A Message from Joel C. Rosenberg
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Israel! Lynn and I are writing to share with you some significant changes in our lives that we are excited about and for which we would be deeply grateful for your prayers.
First, our family moved to Israel. For the last several years, we have sensed God calling us to immigrate to the land of Israel and follow the path of our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Earlier in 2014, the State of Israel granted us citizenship. We are now dual citizens of the United States and Israel.
Having moved in mid-August 2014 with our four sons, we are continuing the process of intensive Hebrew study. We know it’s very challenging to assimilate into a different culture – and to become fluent in a new language. Lord willing, I will continue to write books from here, write email and blog updates, and do media interviews, and I plan to return to the States for book tours, board meetings, and speaking events. We would deeply appreciate your prayers for wisdom and discernment, for courage and strength, and patience and joy through the many challenges that lie ahead. We trust the Lord will show us how in some small way we can serve Him in a Land still so in need of His grace and peace.
Rest assured, Lynn and I plan to stay fully engaged with The Joshua Fund as founders and Board members, and I have accepted the Board’s appointment as TJF Chairman. In this capacity, I plan to continue: 1) mobilizing Christians around the world to bless Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus; 2) participating in key TJF events (prayer and vision trips, Epicenter Conferences, pastors’ conferences/ retreats, etc.); and 3) promoting the work and heart of TJF internationally.
On behalf of TJF’s Board, staff and our ministry partners, thank you for praying with us and for providing your generous financial support to advance God’s work and display His love in the Epicenter.
Sincerely,
JOEL C. ROSENBERG
Founder and Chairman The Joshua Fund
