      Dear Mishpachah (family):


            What? Another week goes by without any e-mail from the 
newsgroup? Withdrawal symptons? I hope that the newsgroup will return 
to normal in the next couple of weeks. But, I have good news to share 
with you regarding my week. First, a brief background.

            In the next week or so, we will have over 2,000 members 
who have joined the network EXCLUSIVELY through the Internet and the 
Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l Web site. In August 1996, when the 
Hebraic Heritage web page went on the Internet, this would only have 
been a wild, wild dream. But, GOD IS GOOD and His mercy endures 
forever. To me, this is evidence that what is happening is because GOD 
and His Ruach HaKodesh / Holy Spirit are DIVINELY doing the work. This 
is HIS network and HE is blessing it. ALL the blessings have come 
from HIM !!!! To HIM be ALL the glory! Amen!

            Since August 1996, we have been averaging about 100 new 
members a month. Since that time, I have been processing our new 
members manually and inputting them into a database. This 
usually requires one or two nights a week to keep current in processing 
the new members. I have always desired a more automated way to 
process the new members but didn't know how this could SAFELY be 
done. I have desired help from the Lord to help me solve this problem 
since August 1996. About a month or so ago, the Lord heard my cry and 
answered my prayer.

            I learned how that I can emulate the current way that I 
process the new members AUTOMATICALLY.  Last weekend, I started to 
write the program to do this. I continued to work on it on Monday and 
Tuesday night of this week. On Tuesday, I got the program to 
successfully work! Hallelujah! So, from Tuesday night of this week, 
all the processing of new members will be automated and I will no 
longer need to rely on manual processing of inputting the new members 
into the database. 

              However, I still needed to catch up on processing new 
members from being on vacation when I went to the Israel's Jubilee 
conference in Orlando, Florida. I had about 40 new members to finish 
from 2-3 weeks ago.  I finished processing these last night. Then, I 
have about 35 new requests from the past week through Tuesday night 
to start and finish. I have not started on these yet. 

               Tonight, (Thursday night), I need to pack and prepare 
for my Feast of Shavuot / Pentecost trip and conference to the state 
of Washington this weekend. I pray that as many of you as possible 
can attend this conference with me.  I will return on Monday night.

               When I return, I will need to process the 35 requests 
from this past week or so that I have not started yet. All the new 
requests from this Tuesday night will be processed automatically as I 
just explained above.

                So, these are the reasons for no newsgroup this week. 
Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

                 Next week, I have an exciting announcement to make. 
There is another ministry who has joined our network. This ministry 
is based in Jerusalem, Israel and has a magazine that has a couple 
thousand subscribers. We have agreed to work together to further the 
message of embracing our Hebraic / Jewish roots and uplift God's 
Kingdom.  More details and information will be given next week.

                In the meantime, this ministry has made a request 
that members of THIS newsgroup write testimonies of how embracing 
your Hebraic/Jewish roots has blessed and enriched your faith and 
walk in Messiah.  If these testimonies get submitted in a timely 
manner, each testimony will be reviewed and considered to be put into 
this magazine. I also plan to tell you more next week how you can 
subscribe to this magazine.  There has been a tentative agreement 
that there will be a new section in this magazine beginning this fall 
which will feature articles written by members of our network. Once 
again, more details will be given next week. So, I have had a busy 
week even though that week did not include any e-mail from the 
newsgroup.

                God is doing GREAT things in our midst.  Let us 
continue to give him ALL the praise, glory and honor for what HE is 
doing by His Ruach HaKodesh / Holy Spirit. The Lord is good and His 
mercy endures forever!

               Please keep this week's conference in Washington state 
in your prayers.   I look forward to next week's newsgroup.

                       
                                   Shalom in Messiah,
