A night to honour God

In November 2011 there were two special nights: on the 23rd in Dudley and on the 24th in Cardiff. Both had a shared theme: 'A night to honour Israel'. During those nights we, as NEM representatives, had the opportunity to talk about reconciliation as seen through the ministry of NEM. 

Each gathering gave us an opportunity to share with Jews and Gentiles about how God has led NEM in the work that it undertakes in the Middle East and NEM's vision taken from Isaiah 19:23-25. On both occasions both groups were happy to see that NEM works with Jews and Arabs.  

The highlight for us came from the keynote speaker, Josh Reinstein (Director of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus), who commented that these nights should have been called 'Nights to Honour God' rather than 'Nights to Honour Israel'. He said he found it sad that churches were unable to see the miracles of God's prophecies unfolding before their eyes. He encouraged us to continue to pray, but also to speak out against false reporting and replacement theology.

Field Workers' Conference Nazareth - May 3rd - 7th 2012

Excitement rippled as people met from Israel and neighbouring countries, renewing friendships, seeing how children had grown, and greeting new faces.  

Everyone made a contribution, such as helping with transport arrangements, making welcome cards and snacks found on arrival in our rooms, planning interesting programmes for both adults and children, preparing musical items, arranging group activities and first aid (thankfully not required). Not least was
the translating from Dutch into English and for the hearing impaired.

An interview with a NEM worker

Fifteen years ago Natalie was sent out through NEM to the Arab world, where she founded a care home together with a local doctor. 25 people have found a home and the care they wouldn't be able to get with their families.  

Natalie, what does this place mean to you?
'It's a place I'm very grateful for. I enjoy coming to work every day. This is because I see how elderly people, who wouldn't receive care otherwise, are being cared for. There are people who have no one left and many don't get visitors anymore. It feels good to be able to offer these people a home.' Read more...
