A few - 3 - in Israel did not appreciate my last high praise of the Tikkun network in Israelprayer last week. One believed I was demeaning the other ministries that are smaller. I have a few things to say about that and the first is that before sending out my report last week, I copied the heads of Tikkun with what I had written. Immediately Daniel Juster got back to me and asked me to tone it down because he did not want anyone thinking that I was saying they were the most fruitful ministry in Israel. He even named a few in comparison. He sent me suggested different wording in a few places, which I implemented, I told him that I am VERY excited about what I heard on their phone conference and, after all - this was MY opinion of what they are doing, it was not them giving the report. I just want to say that I in no way EVER want to demean ANY of the Israeli ministries. For 13 years I have pretty much given excerpts from every Israeli ministry that allowed me to from the smallest fellowships to the largest. I have tried to shine a light on the good things that are happening in each of their labors. I have received prayer letters from around 60 different ministries over the years and excluded only a handful for either not being in good standing with the Body there, or just excessively negative. It has never been my heart to put down any Israeli ministries. If some have felt slighted by my praise of the Tikkun network it was in no way intended to steal anything from all the others laboring in the Lords harvest. Over the years I have taken heat at different times for different things. Only a few months back I took heat for praising how much good was coming out of Israel Pochtars network in Ashdod. Other controversies were over issues with Palestinian Christians and the Israeli Believers. I have come to know that controversy just comes with the territory. The heads of Tikkun are blameless regarding what I wrote about them. Those were my opinions and in no way meant to demean ANY other Israeli ministry. Im just a one-person operation with Israelprayer/Arrows from Zion, and always have been. There is no way I despise the small ministries who are ALL larger than me.
