Dear precious friend,

“Special treatment for the Jews! Don't just kill them. Torture them first!”

You saw this devilish mind-set played out day after day in Mumbai (Bombay) India—a city where I have witnessed for Jesus.

Many people were slaughtered—with special cruelty meted out to Israelis and Jews. Just like under the Nazis. Just like it has always been.

This letter is a warning to my many friends. Get ready. Prepare yourself. What happened in India can happen in Indiana. What has begun again in old Europe can happen in New England—or California—or New York—or anywhere.

You must make up your mind that you will never let Jews stand alone as victims in your city or town. What if Muslim or other groups of terror strike where you live?! Your pastor must take a stand! Your church must take a stand! So must you! God says of the Jews, “I will bless them that bless you—I will curse them that curse you.” Others may dismiss the Scriptures as outdated or irrelevant. You and I know better. The Word of God remains up to date and totally relevant.

For some 20 years I was in the forefront of defending Jews and Israel from haters. Then some Jewish leaders decided to avoid me because I would not agree with their “Jesus is not for Jews” insistence.

However, I did not throw them away but continue to give God's unconditional love to them—to all—Jew or Gentile. But I also insist that Jesus (not organized “Christianity”) is good news for all people—Jew or Gentile.

Someday those Jewish leaders may wish to take me back. No matter. I love and defend them anyway (that's how God's love works). But I must get you ready for what may be stormy days ahead—especially for Christians and Jews.

Never let your Jewish neighbors stand alone if hate enters your area. Challenge your pastor and church to stand up and be counted. Don't let them look the other way or pass by on the other side.

I'm taking this message with me to all believers around the globe. Days of testing lie ahead. God's love for the Jewish people has no end. He chooses to love them through us.

I have a special free gift for you—a booklet I prepared to have followers of Christ know what to do if hate comes to our cities and towns. Learn these 10 steps and share them with your pastor. (See enclosed card.) When you stand on God's side of love in action, you are on the right side.

Your prayers and offerings keep Shalom on the front lines. I ask you to help us begin this critical new year with sufficient funds to keep us reaching our world—Jew and Gentile—with the true message and love of Jesus.

Thanks for all you do,

Frank Eiklor
