1 It is crucial we continue to pray for the Olim (immigrants) during their first year in Israel. As Shirley always says; Without a successful absorption, there is not a successful Aliyah! ertile Ground The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power. James 5:16b ESV or many years now here at, we ve labored in the revelation that the Great Lakes Region (GLR) is a beachhead for USA Aliyah. It is a region that is growing, supporting and undergirding the work of Aliyah. Pastor Bill Clark Planning and Development Director A recent survey of the GLR revealed to us exactly what God had previously spoken. No surprise there, right? It is a place full of His presence, power and provision. It is laden with resources and teeming with life. The Great Lakes Basin is fertile, not only because it s a fresh water source, but because of the anointing of our King! If I may coin a phrase, God has stacked the deck. Maybe I should say it the way Paul said it: or we are God s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do Ephesians 2:10 (NIV). Don t miss that; there are things that God has prepared in advance for us to do, and serving His people in the GLR is one of them. To His glory, we have begun, but the task is daunting indeed. The Jewish population is there. Israel/Aliyah-supporting churches and ministries are there. We have intercessors and volunteers serving the purposes of God there. All we need now is you! We need you to partner with us as we pursue the heart of the ather. We need you to commit to pray for His chosen people, pray for His Church pray for how God would have you come alongside the GLR. Recently I heard someone say God often uses our prayers to involve us in things bigger than we are. Bigger than we are, yes! But things we are called to do. An Aha Moment! Laying Down Our Dreams and Taking Up His Desires By Pastor Bill Clark H ave you ever had an Aha Moment? Merriam-Webster s Dictionary defines this as a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition or comprehension. Senior Pastors Bill and Antonia Clark New Bethel Community Church 5 operationexodususa.org While it is a relatively new word or phrase within the English language (1939), I believe it to be the phrase that is taking the Church by storm as it relates to Israel and Aliyah! The Word of the Lord in Isaiah 49:22 NIV declares, See, I will beckon to the nations, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and your daughters on their hips. In verse 26 God says,. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty one of Jacob. This is the Word of the Lord and I believe it to be true no less true than His Word that declares my salvation, liberty and healing! Answer to Your Prayers Some time ago in 2015, Ephraim started his Aliyah process; unfortunately, he could not sell his apartment and had to postpone. We let the intercessors know about the situation. Recently Ephraim called to say his apartment sold and he left for Israel in October 2016! Praise the Lord, His timing is perfect. Recently Debbie, a new immigrant, wrote to us from Israel: Lastly, the word chosen is a word we tend to leave in reserve for our Jewish brothers and sisters only. Please let me remind you of a ragtag group of folks that Jesus himself spoke these words over: You did not choose me, but I chose you John 15:16 NIV. We have been chosen to serve Israel and Aliyah.

Together, we have assisted over 150,000 Jewish people with their return to Israel from many different nations. Cornelius Gave Generously T he story of Cornelius is very revealing and powerful. The book of Acts reveals that Cornelius and his family were God-fearing, and that he gave generously and regularly to those in need. Cornelius was a prayerful man, an obedient man and a man respected by all in the Jewish community. God trusted Cornelius to display His love never-ending love for both Jew and Gentile. Coast to Coast with God also sees and hears your heart for the restoration of Israel; He knows what you have done through this ministry. Halleluiah precious Jewish children whose coloring pictures you receive with our thank you letters and newsletters know who you are too! They know they are valued by Christians. We brag on you! Debra Minotti President Why coloring pictures? Well some years ago I saw the play Ann rank. After the play they had on display some drawings by children who lived and died in concentration camps. I struggle with the words to express my horror. I felt helpless. I wanted to do something but it was too late. But a few years later, when it was the right time, we produced hundreds of coloring pictures for Jewish children to draw and express their joy at living in Israel. When a family receives assistance from OEUSA, we send them a picture, asking the children to color the picture, along with a small backpack and financial support. At Caesarea there was a man Children love to color, and almost always we receive a colored picture back, named Cornelius, a centurion in along with a big Thank You! These pictures Thank You notes are for you, my friend, from those dear children! You have made these children smile! what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. Acts 10:1-2 NIV As we come into this season of Thanksgiving, please consider a monthly donation, or give a special one-time gift to assist a family moving to Israel. If you sign up to be a prayer partner, we will send you information about how to pray for the needs of those making Aliyah. Please keep these pictures coming! In closing, we at pray the Lord will bless and answer the prayer of your heart in this season of giving thanks. How Can You Care So Much? An Expectant Heart Releases This precious note came from Ariel and Tova, who just made Aliyah in September: If anything, your operation is, from beginning to end, impressively organized and well thought out. As you know, making Aliyah is a little intimidating and complex if one is leaving behind a developed life in a familiar setting with loved friends and family. Your scripture references, the kindness of your representatives, and your palpable enthusiasm have comforted us. How can you care so much for someone else s process as you do? You set an example for us in this level of service. We hope we can somehow