Subject: Newsgroup Update Status

 
     Dear Mishpachah (family):
 
                After a two month layoff due to my need to finish the
editing, proofing and printing of my new book, "Restoring the Two
Houses of Israel" and after attending conferences in Orlando, Florida
and celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles in Ocean Shores, WA and
Houston, TX, the newsgroup was resumed over the weekend. Thank you
for your patience and understanding. I continue to get messages from
our members telling me how much the newsgroup is a blessing to them.
This brings me great joy and great encouragement to continue with
love doing the Lord's work for the glory of His Kingdom.

                  For those of you who also get updates of the news
and events from the nation of Israel, you may have noticed that 3-4
of the e-mail messages was news from Israel during the period August
17 - September 16, 1999. Even though this news was "old" news, I
believed that it was important to send out and begin to catch up on
the news and events happening in the nation of Israel for several
reasons:

         1) Our members archive for themselves the newsgroup articles
              including the news from Israel.
         2) Many of our newsgroup members are like myself in that when
              they don't read/receive the newsgroup e-mail, they are
             not able to keep current with news and events happening in the nation
             of Israel.
         3) The news received on the newsgroup from events happening
              in the nation of Israel is a SUMMARY of those news items which are of
              the most interest to Zionist believers in Yeshua/Jesus
              as Messiah
         4) Israel is God's prophetic timeclock in history and Israel
              CURRENT peace process WILL lead to the 70th week of
              Daniel. Therefore, it is CRITICAL to watch the events in Israel and
              be a watchman on the wall.
 
           Therefore, I pray that the most recent newsgroup articles
were a blessing to you as we resumed again the newsgroup.

            Because it was two months since the last newsgroup, when
I sent out newsgroup over the weekend, I received about 800-900
"bounced" e-mail messages. I will be reviewing these messages in the
next few days.

            The Orlando, Florida, Messianic Israel Alliance
conference was as a HUGE success and a GREAT blessing to those who
attended. I met many newsgroup members at the conference and greatly
enjoyed speaking with each and every newsgroup member that I saw. The
people at the conference were HUNGARY and THIRSTY for the informatino
in my new book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel". I sold over 5
boxes of books at the conference.

             I celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in Ocean Shores,
WA for the 3rd straight year. This celebration is ALWAYS a great
blessing to me and to those who attend each year. It was great
meeting friends that I met in previous years and well as all the new
people who come. We had a nice VARIETY of speakers who all had
wonderful things to share about our rich Hebraic Heritage in Messiah.
Once again, I met several newsgroup members at the conference and
went out to eat with some newsgroup members. I shared three messages
from my new book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel" and the
people were so excited to hear these inspiring messages that I sold
two boxes of my new book at the conference.

              From Ocean Shores, WA, I flew to Houston, TX and gave
several messages over the Feast of Taberancles weekend at a Baptist
church. I was able to meet several newsgroup members who have a
ministry called, "Watchman of Issachar" and who sponsored the 7th
Millenium Prophecy Conference last January. Even though I spoke to a
small group of people in Houston (around 25), they were HUNGARY and
THIRSTY for teachings on our rich Hebraic Heritage in Messiah also. I
was able to sell one box of my new book, "Restoring the Two Houses of
Israel" in Houston.

             I returned home blessed from the fellowship, blessed to
meet our newsgroup members and blessed to be able to teach and share
with others about our rich Hebraic heritage in Messiah.  After taking
some time, to get caught up with things from being away at these
conferences, I was able to send out newsgroup e-mail over the past
weekend. We will be spending the next week or two getting caught up
with the news in Israel and the weekly Orthodox Jewish Torah studies
as well as continue to study various subjects and topics as they
arise on the newsgroup. It is my prayer that the newsgroup will be
able to return to normal and be sent out on a weekly basis in the
foreseeable future. In mid-late November, I MAY be speaking in San
Antonio, TX but this has not been confirmed and booked at the moment.

              As you know, I made an introductory offer to celebrate
the printing of my new book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel" on
September 22, 1999. As you may recall, I made two offers.

              The first offer was to receive my new book (544 pages)
for the regular price of $25 postage paid and receive FREE the book,
"Who is Israel and Why you need to know" from House of David
ministries in addition to receiving a FREE copy of the First Fruits
of Zion (Messianic Jewish) magazine and information on their Torah
Club program and HaYesod Foundational study program. Therefore, offer
#1 was all of this material for $25 postage paid.

               The second offer was all of offer #1 plus receiving
the book by Dr. Brad Young of the Gospel Research Foundation on
understanding the Parables of Yeshua/Jesus from a Jewish perspective
with a Christian interpretation. This is a hardback book that sells
for $30 postage paid. However, in conjuction with offer #1 and the
Parables book, I made an offer to save an additional $12 on Dr.
Young's book. Therefore, offer #2 was (offer #1 plus the Parables
book) for $43 postage paid.

                  Many of you have taken advantage of the opportunity
to get either offer #1 or offer #2. This offer was valid from
September 23, 1999 through October 23, 1999. Therefore, this is the
FINAL week for these outstanding offers.

                    Because these offers are being made for such an
incredible low price, I have to make a special order for these
materials to be able to pass the bulk order savings to our newsgroup
members. You CANNOT get these materials at these prices from your
local bookstore. Because I need to know how many books to order at
the bulk rate savings, I have to wait until I receive all orders to
make the special order for our members. Then, I will be able to fill
the orders and send the orders to our members. After this final week,
I will order the books and send out those who have ordered.

               For those of you who will be ordering this week,
please make your check out to (Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l) and
send to:

               Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l
               PO Box 81
               Strasburg, Ohio 44680

               I pray that the newsgroup will continue to be a rich
blessing to our members.

               Your servant in Messiah,

                Eddie Chumney
