Staff member Doug Carmel writes: On a Monday afternoon in June I got a call from mymother. She hardly ever calls me in the afternoon. MyJewish mother is almost 80 years old and lives alone inNew York State. My sister lives near her and checks onher often, but my mom still drives and shops and lives avery mobile life, so she is usually fine.

My mom had some medical issues about 14 years agoand made a profession of faith then. However, I havenever seen any fruit in her life after that, nor has sheshown any desire to discuss God or Jesus. On to the phone call. I could hear it in her voice that shewas on the verge of tears. She said “You have to pray forme.” Apparently, about two weeks ago she bent over topick up her cat and she heard something in her back'snap'. Since that day of picking up the cat two weeks ago, herback was in extreme pain and it had gotten worse. In thepast week it had gotten to the point where she was noteating well and had probably lost about five pounds (sheonly weighs 110 total). She said it was now up to an 8 or9 on the pain scale. She had a doctor’s appointment onWednesday, but was thinking about going to urgent carenow. “Pray for me, Doug” she asked, almost in tears. So I

said to her, “Mom, put your hand on your back on theexact spot where it hurts.” She did, then I prayed as theHoly Spirit led me and concluded “In Jesus’ Name.” Shethanked me, we spoke for a bit more and then I hung upthe phone.

The next evening I called to check on her. I asked howher back was doing, half afraid of what I was going tohear. And to my surprise she said, “It’s much better.” Shesaid there was hardly any pain now. About a level two,down from an 8 or 9. Praise the Lord! She thanked me for praying and I said, “Don’t thank me,thank Jesus.” I told her, “You see mom, Jesus is showingyou that you can trust Him.” She had no answer to thatand remained quiet. She knows what happened, there is no denying it. Thiswas a real answer to prayer, I believe, to show her God'spower through Jesus. Pray for my mother - either to come to faith or to grow ifshe already has faith in the Messiah.

New Evangelism Venue:Pinterest

This month, in addition to the Facebook and Googleads we run, we tried a new venue: Pinterest.com.

They have all sorts of “pins” on there includingsayings, photos, house designs, etc. Right now, allof our products from our webstore show up as pins(over 200 of them). We purchased ad space so thatone of our specific pins would show up frequently to

people who had “Jewish” in their searches for pins,like Jewish recipes. Since an advertised “pin” will appear as peoplescroll, we wanted to make the most impact with thephoto/pin they see, so we chose a book we carrycalled “The Real Kosher Jesus”. This is a bookwritten by Messianic Jewish author Dr. MichaelBrown. He is an excellent Messianic apologist. Inthis book he shows how Jesus is the JewishMessiah.

You can see the numbers here, but in the past 30days we had all of our pins show up over 109,000times (top chart). That specific "Kosher Jesus" pinad was shown about 75,000 (38.6K + 36.5K) ofthose 109,000 views. So almost 2/3 of our pins seenwere that book cover. Also, almost 500 hundredpeople clicked on it to read more. Hopefully it gavepeople something to think about - the Jewishness ofthe Gospel!

Last month was Father's day.Ministry President Robert Specter took a fewmoments to reflect on his father, Hyman IsraelSpecter. Hyman was the man who founded Rock ofIsrael Ministries in 1971.

It is hard to believe my father passed away 23 years ago.

He was the father of 6 children: 3 boys and 3 girls (I amthe youngest boy). He grew up in a single parent homebecause his father died when he was only 2 months old,due to the Flu epidemic of 1918. He was an OrthodoxJew who, at the age of 20, had a supernatural revelationof his Messiah. Soon after, he went to Haiti as aMissionary. In the 12 years he was there, he built over200 churches, a radio ministry, a bible school, andpurchase a large property for AG foreign missions.

From Haiti, he transferred to the field of Senegal, West

Africa where he served about 7 years. While in Africa, hefelt the call of God to come back to Southern California tobegin a ministry to his own people - the Jewish people. In1969 he started Rock of Israel Ministries, Inc. (the nameis from the Bible and is one of the names of God).

