7月7日~8月15日為希伯來和阿拉伯青年和“伊拉夫 2013”40天禁食禱告

親愛的朋友們，

茲邀請您加入我們為希伯來和阿拉伯青少年/年輕成人的代禱和財務援助，以幫助他們能夠參加於8月17 - 19日在海法舉行的“伊拉夫 2013”特會。去年大約有600位的猶太和阿拉伯青年聚集一起，有為期三天的敬拜，禱告，尋求主面，並且在和好與友誼中成長。我們還有許多生命發生持久轉變的見證。今年您可以透過以下兩種方式來幫助這些以色列的年輕人：

1、您可以奉獻美金$200來資助一位希伯來或阿拉伯青年參加特會。（我們的成本之所以如此之高，是因為除了會場/音響/照明/錄影視頻這些成本外，我們還必須為大部分的青年提供大部分的住宿和食物費用）。詳閱以下連結：http://www.succathallel.com/

2、我們發現每年針對本特會的屬靈爭戰都非常強烈。若主帶領你，我們鼓勵有盡可能多的人加入我們從7月7日到8月15日為以色列青年和這次特會進行40天的禁食禱告。去年我們非常蒙祝福，甚至有中國的信徒加入了我們的禁食禱告。有些人可能會選擇只飲液體的禁食，或“但以理禁食”，或部分餐飲的禁食，來為這些年輕人的生命突破而迫切禱告。今年還有很重要的禱告是，任何能夠阻止特會舉辦的戰爭和恐怖事件將不會發生！

我們有一個強烈的感動，即今年將是滿足的一年。這是我們主辦的第七屆以色列青年特會。兩年前，一位阿拉伯代禱領袖在伊拉夫特會期間領受了一個非常強烈的異象，就是主想要傾倒降下聖靈的火，正如以利亞曾經歷的那樣。迦密山教會的牧師大衛•大衛斯作了一個強有力的開場禱告，也呼求以利亞曾見過的聖靈的火降在年輕人中間。去年在伊拉夫期間，我（瑞克）與神有45分鐘的相遇，我哭得非常厲害，還看到一塊“巴掌大小的雲”逐漸擴大成暴風雲和傾盆大雨。在去年伊拉夫特會上，我們看到這些禱告內容部分得到應驗。當今年許多以色列年輕人與會者將安排在迦密山上住宿，而且特會地點就設在在迦密山下的海法市，我們感到將會有更大的“火”和“雨”的相繼澆灌！

如你所知，過去三年我們是在特拉維夫舉辦這個特會。當我們正為今年將伊拉夫轉移到海法市舉辦而禱告時，翟辛蒂（Cindy Jacobs）對此毫不知情，但她卻對我們發預言：“海法！主說，‘海法’！你必須把青年特會移到海法去！如果你這樣做，突破將會發生，而且將影響以色列全地。”請為我們禱告，這（一先知性的預言）將被證實為真的。

非常感謝您為以色列青少年/年輕成人遇見神，並由此帶來生命翻轉而與我們同站。有關最新資訊，請查詢我們的網站http://www.jerusalempraise.com

Dear Friends,

We are asking you to join us in prayer and financial aid for Hebrew and Arab youth/young adults to be able to attend our "Elav 2013" conference in Haifa, 17-19 August.  Last year, about 600 Jewish and Arab youth came together for three days to worship, pray, seek the Lord's face, and grow in reconciliation and friendship.  We have had many testimonies of lives changed in lasting ways.  You may help these Israeli young people this year in two ways:

1.  You can support one Hebrew or Arab youth to attend by sending $200, or five for $1,000, etc.  (our cost is so high because we must provide most of the lodging and food for most of these youth, in addition to the conference venue/sound/lighting/video costs).  You may do so securely online (or find bank transfer information) at this link:  http://www.succathallel.com/Groups/1000085112/Succat_Hallel/Donate/Donate.aspx
In the USA, you may send a check to: Light to the Nations, PO Box 406, New Cumberland, PA 17070.

2.  We have found the spiritual warfare against this conference is very heavy each year.  Should the Lord lead you, we encourage as many as possible to join us in a 40-day fast for the youth of Israel and this conference from 7 July until 15 August.  We were so blessed last year that even believers in China joined us in the fast.  Some may want to do a liquids-only fast, a "Daniel fast" or a partial fast to press in for breakthrough in the lives of these young people.  This year it is important also to pray that no war or terror incidents would stop the conference from taking place!

We have a strong sense that this is a year for fullness.  It is the 7th Israeli youth conference that we have sponsored.  Two years ago, an Arab prayer leader had a very strong vision during Elav of the Lord wanting to pour out the fire of the Holy Spirit as experienced by Elijah.  David Davis, pastor of Carmel congregation, gave a strong opening prayer also asking for the fire that Elijah had seen to come upon the young people.  Last year, I (Rick) had an encounter with the Lord for 45 minutes during Elav, where I wept strongly, and saw a "cloud the size of a man's hand" grow into strong storm clouds and pouring rain.  We saw a partial fulfillment of these prayers in last year's Elav conference.  But we sense there is a much greater outpouring of both "fire" and "rain" to happen this year, when many of the Israeli youth will be housed on Mt. Carmel, and the conference venue is in Haifa, below Mt. Carmel.

As you know, we have held this conference the past three years in Tel Aviv.  With no knowledge that we were praying about moving Elav to Haifa this year, Cindy Jacobs prophesied to us: "Haifa!  The Lord says, "Haifa"! You must move the youth conference to Haifa!  If you do, breakthrough will happen that will affect all of Israel."  Please pray for us that this will prove true.

Thank you so much for standing with us for life-changing encounters with the Lord for the youth and young adults of Israel.  For updated info, check our website: http://www.jerusalempraise.com
