The Feast of Tabernacles is just around the corner, and the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem is preparing for a very special online Global Feast 2020.

Ever since our Tabernacles celebration was launched in 1980, many of our Feast pilgrims have discovered the blessing of bringing a special offering to present before the Lord in Jerusalem at Sukkot, just as the ancient Israelites were commanded to do (Deuteronomy 16:16). Each year at this time, Christians from many nations have come up to Jerusalem with their Feast offerings in hand, to express gratitude to God for His faithfulness and provision in their daily lives. And we have heard testimony after testimony of how God has blessed and rewarded them far beyond what their own hands could produce.

In this year of crisis, Christians from the nations will not be able to join us here in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. But you can still turn this into a year of blessing and harvest for you and your family. We recently heard from our branch in Costa Rica about the first person to register for this year’s online Feast. This sister had lost her job due to COVID-19, and she could not really afford the registration. But she planted a seed of faith, trusting God to provide in the midst of a crisis, just as Isaac sowed in a year of famine and “reaped that same year a hundredfold” (Genesis 26:1, 12).

Please prayerfully consider making this a year of sowing in faith and reaping in abundance, by putting a generous seed into the land of Israel through our Feast offering. We believe there is a special blessing appointed just for you in giving out of obedience and a grateful heart at this time!

Your special gift to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem will help us give a strong Christian witness to the people of Israel at this difficult time. The ICEJ has more ministry opportunities before us right now than ever before, whether it is bringing Jews on Aliyah flights to Israel, assisting Holocaust survivors and other elderly Israelis, providing life-saving bomb shelters for communities under rocket attack, or meeting many of the other urgent needs in Israel. And we encourage you to stand with us by sowing your seed in the fertile soil of Israel’s restoration. There is a great harvest ahead for Israel, and for you!

And make sure to join us for this year’s online Global Feast 2020, live from Jerusalem. REGISTER today at: feast.icej.org
