    JAN 3 30 W 1st St, Ste A, Mesa, AZ 85201 | Phone: 480.417.6999 | Fax: 480.969.8102 | Website: www.qop.org ear Brothers and DSisters in Christ, The New Year has begun and this first Sunday of the year is a great Solemnity of the Epiphany of our Lord, which is just another way of saying His manifestation to all of us that He is with us to guide us and protect us and lead us home. The Three Kings or Wise Men come from afar to lay their gifts before Him and recognize Him as the King of Kings. Their gifts at His birth of gold, frankincense and myrrh are a reminder to us of the reality that Jesus will give His life for us. He wants us to follow in His foot- steps and give glory to His Father by making His presence be mani- fested today in our world through our way of life. In all our human weakness, we have been called by God to let His light shine in us and through us for the world. He wants us to learn to die to ourselves in order to bear the fruit that will last for all eternity. At the beginning of this new year, let’s ask God to give us the grace to be the best we can be for Him and for others. Let’s ask Him to forgive those who have wronged us so that we are not bound by the sins of others but live the truth in love and learn to conquer evil with good.

    Subscribe Past Issues Translate RSS Uniting Jews & Gentiles for Yeshua's Return Inside this Issue: Chanuka Lights in Budapest Reports from the Annual Meeting in Israel Kairos Conference and the Alleluia Community Open Days in the Netherlands Chanukah Lights in Budapest By Andrea Simonyi A TJCII Intercessor in Hungary In 1945 the Hungarian Arrow Cross (a national political party) controlled the Church and the city streets. They committed serial mass murders against the Orthodox Jewish community of Buda: its Jewish citizens; doctors and patients of two Jewish hospitals; and inhabitants of a home for the elderly. A close relationship existed between the local Catholic community and the Arrow Cross. They were like the evil shepherds described in the Book of Ezekiel who allowed wild animals to destroy lives. As an act of intercession, our group came together this Chanukah to light a Chanukiah near a church at this site. Among those coming were a reformed pastor, a Greek orthodox priest, a Catholic community leader, Messianic Jews, and a Free Church person. The Orthodox Jewish rabbi of the old people's home (also a target of Arrow Cross murders) prayed the blessings . We had spiritual battles, but we were doing this to prepare for a deeper movement of repentance in Hungary, because Yeshua himself celebrated Chanukah in Jerusalem, (Book of John, chapter 10), and because we believe that the light of the Lord shines into darkness. As is often the case, the full impact of this light is yet to be seen. The oil was a gift to us from a Messianic Jewish sister in Israel.
