PM Netanyahu 2016 Holiday Greeting

Published by Meridel Rawlings

We at Israel Vision and Still Small Voice send to YOU our dear frends worldwide very best wishes for Christmas and Channuka. We sense that 2017 will be a momentous year, and all who pray will be encouraged by this greeting from Mr. Netanayhu. Join us as Meridel gives personal greetings to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a reception at the International Christian Embassy. She was able to mention that the lovely life size oil painting porraits of the Presidents and Prime Ministers which hang in the entrance way to the cabinet room of Israel’s Parliament, Knesset; were painted by renowned Canadian artist, Joy Caros Rawlings of Vancouver, BC Canada. They are a gift to the country. PM Bibi’s response to Meridel was the warm Israeli expression, “Kol Ha Kavod” – meaning in English ” All the Honor or Congratulations”! These are days of unprecedented attacks on Israel by the United Nations. What is happening hearkens back to the days of the Greek occupation of the land 2,300 years ago.  Jews were not allowed to …

Urgent Prayer Request!

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends and Partners I, Meridel Rawlings am writing on behalf of Jay. Five days ago he was admitted to the cardiac unit in Jerusalem’s Share Tzedek Hospital. (Gates of Righteousness) He is under supervision and intensive testing to discern the cause of his rapid heart beat, shortness of breath and fluid in his lungs. He is taking medication to slow his heart. Tomorrow he will under go a “shock” to the heart. The Doctors will stop it and start it again, hoping to regulate the heart beat. We need your prayers at this critical time~my sons and I thank You and we know You are there for us. Jay and I hate having to ask for financial help. We find it very humbling, and in a perfect world we could just keep working and say nothing about expenses. But that is not the case. Stress is part of the load here, and financials are very close to the top of the list. If there is any way you could send a donation to help us keep Jerusalem Vistas/Israel Vision going at …

Shalom Dear Friends

The year 2016, filled with many challenges, has almost run its course. Meridel’s brother, Don Fowler, a Jerusalem Vistas Canada Society board member, had a word from the Lord for our family. “…you are being poured out;  from the broken alabaster box, the perfume fills the house. John 12:3-8. I believe this timely word is for each one, near and far, you included. Amen!   The same is true of Israel and her peoples. Created first as a family, then tribes, then slaves in Egypt, then a nation with two  dispersions among the nations. Today we make up the ingathered exiles…never a smooth path. But we choose to rejoice and give thanks because we are secure in the Way… His way. Photos  Lt Jay Canada/Aug/16. Rt. Jay & Meridel. Thankfully we have completed the TV Special called You CAN Make a Difference that highlights the work of our friend, Indira Ghale rescuing trafficked girls and boys. The film is available only in English at this time. We are setting up the Board for the Change …

Huma Abadin – A Muslim Secret Agent?

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends, Please pray for the people of the United States of America facing their most important election in modern history. ‘Oh Lord have mercy’. Thank you. Jay and Meridel This story is SHOCKING. If Hillary Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abadin, is privy to her private and work emails, which opens them to hacking then the USA has become a tool in the hands of Muslim extremists who want to impose their belief system on the rest of us

Update on Child Sex Trafficking Movie

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Come with us to Nepal this fall when we premiere our film YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the leaders of Nepal. Learn about the movie we have worked so hard to create. Write to me at: meridelrawlings@gmail.com Shalom To My Dear Faithful  Friends:  “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matt. 18:20 “We are losing our girls and women, the strength of Nepal. Child sex trafficking in Nepal is  a crime against humanity. There is a blockage of justice!” Advocate D.Tripathi, Supreme Court, Kathmandu Nepal. “I have been in villages where fathers sold their daughters for big screen TVs. My heart burns with the need to supply safe houses.” Meridel Rawlings Never in my wildest dreams could I as a youth, have believed I could be set free from the suffering, humility and shame of child sexual abuse! I have been given the keys to His Kingdom found in Matthew 16:16-18. His ways are so much higher than ours. Because of the new life God …

Human Trafficking Personal Testimonies

Published by Meridel Rawlings

July/August 2016 Dear Friends: Every Friday night that we are home, at our Shabbat table; to honor me, Jay reads aloud the portion from Proverbs 31:10 – 31. This week he began with verses 8 and 9: it feels like they were written just for me and my supportative friends of Still Small Voice. Thank you so much. “Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are apponted to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31: 8,9. “You C.A.N. Make a Difference” our gripping film of child trafficking in Nepal was first shown publically in Canada a few days ago. Upon seeing it, a lively question and answer session broke out and I was asked to provide names. (Only first names in many cases) so that we all CAN pray the names of some souls speaking out in the film. We, the Rawlings Family ask for your response to help us and our Nepali co-workers counter this disease. “Child sex trafficking …

“Come, my people, enter into your rooms and close your doors behind you, hide for a little while, until indignation runs its course. For behold, the LORD is about to come from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.” ( inquity ‘ a permanent stain’) Isaiah 26: 20,21, “In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 Moses had been obedient, but now Pharaoh’s army was breathing down upon the fleeing Israelites. They came to a stop in front of the raging sea… yes, Moses was a terrified leader, and at his wits end. Then Father asked, “What is in your hand Moses?” What is he asking of Moses here… and you and I today? Let us be faithful!
