THE HADDADS
Joseph Haddad's leads River of God, a Lebanese Christian church in Nahariya, Israel. They see that God’s heart is not only for the Lebanese, but for all Arab people, inside and outside of Israel. They praise the Lord for his faithfulness in watching over their flock as the number of the sheep is constantly growing. They are still in the process of looking for a larger meeting place.
Their mercy ministry with the single moms and disadvantaged families is growing up as well. They now serve 15 families in need by distributing food, clothing, powdered milk, diapers, electric fans in summer time / electric heaters in winter time, and other necessary items for their daily living.
They have been putting a special emphasis on working with the youth to equip them for future ministries. They were able to send two young girls to study guitar and keyboard at the Rainbow of Sounds music school, which is run by a local messianic congregation. They also continue outreach to Cana in Galilee and are in the process of building a house of prayer and worship. All of this is done with the support of Fellowship Church and its members.

THE MEYUSEFFS
Several years ago Danny sensed that God was speaking to him about finding a piece of land to be used for His glory. Land in the area is very expensive, but God gave him the idea to ask the local Catholic monastery for a piece of their land. Eventually, the monastery called Danny and said to choose whatever piece of land he wanted. The land the Lord led him to was a beautiful olive grove next to a water reservoir that had been considered worthless because the trees had never produced olives. After a year of prayer and irrigation, the trees were loaded with olives that produced award winning oil. Money from the oil was used to fund ministries to mothers of aborted babies.
Tammy is a deacon at their congregation serving a ministry for the single mothers, widows, orphans, and abused women. She also oversees the children's Shabbat school at the congregation. Danny and Tammy's congregation experience many needs, therefore they have been blessed to be able to serve one another by providing transportation to church, medical appointments, social security meetings, etc. Danny is producing olive oil in a new grove and praying that the Lord will bless it in order provide funding to support those families that struggle with their basic bills.
They have another vision to be able to build a replica of the Tabernacle near Jerusalem so that it can be used as a tool to evangelize to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Lord also strongly put on their hearts to evangelize to the Jewish Orthodox religious, which is a huge challenge and an open door for persecution.

THE JOHNSONS - Hamiflaht
What started as an occasional visitor sharing a meal at their home, has turned into a full time job feeding and sheltering the lonely. HaMiflaht means “The Refuge” in Hebrew. It is a place that soldiers, as well as new immigrants, can come for Shabbat dinner each week, a time usually spent with family. They also house anywhere from 2-6 soldiers each night in their spare bedrooms. HaMiflaht is a place of love and family for those who do not have a place to call home.
The Johnsons open their home and hearts to lone soldiers 24/7 providing a bed for those who need rest, an ear to listen, and a word of comfort or correction when necessary. Scott grills chicken wings each week for the Friday night meal. All are welcome at their table to partake in the festive Shabbat meal. They encourage each one that comes to make use of the gifts God has given, not for their own benefit, but the good of all. Because this is a home, many who have come through their doors continue to return long after their army service is finished. They are family.
They believe the most important aspect of helping raise up leaders is this: "Because they have a relationship with us, their life is forever changed. This is due to the light we carry, which is Yeshua (Jesus)."
