Israel~We Are Only One Call Away

One Call Away~Contest Film by Rachel Lester for 12 Tribe Films



Lyrics to the Background Song by Charlie Puth

I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
1
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
Come on, come on, come on
Reaching out to you, so take a chance
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
Come on, come on, come one
You and me can make it anywhere
For now, we can stay here for a while, ay
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
And when you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long, Darling
And when you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
I'm only one call away

Nepal My Love~Working to Fight Child Trafficking

Here is a sneak preview of some still photos from the movie project on Nepal that the Rawlings family are working on called, "You CAN make a Difference". It is about combatting human trafficking and sexual abuse of children in this beautiful "rooftop of the world" mountain kingdom. 

Jay is currently writing the script and found some pictures he thought you would like to see.  They were taken during a 17 km trek up towards the Annapurna range of the Himalaya Mountains. It was there that Meridel, Chris and David met (by chance) a young man and his sickly mother. As you will see, they met other special people as well, young and old alike.

One of the many joys for Meridel was when she was able to buy shoes and socks for several young children who had "never" had their own shoes or socks!

If you would like to help us complete this vital media project please donate via the PayPal button to the right  or visit our website www.israelvision.com where you can donate online via PayPal, a secure way to give that accepts most credit cards...Thanks.

The Beauty of the Negev~March 2016

Join Jay and Meridel on their synagogue's annual English Bible Study tour.  This year they, and eighteen others decided to visit the amazing Negev desert for three days and two overnights. 

The Negev is the only desert in the world that is decreasing in size as the Israeli farmers are busy making "the desert bloom." 

To quote Jay, 

"We especially enjoyed the spring time flora and fauna starting in the Ramon Crater, then at Kibbutz Ketura. There we learned about this unique community that celebrate their Jewish traditions as a great big family of 250 people! There local leaders taught about hearing the "Still Small Voice" and valuing the desert.  We also visited Eilat where we learned the history of Israel's southern most city surrounded by 3 Arab nations, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. It was a very inspiring trip indeed."

Christian Group Finally Wins A Victory For Free Speech!

Christians in Toronto spoke out, and after a fight they have won their case. So just what is this about?

In Dundas Square there are many events that take place. For the past five years, a Christian organization called Voices of the Nations has held an event to "promote diversity within the Christian Community by showcasing its mosaic of fine arts and music" .

Suddenly in October of 2015, they were informed that they would not be issued a permit for their next festival because "praising Jesus in their song’s lyrics contravenes the city policy against “proselytizing.” 

*Proselytizing means to try to persuade someone to switch to your religious beliefs

Go back and read that again...they were denied a permit for their concert because they sang about Jesus! Now consider that they do not stop Muslims from setting up booths for the express purpose of “proselytizing” (ie) converting people to Islam. Likewise when Omar Albach, a Muslim University student blasted out the Muslim Call to Prayer, not only was he not stopped, he was not even warned by the police!

Whatever happened to Canada as a Free Country with Freedom of Speech??

Whether you are a Christian, Jew or do not hold by any faith at all this should cause great concern. If you are Christian this is a wake up call! Christians in the middle east are being persecuted and slaughtered for their refusal to turn their backs on Jesus. If  Christians in the west continue to placidly sit back and "hope it will blow over" you will soon find yourselves on the run just like your brothers and sisters in the middle east~and note that nobody is rushing to take them in as refugees.

Below is the story. Listen carefully to the exact words of the bigoted woman who denied the permit...and remember if you are not for your faith~who is? 

Listen to the Bigot Deny the Group Because they Sing About Jesus! Then Hear the Good News!

Suddenly Jerusalem~Flashmob

Jay and Meridel's oldest son, David is married to a choreographer, Adi Gordon Rawlings. She creates and helps produce many programs for Israel, including this "Flash Mob" for the Ministry of Tourism. 

The location is the "Old Train Station" which has been converted to a spot for everyone to come to. There are many restaurants, stores and even entertainment and rides for children. It has a classic "railway" atmosphere and even a small train going up and down giving rides to kids. The central section is often used for concerts, dances and other entertainments. All around are a multitude of small "carts" where local vendors sell their crafts and wares. If you are in Jerusalem, it is a fun place to visit.