He began with printing literature, but soon purchased alarge building right on one of the main roads in Tarzanain the San Fernando Valley. The Valley boasted a quartermillion Jewish population and was the home of themovie-making industry. In 1992 he asked me to considertaking the leadership of Rock of Israel Ministries, which Idid.

Who can say how many people in Haiti, Africa, and in theU.S., personally and on radio, came to the Lord becauseof him. Or how many thousands he inspired whensharing his testimony at hundreds of churches. MayHyman (Homer) Israel Specter be long remembered!

A Brazilian pastor prayed to God to “destroy the Jews like vermin”and bring about a second Holocaust during a sermon in Rio deJaneiro. “Massacre the Jews, God, hit them with your sword, for they haveleft God, they have left the nations,” Pastor Tupirani da Hora Loresshouted at dozens of congregants earlier this month at hisGeracao Jesus Cristo church, a recording of the event shows. Hiscongregants are heard repeating his words passionately. Sadly this story was picked up by the Jewish media aroundthe world. It was posted to Jewish websites all over and sharedover 66,000 times from one Jewish website alone. It really shows how a bad apple can set back years of hard work.

This Month's Jewish HumorA man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New YorkCity. He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd ofspectators gathers around.

"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps. A

policeman checks the crowd----no priest, no minister, noman of God of any kind."A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dyingman says again.

Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of atleast eighty years of age.

"Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm noteven a Catholic, I'm Jewish. But for fifty years now I'mliving behind St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on FirstAvenue, and every night I'm listening to the Catholiclitany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."

The policeman agreed and brought the Jewish old manover to where the dying man lay. The Jewish old mankneels down, leans over the injured and says in a solemnvoice:

"B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72. . ."

It seems like each month we get emails from peoplein Israel who see our ad and who ask questions.

We thought we would give you a sample of what wereceive and answer. Here is an exact question that we received lastmonth from Israel, along with our resonse. (Note:Spelling is the way we received it.)

Message:Isaiah says that ''he is sick" and jesus wasnt sickand he died young, no? And after the massiah willarrive there will be peace so if the massiah alreadywas here why there is no peace yet? I'd like to hearyour thoughts.

Hi, Thanks for your note. You brought up some goodpoints. I also had many questions like these over 30years ago and found out they all had good answers. Ihave been a Messianic Jew for over 30 years now. Hereis how I would answer your questions. About your first question. It seems like you are referring to Isaiah 53:10. Theperson mentioned is wounded/sick.

If you look at the verse or two before it – this personclearly has died. Apparently a very horrible death aswell. The root of that same Hebrew word is also used in 1Kings 22.34 where the King of Israel was just struck withan arrow and calls himself “wounded / sick”. So if this is a verse/chapter speaking about the Messiahwho suffers for us (Jewish people) – and He was nailedto a piece of wood – it makes perfect sense to call Him“wounded” or “sick” for no one can be healthy while dyingnailed to a piece of wood. And the verse 10 of thatchapter is in the context of this person dying. Also notice – that a few verses above – verse 3, statesthat this servant is “a man of pains, and acquainted withsickness.” So this may apply as well since Yeshua hadmany, many sick people always around Him looking to behealed. And as to your second question…. Why no peace? Well most Jewish people have been told this sequence ofevents.

1) Messiah will arrive2) There will then be peace. However, this is not what the Hebrew Bible tells us theorder is. Here is the order from the Hebrew Bible. 1) Messiah will suffer / be rejected.2) Messiah will then return / be accepted.3) There will be peace. Not what most Jewish people have been taught, but it isaccurate. Even Isaiah 53 starts out with these words… “Who would have believed our report?” (verse 1). In other words – God, most are not going to believe whatwe are saying. Isaiah 53:3 states: “he was despised, and we esteemedhim not” There are more verse just like this which show asuffering/rejected Messiah. Even the Rabbis have a concept of Messiah ben Joseph/ Messiah ben David (suffering Messiah / ReigningMessiah.” There is much more on this I could write, but I hope thishelps. Shalom in Messiah,Rock of Israel MinistriesFairfield, OH
