This question that keeps arising among the Evangelicals, and time after time, the phrase is brought up, not just targeting one individually, but targeting ones family as a whole. So “Are you a Believer?” “Are your parents Believers?” and “When did you become a Believer?” these questions are really asking “Are you a born-again (Evangelical) Christian?” “Are your parents still attending the Nominal Church?” and “When did you stop going to your original Church?”

The evangelical convention in Israel in cooperation with HOPE Prayer ministry conducted the Global Day Of Prayer (GDOP) event on Sunday the 23rd of May for the 4th time this event takes place in the region, and this time at the Golden Crown hotel main hall in Nazareth.
This year was a unique year as the Arab Evangelicals felt burdened to invite the Jewish Messianic congregations for this event. As Rania Sayegh, Director of HOPE ministries put it: "We believe uniting in prayer of repentance for this land, will bring an open heaven over our region and release the river of healing!

The blind support given by some Evangelical Christians to extreme groups in Israel continues to provide some interesting stories, as Haaretz reports today.
Im Tirtzu, the organization that threatened Ben-Gurion University with a donor boycott because of their "anti-Zionist" bias, has lost at lease one funding source over the highly publicized row.
The spokesman for Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a U.S. based pro-Israel organization run by Pastor John Hagee, hinted to Haaretz on Monday that they will no longer give money to Im Tirtzu. The potential funding cutoff will be a big change from the 100,000 dollars that CUFI donated to Im Tirtzu in 2009.

An Evangelical Christian and staff of the Palestinian Bible Society writes an interesting article about the treatment Bibles receive from Evangelistic campaigns conducted in Jerusalem these days.
“These days I think a lot about how much Christians respect their Bibles. In Jerusalem, where the Bible has found a home for centuries, I believe there is not much value for it anymore”.

Ynet - Yediot Ahranot Web site writes a feature about Messianic Jews
"Some 15,000 Messianic Jews currently live in Israel, but if you saw one on the street you would almost certainly fail to recognize any difference. They honor Jewish circumcision, bar-mitzvah, and wedding ceremonies, but believe Jesus is the messiah.
The small community of Yad Hashmona, near Jerusalem, is home to a number of Messianic-Jewish families. They believe in Jesus – or Yeshua, as they call him – and in the teachings of the New Testament as well as the old. They are Jews in every sense, but for the most part keep this side of their faith to themselves. When these families gather for the Shabbat meal, however, Jesus is the guest star at their table".By Yoaz Hendel, Ynet, Aug 19, 2010

Recently, Messianic Believers and Palestinian Christians were hesitant to be in fellowship with each other. It seems that some were putting a taboo on fellowship between the aforementioned two groups. Two people from Musalaha ministries: Salim Munayer, a Palestinian Evangelical, and Evan Thomas, a Messianic Jew, respond to this challenge in the following letter.
