July 6, 2010
This is a joyous opportunity to leave a legacy in Israel. You will help fulfill prophecy!
Dear Friend,
The rebirth of Israel from a desolate land to a thriving country is a miraculous prophetic fulfillment. Isaiah prophesied that “many nationalities would join” to rebuild Israel, “and they shall build the old wastes…raise up the former desolations… and strangers shall feed your crops and shall be your plowmen and your vine dressers” (Is 61:4-5).
I’ve been involved for years with the Gospel to Jews and Arabs in Israel. This year the Lord prompted me that we (the partners of Grace TV) should put down deeper roots in Israel. Shortly afterwards, I was approached by representatives of the Israeli government, and the vision of the Grace Television Biblical Forest was launched.
A few weeks ago we planted the first 150 out of 100,000 trees. Our new Jewish friends wept with joy that “strangers” had come to help restore the land.
At the launch of the Grace TV Forest a few weeks ago, I was amazed to discover that the vast valley behind us is where Deborah and Barak defeated the evil oppressor Sisera.
I could feel the hairs stand up on my body; this was unexpected. You see God used the story of Deborah and Barak to speak to me about Grace TV.
I asked the Lord, “How?” and He instantly responded with the Scripture where God tells Deborah, “Go…and take with you ten thousand”, and Barak and Deborah went out, and “ten thousand went with them” (Judges 4:6, 10). That’s how the Lord assured me that He had prepared ten thousand Canadians to stand with Grace TV.
Can you imagine my emotions! I had no idea that the inaugural ceremony of the Grace Television Biblical Forest was right where Deborah and Barak had seen their victory. This was a confirmation from the Lord.
We have made a commitment with the government of Israel for the first 10,000 trees to be planted by August 1st. This is a great opportunity for you and your family. You can leave a legacy and join in prophetic fulfillment. Consider the following:
-
The Grace Forest will be a testimony to the grace of God in Israel.
-
The Grace Forest is a joint venture with the government of Israel and local farmers.
-
Many of the trees are olive trees that will continue to bear fruit for at least 1,000 years. What a legacy!
-
Isaiah prophesied 2,800 years ago that strangers would help build the land. You now become a participant in Bible prophecy.
-
You will receive your personal certificate signed by Israeli authorities and Grace TV.
With your gift of $30 to Grace TV, we’ll plant one tree in your name, or to honor any person you wish to have named.
Many want to do a cluster of 12 trees. With a gift of $360 to Grace TV, we will plant a cluster in your name, or the name of whoever you want to honor. With twelve trees, you will also receive the 0.925 sterling silver “Promised Land” statuette depicting Joshua and Caleb. This will be a reminder of God’s promises for you in Jesus Christ.
Let me only share one of many confirmations of God’s blessing.
I have visited the Garden of Gethsemane several times, but this time was to be a brand new experience. The Israeli government gave me special permission to access the eight olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane that have been dated to be more than 2,000 years old. These are the very trees where Jesus Christ may have agonized before He went to the cross.
I was teaching and leaning on the largest of these 2,000 year old olive trees, when something happened that even surprised our Jewish hosts. Father Raphael, who has been the supervisor of the Garden of Gethsemane for almost 60 years, took a sapling from one of the 2,000-year-old trees and gave it to be planted in the Grace TV Forest.
That tied everything together, because we are in Israel to be a witness of what Jesus did.
Isaiah prophesied that you and I would be called “trees of righteousness, the plantings of the Lord” (Isaiah 61:3). David said that you would be like “a tree planted by the rivers of water” (Psalm 1:3).
Trees are a biblical symbol for the reality of Jesus in us. For the last five years we have been involved in empowering both Jewish and Arab evangelists and now Grace TV (that means you and I together) are deepening our roots in Israel.
Please take these steps:
-
1. Indicate how many trees you want to plant. You will know in your heart what is the right amount for you and your family. I believe everyone will plant at least one tree.
-
2. Indicate in what name, or names, you want your official certificate or certificates made out.
-
3. Include your prayer requests. Right now Grace TV is in a “Summer of Miracles”. I want to include your prayer needs. What Jesus did for you in the Garden of Gethsemane 2,000 years ago deals with every human pain and struggle, and we will look at your prayer requests, through the finished work of Jesus.
Thank you for taking action now. Thank you for fulfilling prophecy in Israel!
Blessings in Christ,
Peter Youngren
