September 2011

Dear Praying Partner:

Greetings from Jerusalem the city, God delcared His love to man kind.

The church on 16th of September was established with 11 members. In the 49 years we have added to the church 110 people, a large number of them have immigrated all over the world. The number of people who have confessed the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal saviour is in the thousands. For many reasons they were not able to obey the Lord in Baptism. Some for fear of death and others for losing their job or house and some left the country few days after they accepted Christ.

The following Sundays are the Jubilee Sundays we will be observing in the fiftieth year.

Sept 18, Oct 16, Nov 20, Dec 18, Jan 15, Feb 19, March 18, April 15, May 20, June 17, July 15, Aug 19 & Sept 16-18

If you are a pastor of a supporting church active or retired, you are invited to preach next year whenever you come to Jerusalem. So it is important to inform us a month ahead of your coming.

Keep praying for us and may the Lord bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Atif & Rajaa Himadeh

Dear Praying Partner:

Greetings from Jerusalem, the city of peace that will not see peace until the prince of peace come in glory to rule for a thousand years.

Thank you for the regular support you are sending us and for praying for us all these years. We thank the Lord Jesus Christ for allowing us to serve Him in this city and in the Holy Land for the last 49 years. I was ordained 50 years ago and most of that time I have spent in Jerusalem serving the Lord.

Last week we finished two weeks of VBS and we praise the Lord for those who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior. This week also one accepted Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

I came to Jerusalem on 16th of February 1962, and the church was established on the 16th of September 1962 with twelve members. I am inviting all the persons who accepted Christ during the past 50 year to come and attend the fiftieth anniversary of the church which will be from the 16th to the 18th of September 2012.

We are starting from the 17th of July to have a jubile Sunday once every month. Every Sunday that falls between the 15th and the 21st will be Jubile Sunday. A jubile Sunday means worship services morning afternoon and evening. For the noon meal every one will bring his food and a little extra for the visitors. I have written around twenty tracts in the last fifty years and we will use them in visitation.

We are inviting the pastors of churches that supported the ministry in Jerusalem to come at any time in the year 2012 and we will try to put them in the program to preach for us.

Keep praying for us and may the Lord bless you.

Yours in Christ
