8/11/06 Javari Indians of the amazon

Interesting reading from the Smithsonian on the Javari Indians of the Amazon. We’ll be shipping a 20-ft. container of black beans to assist an Overland Missions outpost that is being set up to build relational bridges with the various tribes in hopes of sharing the gospel (FTH Czech is covering the shipping cost of this first container). If all goes well we can develop this into a larger project.

This is quite an opportunity to reach isolated and primitive people groups deep in the heart of the Amazon. The Javari valley is a FUNAI protected zone, meaning that outsiders are forbidden to enter for fear of corrupting their ancient culture. Thankfully the missions group we are working with has had Divine favor with several chiefs and elders and has been granted an invitation to interact with various tribal villages.

Greetings dear brothers,

For the past month and a half we have witnessed the harsh times that the nation of Israel has gone through, especially the residents of the north. During this time the sound of the sirens was heard frequently, the rockets hitting shook our homes, our ears rang and our hearts trembled.

While experiencing all of this I felt a deep ache in my heart and I comprehended how terrible it is to see the face of your loved ones, your children, standing with faces full of fear, sadness and seriousness.

"Let the little children come unto me". I feel that at this time Yeshua will come to his little children who live in the north, we are all his children. We were able to be a light to Israel during these trying days. We were involved in many ways of helping; we distributed food to thousands, more than five thousand hot lunches were handed out to elderly and young children, equipment such as mattresses and fans for shelters, and games. Along with a group of believers who were dressed up as clowns we entered bomb shelters and provided activities, entertainment and praise.

Had you not stood with us here in Acco, doors would not have opened for us. Our congregation has stood the test of war and thanks to you, we have been able to offer support to the city in this time of distress.

Please stand with us in prayer. Pray for:

1. The children of Acco, for strength and encouragement.

2. Strengthening of faith for the parents and that they will trust in Yeshua and not have a spirit of fear.

3. As a result of all of the hardships during the month, many faced unexpected expenses and loss of income. Please pray for financial blessings for the members of the congregation.

4. This is the time of harvest. Pray for open hearts and ripening for the harvest.

5. As we return to our schedule, we are reminded of our need for our own building here in the city of Acco. Pray about this.

I am so glad to have you cooperating with us and for the deep common goal that we share.

With love,

Guy Cohen

"Shalom Stefan,

We have quiet time here in Acco thanks to God but who knows how long it will last. I know from the bible that we will have harder times here in Israel, my eyes is only on Yeshua he is my Shelter.

I am so grateful for your supporting love even you don't know me personally you refresh my spirit in the hardest time of my life. I don't know how to thank you and the ministry of Feed The Hungry. I can tell you are all doing a holy job that continues to warm God's heart.

We have gone to the people at the shelters to be a light for them through the food and gifts for the children and more."

"Hallelujah, it is quiet here.

With out you we would not succeed to stand in all of this hard pressure. More then 4000 rocket hits in Israel; 5 of our civilians just died but in all of our sorrow, we must still say "God will protect his people". A lot of miracles have happened, we were under sirens in the shelter, heard the rockets explode near to us, and even seen the bombs.

Right, the attached picture of one of the bombed cars, I was driving right by this area 10 seconds before it hit and killed five people. My mother and sister and close family saw it explode.

Thanks to God for hearing your prayers and sending his angels to protect not only my family but also others in the nation of Israel who are standing during this hard time. I pray that these hard days will be over.

"Shalom Stefan,

It was good to talk with you last Friday. Sorry for being so emotional, it was one of the harder days for me and my family because so many direct hits came into the city... I was thinking how I could lose my mother, sister, aunt, uncle, etc.

The ministry is still on and the work is continuing as we distribute in different areas here-- food boxes for the people in shelters and hot meals to old people for lunch time and on Friday we give out Shabbot boxes for the shelters and families.

In addition to food, the shelters need fans (it is very hot and stuffy), mattresses, and games for the little children would help get their mind off of things.

Sing for Joy (1min39secs, 6.4MB, WM9)

This is a glorious, feel-good, music video from the FTH archives. This is a short music clip shows a joyous group of African people singing "Sing for Joy oh Africa" with little snippets of a 1995 food distribution throughout. Look out for a boy, pushing his bicycle with open toed boots; and a man leading a blind man.

I highly recommend you download this clip.
