Passover 2021

Passover Greetings and Resurrection Blessings to you all! We are rejoicing in the triumph of our Lord the King who rescued us from slavery to sin and death. On the eve of Passover, Rania had a vision of the Angel of Awakening over the nations and Israel. We ask you to join us in prayer to release this angel and bring many people into God’s Kingdom. More details on the vision are given below.

Our recent elections have resulted in a spread of political parties that make it difficult for either left or right blocks to form a coalition. Please continue to pray for our leaders to put aside their personal ambition and prejudices. Also pray for our President Reuven Rivlin as he makes the difficult choice of which leader to task with forming the government.

Over the last year, God placed a desire on Rania’s heart to release the sound of Arabic worship from the mountains of Israel. One of the sounds yet to be added to Arabic worship is that of the harp, so we will be taking some of our youth to learn to play the harp at a weekend workshop in Jerusalem. We believe that the sound of worship will usher in the harvest.

As we completed the Guesthouse and Prayer House renovations, two Muslim women came into God’s Kingdom. Rania shared the gospel with two Muslim women, Ghada and Noor who came to help clean the HOPE Prayer House after we finished the renovations. She prayed for healing and they were in awe at three healing miracles, one of Ghada’s legs grew! Both women came into the Kingdom that day. Please pray for Noor and Ghada as Rania continues to disciple them. We are praying that this is just the tiny firstfruits of the harvest to be released.

We also wanted to invite you to sow a Passover/Resurrection gift into HOPE’s New Building Project. We are really blessed by the generosity of our family and grateful for all those who have sown. We would not be able to do this without you, thank you for sowing a first fruits seed into this new building project. If you want to give towards this project, please add the words “New Building Project” to your donation.

Finished HOPE Renovations

HOPE’s bathrooms have been transformed over the last few weeks. We are excited to show you the results of this project and hope to welcome you here in the near future.

 

From March 1st through 15th March, we had builders renovating the HOPE Bathrooms and installing new sinks in the kitchen and laundry rooms. All the tiles were replaced.

Solemn Assembly on 21st March 2021

Several leaders in Israel have called for a Holy Convocation on March 21st in which believers throughout the land will come together to pray. Rania will be leading one of the watches and representing the Israeli Arabs. During this time we will be praying for:

  • Election Process. We pray for righteousness and justice in the election and voting process, with any corruption exposed and justly dealt with. (Proverbs 14:34
  • Repentance. We humble ourselves, turn from our sin and repent on behalf of God’s covenant people Israel. (2 Chronicles 7:13-14)
  • Voters. May a spirit of grace and supplication convict Israelis to vote for parties whose leaders fear the Lord or stand for righteousness or both. (Zechariah 12:10, Psalm 111:10)
  • God’s Choice Leaders. May God give us a coalition government through which He can best achieve His purposes for Israel at this time of our restoration. (Psalm 75:6-7, Proverbs 21:1, Daniel 2:21, Proverbs 16:33)
  • Salvation. Let there be a coalition conducive to the spread of the Gospel, salvations in Yeshua and aliyah for all Jews, including Messianic Jews. (Psalm 24:7-10, 1 Timothy 2:1-4)
  • Restore Truth. Let a coalition be established exposes and despises corruption and deception in governance, while upholding truth which and righteousness. (Proverbs 14:34, Proverbs 16:12)
  • Globalism. Give us, O God, a coalition that resists premature surrender to anti-Messiah or globalist agendas, and instead embraces its call not to be like other nations. Free Israel from any anti-Messiah restrictions on personal freedoms or institutional strongholds based on antiMessiah foundations of the modern state. (Ezekiel 20:32, Deuteronomy 28:13)
  • Pandemic. We pray for a coalition that seeks godly wisdom in establishing pandemic and post-pandemic policies, and in transitioning to a post-pandemic economy. (Proverbs 24:3-4)
  • Sanctity of Life. We pray for a coalition that honors the sanctity of life and understands that abortion is murder. (Exodus 20:13)
    Servant Leadership. Raise up shepherd-leaders who will serve as fathers and mothers with hearts of love for Israel and an anointing to heal and unify the people. (Matthew 23:11, Jeremiah 3:15)
  • Religious Strongholds. Let any ultraorthodox Jewish and other religious strongholds that oppose faith in Yeshua be broken. (Luke 11:46)
    Witchcraft. Let no witchcraft weapon formed against Israel succeed and all covenants with death annulled. (Isaiah 54:17, Psalm 9:15, Psalm 57:2-6, Isaiah 28:14-19)
  • Jerusalem. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, city of the Great King, in every natural and supernatural realm. (Psalm 122)

Arab Deborahs Meeting with Barbara Yoder

Rania and Barbara Yoder led a powerful meeting for the Arab women leaders during the afternoon of Friday 26th February. 50 women from congregations across Israel joined the call and were encouraged by the prophetic message’s youth worship team opened the session with anointed worship, Rania prayed for healing and Barbara taught on staying anchored in times of trouble.

