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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
