When we arrived, the folks in Nottingham where very excited. This was the first time we had been able to hold a conference, as previously these folks met in the home of one of my prayer warriors at Beit Shalom. Now they had grown sufficiently to hold their own conference. After much persuasion, the pastor of their church, being very pro-Israel, had allowed us to use the church buildings. There were around seventeen to twenty people who turned up, and we had a great day together. I first introduced myself and
AMC to an new group of people who were very interested in our work,
especially ‘Friends of AMC,’ some of whom
said they would like to join. I then gave a teaching on ‘Our Hebraic
Heritage,’ identifying just what a contribution
that Jews had made to the society in which we lived, in fulfilment of the
latter half of Genesis 12:3: “And in you all
the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
We then had lunch and fellowship together, after which George gave his
talk along with a PowerPoint
demonstration on the launching of ‘Rescue Israel’.
George spoke of all the leadings he had gotten from the Lord and how He had
led him to do something for the poor
folks whom he had found homeless and destitute as a result of the Israeli
government's decision to give their homes
and lands to the Palestinians. Many did not get re-housed, but were just left
to God and providence. They sleep on the streets wherever they can they beg and scrounge a
living, but most of what they get goes on
alcohol and drugs to numb the pain of life itself.
Many lost businesses that their families worked very hard to create, and are
now utterly broken. Rescue
Israel plans to build shelters to house these homeless, and provide drug counselors
to help them off the drugs, and hopefully
into Yeshua. After our meeting was over, all said how blessed they were and hope to do
this again; so I am looking forward to
our next meeting as it all helps to spread the word of AMC ‘Uniting the
Body in the Bond of Peace.’ * * * * * Dr. Poyner-Levison is Messianic Teacher at
