Dear Eddie,

I decided to write a note to you on this particular message from
Brazil etc. because it shows so perfectly why your ministry is
such a precious one to me.  Your helping people worldwide to
find their Jewish roots/Hebraic roots is why I realize, while
reading the note, that YOU are my "church".  You are my pastor,
Eddie.

And since there is no other truly Messianic-oriented church
around here, where people can keep Shabbat and the Festivals,
YOU are where we learn, YOU are the ones with whom we worship
the G-d of Israel, YOU are the place we are fed.  Together! So
-- may we regard Hebraic Heritage International as our "church"?
 

 If we are to be given the privilege of being "missionaries" to the Jewish 
people here, though we won't use that term of course, and actually are
not trying to convert them, other than cause them to return to
their own G-d (they are, majority speaking, Reform -- and as
you've said, very liberal, and quite easily swayed by odd
things, like New Age and even Buddhism; last week they heard
from a Spanish fellow touting Kabbalism.)  I was trying to think
of where the passage was about all those statues to every kind
of god, including the "unknown god", whom Paul, I think, told
them referred to the G-d of Israel.  If this bunch is open to
cults, and are equally polite and courteous to listen to us, and
they are, I'm willing to approach them on that basis, Already a
door is opened, namely, we have permission to put on a program
of Jewish music about the High Holydays, and they are
advertising to their congregation, inviting them to listen.  

So in Y'shua's name, we are asking for that open door of
utterance, where we can share the Jewish Y'shua, completely
within the context of the TaNaKh, and from the lovely
perspective we have been so blessed to learn by being part of
your Newsgroup.  That means that we expect a growth of curiosity
to come about, questions they will begin to ask, which hopefully
we will, because we have been studying what you write us, be
able to answer with sensitivity and grace, and several of them
have computers, particularly the president of the Congregation,
and it probably would not be too long before you will be having
some curious Jewish folks from Amarillo looking you up on your
website and/or e-mail address.  'Zat okay?

I know you keep an even busier schedule than I do, ALL the time, so 
forgive me too for giving you so much to read.  

I'll CLOSE this thing!  I promise!  

Love and Shalom in Him, Suzanne
(Shoshannah)