Barbara shared that almost a year before the global corona lockdowns, God had been speaking with her about removing old mindsets and practices to be ready for the new. At that time, she could not imagine how God could possibly do that. Although this last year has been a very difficult one, it has also been a precious time of drawing closer to God. She encouraged the Arab Deborahs to stay SAFE – Secure in their relationships with God through His Word and His voice,  Assess the problem and be sure to only stay in the area God has called you to, Follow your leaders as they follow Christ, and Establish a history with God.

Renovations project update

We wanted to share with you the rapid progress on the final stage of renovations at the HOPE prayer house. The bathroom and toilet were almost 50 years old. When we started work we discovered that we were replacing them at exactly the right time. Some of the pipes were so corroded that they could have exploded at any time! Praise the Lord, He protected us and led Rania to use this time when Israel’s borders are still closed to finish the renovation project. Work started at the beginning of the week and will be completed by the middle of March.

2020 Annual Report

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone. Church and ministry as we knew it changed and adjusted continually and much of what had been planned was put on hold. Instead of planned ministry trips and conferences, at HOPE we concentrated on renovating the buildings and encouraging the women and youth of the land. You can find a summary of our activities below.

New Building – an exciting opportunity to sow into

Greetings and blessings to you from Nazareth!

For several years, we have been praying about finding a larger premises where we could expand our regular prayer meetings and also host training meetings with healing rooms for the women and youth. I have kept a look out for available properties but until now nothing has been suitable for our requirements. Several friends have shared visions and dreams of what the new building that is on God’s heart for HOPE will be like. We received at least 8 prophetic vivid dreams as well as 5 prophetic words about the expansion God has for HOPE.

Recently, God led me to a property that appears to be very good for HOPE and lines up with the words that God has given us over the years. I want to share more about this vision with you in the video below.

The building will have 3 floors, each 80-85 square meters, as well as a spacious roof that can host at least 80 people. The total land included is 310 square meters with private parking. There is also a large parking area nearby. The building will be located at a high place, overlooking the Jezreel Valley and Mount Tabor.

The total cost of this building is 4,200,000 Shekels which is around $1,250,000 US dollars. We would need to pay a deposit of $350,000 USD before the end of the year to secure it and then we will have 3.5 years to pay the remainder (approximately $300,000 per year).

For more details click here.

Will you pray with us and ask God if He wants you to sow into this unique opportunity for the expansion of our ministry in the land?

We are asking specifically for 1000 people to sow at least $350 each so that we can secure this beautiful location. If you can give more than $350 that could enable us to pay a larger down payment which will help us greatly! Please specify [New Building Project] for your donation,  You can give here

We are so grateful for your partnership, thank you so much for joining us in this step of faith!

For His glory,

Rania

Christmas 2020

Warmest greetings of peace and joy to you from Nazareth. As Mary received the greeting of the angel Gabriel with awe and wonder, we pray that each of us will prepare our hearts for God’s coming Kingdom in this season. 

“Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”” 

Luke 1:38

I would like to share a personal word of encouragement and thanks in these challenging times. You can view the video below.

With hearts full of gratitude to the Lord, we want to thank you for standing with us at HOPE. We are so grateful for your prayers and financial support. Your partnership means so much to us, without you we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish all the Lord laid on our hearts to do for His glory and to advance His Kingdom.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

May His glory shine even brighter in 2021!

For His glory

Rania

 

Hope Renovations 3rd Stage

The Lord has been helping us to finish the renovations of the House of Prayer and Exploits in order to prepare for the coming season. As we shared in previous updates, we have painted the entire two houses, both the Guest House and the House of Prayer indoors and installed new lighting as well as added some new furniture. In this third stage, we are painting and renovating the outside entrance areas and steps. This entrance area was in a very dilapidated condition. We are transforming the area with a change of color and also fixing and painting the railings.