follow your example. Ariel: We see clearly that it is the will of HaShem for us to be in the Land, and we want to support those who love HaShem. In May 2016 Shmuel and Tova applied with us for assistance in their Aliyah scheduled for July. Here is what they shared with : Tova: My husband and I have always loved Israel and would love to raise our family there. I just finished nursing school within the year and the time seems right to finally make the move. I plan on transferring my nursing degree and getting my master s degree in nursing in Israel with aspirations of becoming a midwife. My husband is a mohel; he performs ritual circumcisions. We are very excited but apprehensive about moving costs. Any assistance we could receive would be tremendously appreciated! or many Jewish people, making Aliyah is the path of ollowing their Dream. Kathy Ardino Aliyah Director Shirley Lawrenson NYC Hub Director This is why we have been blessed that the Lord has gone before us and that we were able to open the Brooklyn, New York, Hub/ Office a few months ago. We can testify of the faithfulness of our Lord, who has gone before us every step of the way. Jewish people are reaching out to us for help. As we assist them, they open their hearts to us and share their or you shall go out in joy and stories with us. They open their homes to us, and we be led forth in peace; are able to visit them and Isaiah 55:12 NIV bring them comfort and encouragement as they prepare for their journey home to Israel. They trust us to pray with them and for them. In the past months since the Brooklyn Office has opened, we have witnessed the Lord going before us in preparing the foundations for the increase of Aliyah that we expect from this area. Aliyah from the New York City area has the potential to see the fulfillment of the greatest Exodus. It will take prayer, commitment and action on our part. It is time to take that action and let our voices be heard. It is not the time to be silent. In the days ahead we need to be alert; we need to proclaim and declare God s Word and His promises to His chosen people. Asking and discerning God s Will is just the first step. Doing His Will is the step that brings the breakthrough. Let s enter the days ahead encouraged and joyful, with boldness and courage. An expectant heart releases Gods power. Thank you for your prayers and support that accompany those whom we have been able to assist on one of the most important journeys of their lives. Shmuel, Tova, and little Moshe successfully left in July! Two months into settling into their new surroundings and amongst the busyness of unpacking and getting acclimated, they sent this lovely note to us: To the riends and Supporters of Operation Exodus, words cannot begin to describe our gratitude towards you. It has been our lifelong dream to make Aliyah and you helped us make that possible. It is truly a beautiful organization that you created to help the Jewish people return to Israel. May G-d continue to give you the energy and strength to continue your holy mission, and may He bless all of your efforts. Thanks to you, we were able to assist (and pray for) these precious folks. To think these dear people sat down and took the time to write such genuine, heartfelt notes touched our hearts deeply, and we knew they would touch yours as well. Their words are to YOUR credit. Be encouraged! You are part of the miracle! 2 operationexodususa.org 3 operationexodususa.org 4

Merriam-Webster s Dictionary defines this as a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition or comprehension. Senior Pastors Bill and Antonia Clark New Bethel Community Church 5 operationexodususa.org While it is a relatively new word or phrase within the English language (1939), I believe it to be the phrase that is taking the Church by storm as it relates to Israel and Aliyah! The Word of the Lord in Isaiah 49:22 NIV declares, See, I will beckon to the nations, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and your daughters on their hips. In verse 26 God says,. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty one of Jacob. This is the Word of the Lord and I believe it to be true no less true than His Word that declares my salvation, liberty and healing! Answer to Your Prayers Some time ago in 2015, Ephraim started his Aliyah process; unfortunately, he could not sell his apartment and had to postpone. We let the intercessors know about the situation. Recently Ephraim called to say his apartment sold and he left for Israel in October 2016! Praise the Lord, His timing is perfect. Recently Debbie, a new immigrant, wrote to us from Israel: Lastly, the word chosen is a word we tend to leave in reserve for our Jewish brothers and sisters only. Please let me remind you of a ragtag group of folks that Jesus himself spoke these words over: You did not choose me, but I chose you John 15:16 NIV. We have been chosen to serve Israel and Aliyah. Aha! ROM HOPE TO HOME ISSUE 5/2016 operationexodususa.org Thank you so much for your prayers. The near two years I have been here have been wonderfully eventful. I have seen my family grow with the addition of my first grandchild and the addition of a new son-in-law. I have also faced the struggles of a new Oleh (new immigrant). Learning your way around town, understanding the healthcare system, increasing your language skills and finding friends and work. On some of these things I have done well. On others not so well Would I change my decision to come to Israel...NO!!! newsletter Displaying God s Love page 2 or more information about, our Purpose, Vision, Values, and History, visit our website. PO Box 568, Lancaster, NY (716) Info@OperationExodusUSA.org OperationExodusUSA.org THANK YOU! Name (print) Address City State Zip Phone ( ) The heart s cry of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this hour is one of seeking, serving and satisfying our King. I believe that we have stepped out of a season where every man has sought to build his own kingdom, and we have stepped into a new day, a day when we are laying down our dreams and taking up His desires! As we give ourselves to His Will and Way, He (God) brings into greater focus His design for His chosen people and the role we have in it as His Church.
