD, to read and watch the video. The DVD contains 9 true stories of Local people who are saved. See 1 min on the website www.hayajadeda.com
In His Name, we have started the holy mission on the 1/7, it took few days to launch and publish in all media but thanks God this is behind us now.
- Advertisements on Buses are completed Friday.
- Advertisements in Newspapers had great impact on people as all Arab newspapers are weekly newspapers and they are published on Fridays. We had 6 newspapers and 2 monthly magazines.
- Advertisements in 2 Major websites started converting all traffic to our website directly so we are getting more people ordering via the website.
Here are the results until today 5.7.2008:
- Hundred of people are calling and asking for the testimony Book ( contains 18 powerful stories) and DVD ( The way to the Light) – the people are calling 80%-90% of them are Muslims.
- We had around 1000 visitors to the website www.hayajadeda.com , 500 only yesterday.
- The call center is ready to answer up to 6 concurrent calls, we had some times, three concurrent calls in North Israel, and 2 concurrent calls in Biet Lehm.
- We had an incident, a guy called us and started cursing us and threatening us and say we are “KOOFAR” meaning not believers and he will come to burn the office and so on. But we know this is part of the mission and we thank God for it and continue forward.
Anyway here is the summary and how the mission in action:
In Israel:
120 Billboards in all Israel
8 Newspapers like Panorama, All Arabs, Al-sonara, Alquds, Al-ayam, Al-madina and ect…

When “Religion” is used for deception, the uninformed will call out of curiosity and not because they are interested in YOUR faith. You statistics are misleading simply because you want a way – as the rest of the corrupt Christians – to collect money and donations from those old and rich – and ignorant! Then you will be able to live in your multimillion dollar mansions and have a “dog-house” worth hundreds of thousands… Nice way to make a living, eh?
I read Arabic. Reading the advertisement you include here is very “generic” and implies that the caller will be “helped” for “alcoholism” or “misfortune.” Once these Muslims receive this misinformation, and they discover this garbage, none will follow the teachings of a corrupt religion like yours.

You are doing a great job, missionizing the Jews. I’ve lived there for 12 years as a missionary, but eventually became a Catholic Jew. it is very important to missionize Jews so Jesus can come and save us all.
What I am doing now? I pretend to be a Jew and go online in such newspapers as Haaretz. In any case let me know how I can help.
Your in Christ

We are not missionizing Jews; we are seeking those who are lost no matter if they be Jew or Genrtile. We are doing what Jesus said – to take his message to all, beginning in Jerusalem. I do not believe that our campaign targets the relgious – they are against it; but I do not believe that it is not really intended for them.
Personally, (and these are my thoughts; not necessarily those of our leadership) I believe that a Torah observant Jew who has a trusting faith in God, has a relationship with the Messiah; they just do not know him by his name – Yeshua. If Jesus is the word made flesh – well, they have an intimate relationship with the word and they long for Moshiach, but for reasons known only to God, they are blinded to his identity. It is not for us to decide who is saved, but to simply obey Jesus and take the gospel to all nations; even where it is unwelcome.
Sadly, many Jews in Israel are culturally Jewish, but do not keep the faith.
These are the ones, most open to hear about Jesus. And we do not seek to strip them of their Jewishness, but to see them practice a living faith with their Messianic brothers and sisters in the Land who are every bit as Jewish and patriotiic to Israel as the Orthodox.

Attending the World:
We do not use religion as deception. We attract attention by presenting in media, the stories of people who found answers to their life’s problems through Jesus Christ. Then the local churches contact the people and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them because THAT is how new life and hope was found by those presenting their stories publicly.
90% of the callers are Muslims and most do NOT turn away because we are Christian. Perhaps their religion does not offer solutions for life’s problems; maybe they do not follow their religion – I do not know. But my religion – Christianity tells me to love God above all, love others as myself, take care of orphans and widows in distress, keep myself pure from the world and to make disciples of all nations. There is more to the faith, but these are what dwell in my thoughts daily. My religion offers hope, mercy and rest for the weary and heavy laden. People really do kick addictions, have their emotions healed and sometimes even receive physical healing through the power and love of Jesus Christ. He said that he came to set captives free.
I do not know the people you seem to know who claim to be Christians, but do not follow in the Way of Jesus Christ. There is corruption in Christiianity as there may be in anything run by human beings; but that does not make all corrupt. As a Muslim or maybe just Muslim sympathizer, I am sure you would disagree with the popular idea that all Muslims are terrorists for the same reason – you cannot paint all with the tarnish of a few.
There are no rich Christians here. My starting salary was $0 and went up from there, but is a small fraction of what I made working for myself. No one in this organization is here for the money; no one.
