Solomon fought the Nazis in World War II, even as they murdered his family. Today, he is living out his final years in a tiny, dilapidated, unheated shanty. Before the Isaiah 58 volunteers of The Fellowship reached Solomon with lifesaving food and other essentials, he had often gone hungry trying to survive on a paltry pension of $15 a month!

My friend, we need your help to care for the most destitute of Israel’s remnants, like Solomon.

As a way to help many vulnerable Jews, I invite you to join me in an “Isaiah 58 Fast”. Isaiah asks in the name of God, “Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen?” (Isaiah 58:6). Then He revealed to us the elements of the fast that are pleasing to Him (v.7):

• Dividing our bread with the hungry
• Sheltering the homeless
• Clothing the naked

These acts of compassion are also the mandate of The Fellowship’s Isaiah 58 ministry program of care for suffering elderly Jews in the former Soviet Union. I believe God called us to this ministry to help people like Solomon.

When you take faithful action and support the Jewish people, I know that you too can share in the blessing of the Isaiah 58 Fast:

• v. 8: You will be a light in darkness and experience rapid recovery; your righteousness will be proclaimed, and God’s glory will protect you
• v. 9: The Lord will manifest His presence in your life
• v. 10: Your gloom will lift producing a better attitude toward life, and
• v. 11: God will guide you and satisfy your needs, and you will have divine strength.

And that is why I ask you to join with us and stand with the Jewish people today by sending your most generous gift – for the sake of these desperate people, and to “divide your bread with the hungry.” Every single gift provides critical care for elderly Jews, like Solomon.
