Quick Update: Chag Sameyach to all who are celebrating ❤️🥰 We had three quite amazing gatherings this past weekend, our last few in Florida. It is such a PRIVILEGE to GATHER… though I think we take it for granted sometimes in the western world. While there is definitely reason to celebrate this year, it’s also bittersweet for me to think of all my nieces and nephews in Israel who look forward all year to this special holiday and have to stay in bomb shelters 😣. Can you imagine, Thanksgiving (or whichever one of your favorite holidays) is cancelled all over America? My heart is torn but at the same time, I recognize that this war is so important! And I am believing they will be able to celebrate soon!!!!
We left sunny Florida yesterday 😭… venturing North 🥶🥶🥶. Truly thankful for all the beautiful congregations in Florida who opened their pulpits for us to share some important words and songs for this hour. And all the wonderful friends who drove from afar to support, and those who opened their homes and driveways to us ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are a BLESSING! We are now in Alabama — looking forward to another great Purim Celebration today. Later this week, we’ll be in Tennessee and then to Maryland and Pennsylvania before heading back home to Israel next month. Believe it or not, even with everything going on, we still have people signing on to come on our next “Comfort my People” Israel tour this year! We are super excited to bring another team to the Land, to serve at this (once again) very crucial hour — we believe this trip will be strategic and timely as we will be visiting wounded soldiers in the hospital, hugging holocaust survivors and victims of October 7th and much MUCH more! We’re inviting you, brave friends, to join us! Let me know if you’re interested in more info! Please continue to lift up the people of Iran and Israel… and my son and his team leaving for Africa. Love you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Trying to stay at peace. My aba’s home in Jerusalem is very old and doesn’t have a safe room. The nearest bomb shelter is too far for him to run to every time the sirens sound. My son and his team are about to travel to Africa through Istanbul 🫣🙏🙏🙏

Israel is being bombarded with nonstop missiles right now. The difference is that terrorists target civilians 😣! Four direct hits in Jerusalem area 🫣🫣🫣 Praying for the families who were hit in both Jerusalem and TelAviv today. Believing for a quick victory over the enemy— it is frightening to watch but I keep making myself sing… Lo Afached (I will not fear)! Sing with me ❤️

I’ve been talking with my family and our neighbors all day and night. It’s been a long night for all of them (they’re seven hours ahead—it’s morning in Israel now). Sirens, bomb shelters, little to no sleep. The missile that hit an apartment building in Tel Aviv was felt by a few of my cousins who live nearby.
But as difficult as this is, they all know it is for the greater good—and it won’t likely be much longer before it’s over.
We are witnessing history unfold before our eyes. The curse of haman is being reversed! Thank You, Lord, for Your continued mercy and grace. And thank you to Donald Trump for being brave (or crazy🤪) enough to do what no president has ever dared to do before. Thank you all for your dedication in prayer! Don’t stop yet though!
“Haman-i” is being hung on the gallows, and we will celebrate as Esther did this Chag Purim 2026.
Am Yisrael Chai! Am Iran Chai!

Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God.
Deuteronomy 25:17-18
The Haftorah this Shabbat is from 1st Samuel 3–
This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Haman, who tried to wipe out the Jewish people in the book of Esther, is a descendant of the Amalakites. Israeli news reports are saying that khomeini is very likely dead. Join us online this morning for more at Shoresh David Wesley Chapel here on FB.

50,000 Israeli Reservists called— my family included. War alarms going off all over Israel
Mercy upon the Iranian people, Mercy on Israel. Israeli news reports are saying that khomeini is very likely dead. KUMA ADONAI!

As the sun goes down, we lift up our people in Israel and the people of Iran. We ask God to have mercy on every innocent life. Guide the steps of every leader involved in this war. Watch over our family and friends in the Land. We pray for true SHALOM. Make a way where there is no way 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Our son Obadiah is going to Africa— he wrote the letter below for anyone interested. There will be a l;nk in the c0ments for giving. Any extra funds that come will go to helping another student go. But most of all, would you please keep him/them in your prayers ? ❤️🙏
Hello Friends,
I’m excited to share that I have an opportunity to go to Ethiopia in a couple of weeks. Our team will be serving local communities, partnering with ministries, and sharing the love of Yeshua in practical ways.
I’m currently raising funds to help cover travel and ministry expenses, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support, whether through prayer or financial giving. Every contribution helps make this trip possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting what God is doing. Please keep our team in your prayers as we prepare.
With Much Gratitude,
Obadiah Whitten

It wasn’t our plan to be here this long, but Florida has been a shelter for us and our camper the last couple of months of crazy weather in America! We are so grateful for all the beautiful leaders and friends who’ve opened up their congregations and homes (and driveways) to us! We had another awesome weekend with three events in Jacksonville— both new friends and old ones joining from afar 😊. We have one last weekend in Florida (St. Pete and Wesley Chapel coming up this weekend) before we finally venture out of this state 😅! So many things going on…. not gonna lie, it’s not always easy to keep going when the world feels like it’s literally turning upside down 🥴… but we have to keep pressing in and believing that God has a purpose and a plan!! Hope you are encouraged to press in and believe for good things too! FYI: my hubby has been putting out some of the absolutely BESTTTT devotions I have ever read. If you are in need of some encouragement, you must connect with our worthy brief! It is soooo uplifting and inspiring… and it’s FREE. Message me your eeeem@il and first name and we’ll get you plugged in 🥰
