The Action Report
Maryann and God's Perfect Timing

Day to day, year to year only God knowing what comes next!  I'm no prophet, but three things I know for a certainty.

1)  Islam will not eradicate Israel. There are many Arab Christians who love Jews. They recognize God's ongoing covenant with Israel and pray that Jews also will recognize their Messiah. Then there are Arabs and other Muslims who hate Israel and call for her destruction. They are forewarned by God's terrible decree: "For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shall be cut off forever." (Obadiah 10)

2)  No peace plan will bring God's fullest blessing to Israel-whether that plan is offered by men or the devil. The hope of Israel resides in the acceptance of Yeshua-Jesus-as God's greatest gift to His people. God offers no other option. Jesus' own words to Jewish leadership ring clear: "Your house is left...desolate. You shall not see me henceforth, until you say, 'BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.'" That day is coming!

3)  True Christians will face persecution and great testing of our faith. Those who learn to keep trusting the Lord even in the darkest trials (when God seems a million miles away) will serve as lights and witnesses to people desperately seeking peace and meaning to life. They will not be impressed with our strength-but with the love of God that comes from us even when we are at our weakest.

Like precious Maryann. She handled our monthly Shalom mailings for many years. Maryann always listened to me share God's love, but it never seemed to register. A few weeks before a recent Christmas season, she became ill. When I called, she was like a little wilted flower pleading for water. After all those years of Maryann seeing our lives and feeling our love, she asked Love itself-Jesus-to be her Savior and Lord. We were all rejoicing. But God knew the urgency and the timing. Within a week, Maryann died!

Please keep this work in your prayers. Your concern and support are so special to us. Lives are being changed-and each, like Maryann, will live forever.

In His love,

Frank Eiklor

I faced it all in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. We took our stand to awaken the Church to God’s heart for the Jews. God gave me a 4-fold charge to challenge Christians far and wide.
Yes, my thoughts had been many when that little bird fell helpless at my feet. I thought of Jewish eyes that had opened to see the loveliness of Jesus. But what about all of those who live and die without the revelation that the greatest Jew who ever lived has abolished death and guarantees life and immortality to all who trust Him?
The mission field is where people are. And people are everywhere...
