© 2011 Jewish Prayer Focus

Without the contributors taking the time to write, we would not have the privilege of learning more about God’s work amongst the Jewish people and be able to support them. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and extending the hand of friendship.Last, but most certainly not least, are you, the wonderful intercessors who stand between Heaven and earth and remind the Lord of His covenant promises “until He makes Jerusalem a praise in all the earth” (Is 62:7). God bless you as you pray.

 

Acknowledgement

 

I am truly grateful to the Lord for providing such a wonderful team of people who graciously work together to make the Jewish Prayer Focus happen. These people stretch across the globe and across four states and territories of Australia. Praise God that the telephone and internet enable us to communicate so easily. Dr Rivkah Alexandra is an invaluable member with her amazing network of Messianic contacts throughout Israel and worldwide.

 

My special thanks goes to my formatter, who wishes to remain anonymous, for his many hours of hard work preparing this booklet for the printer and the web. Dianne Taylor continues to stand faithfully beside me as a competent and tireless ‘Aaron’ holding up my arms in prayer and service. My pastor, Graham Holman, gives his precious time and effort to assist with the banking and bookkeeping. Many thanks go to Susan Pierotti who has again volunteered her professional skills in editing and Proofreading.

 

I am most appreciative of the partnership of Audrey Ebenezer, Ben Manickam and the team at the LBC Bible College in Sri Lanka, who have caught the vision of the Jewish Prayer Focus and are translating, printing and distributed it in Sri Lanka! Many thanks also to Gillian Thirkell in New Zealand, and Rose McKenna in South Africa, who work so hard to distribute in their countries.

 

In 2008, we were again able to contribute over $5,000 of profits to the congregations and ministries in the 2008 Prayer Focus, as well as giving other gifts to Jewish people in need. I am most thankful to those who give extra donations beyond the cost of the books to enable us to send copies to Messianic Jews and Christians in third world countries, who often have more time to pray but not the financial means to buy them.  I also appreciate those who donate to general funds to keep the cogs running at this end.
