"How do we know we are living in the last days?"; "What makes you so sure that the church has not replaced Israel?"; "You focus too much on Israel - shouldn't we be more concerned as Christians about being light and salt in the world?"
These are some of the questions we are often asked in our work as Christians for Israel, and they are good questions. The answer is - we don't know everything, and we do not pretend to hold the whole truth. But we simply trust God's word as true and faithful, and seek to understand and discern the times we are living in in the light of that Word, and encourage others to do the same.
We hope you will be encouraged as you read the stories in this edition of The Messenger. They are all signs of hope - sure messages that the King is coming, to establish His kingdom on earth. Maranatha.
God bless you.

Andrew Tucker's visit to Australia, New Zealand and Singapore
In August 2013, I travelled "down-under" for meetings with some of our teams in Asia and Oceania. First stop over was a meeting at Hong Kong airport with our friend Tony Tam, businessman in Hong Kong. Following our meeting last November in Kuala Lumpur, Tony has been preparing the way for us to connect with churches and theological seminaries in mainland China. Tony has just completed a short visit together with Willem Glashouwer to Zhong Nan Theological Seminary in Wuhan. We believe the Lord is opening the doors to China to strengthen and support the many Christians whom the Lord is already preparing for His work in the days to come.

Israel Prayer Letter October/November 2013
Israel finds itself in the eye of the storm, in the surrounding countries there is chaos. Just follow the news media and you will know. With this prayer letter we would like to inspire you to continue to pray faithfully for God’s people in the coming months. For each of the subjects you will find seven prayers, like the seven arms of the Menorah. They are pointed upwards, to our heavenly Father. That is the only right direction: “Set your hearts on things above.”
