Christmas Greetings from Israel !

*This Post Will Remain at the Top of the Blog Till the New Year!

To All of Our Precious Family,
Friends and Partners,

As the year is drawing to a close we want to remind you how much your ongoing prayers and support mean to us. During these difficult times your help has uplifted us more than we can say.

 
Update on Daniel:

Daniel has been going from strength to strength. His last checkup was good, but the specialists will keep him under observation for the next months. He is feeling very positive and looks terrific! A big thank you to all who have prayed and kept in touch during his illness.

This year we have again posted a number of select Christmas Carols and music for your listening. We try to find the "unusual" as well as the old favourites! Each day you will find a new selection until the New Year. Just click on our Blog and Enjoy!

In addition to our Christmas selections, you can watch our recent report entitled "Hidden Treasure" on the discovery of a natural gas field just off the coast of Israel. It is of key importance to the four hundred million people living in Europe and of course to the one hundred million more living in Egypt, Jordan, Israel and her neighbours. This new energy supply will break the monopoly of Russia on this important fuel market and lay the groundwork for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37~39. This Program is your Call to Prayer in 2020

In our last blast I indicated that due to financial pressure we have been considering closing Jerusalem Vistas / Israel Vision. But today our Israeli lawyer and accountant have both encouraged me to keep our doors opened. The lawyer said, "your media ministry has done a very valuable work and I foresee that one of your sons will take it over one day. As a lawyer I know it is becoming very difficult to open such entities".

I was personally encouraged by that advice and also today while at the Men in Ministry Prayer Breakfast a young pastor came up to me and said, "Jay, don't think you're getting old. The Lord is giving you new wings with which to fly".

For the last fifty years we have been a Faith Ministry. We have always depended on the grace of God and the good will and support of our faithful partners. So please pray, and if the Lord touches your heart, consider helping us through this difficult financial period. Thank you!

From all of us at Jerusalem Vistas / Israel Vision, we wish you and yours, a most Blessed Christmas, a Happy Chanukah, and a Healthy, Prosperous New Year!!

In His Love,

Jay, Meridel and sons

Happy New Year 2020!

Auld Lang Syne~Beautiful Version Sung by Susan Boyle

Lyrics (Original Words)
written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788

Should old acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind 

Should old acquaintance be forgot And auld lang syne 

Chorus:  For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne 

We'll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne 

And surely you'll be your pint' stoup, And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll drink a right guid-willie waught, For Auld Lang syne

Chorus:  For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne 

We'll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes, and pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit, sin' auld lang syne

Chorus:

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn, frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd sin' auld lang syne. 

Chorus:

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere! and gie's a hand o' thine! 
And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught, for auld lang syne.
