Day 3 of IAMCS conference in Amsterdam

Today was our third and last day for the IAMCS conference in Amsterdam. We had about 50 people attend a leadership meeting to discuss what they had experienced at the conference and what were next steps they would like to see for western Europe. The team from the Netherlands did such a great job in organizing the conference. Everyone at the meeting said they would like to have another gathering next May. A few congregational leaders from the Netherlands and Italy want to move forward with IAMCS membership. There was a strong sense of unity and hope. Blessings. David Schneier

Saturday, Day 2 of IAMCS Amsterdam conference

So we went from 10 am to 10pm today and I had a chance to share about the Testimony of Messianic Judaism along with Joel Liberman, Robert Solomon, Jeffrey Forman and David Chernoff. Joel Chernoff had an awesome concert and 202 people were registered and showed up for the conference. What a blast off for the Messianic movement in western Europe. Tomorrow at 10 am about 50 leaders will meet for more sharing and dialogue. One Dutch leader told me he had met others from the Messianic Jewish movement in the Netherlands that he had not fellowshipped with for years. Our movement is truly one of unity and life from the dead! Shalom. David Schneier

Friday night in Amsterdam/Day 1 of the IAMCS conference

About 200 people filled the hall in Amsterdam and more are expected tomorrow. We had guests from Italy, Czech Republic, France, England, Belgium, the Netherlands and the US. Many came in search for new direction in the Messianic movement. Others yearned for a firm foundation to build their faith on. And they were not disappointed as Joel Chernoff led worship and Jeff Forman shared on the Testimony of Messianic Judaism which he likened to life from the dead. here are some photos of the hall, David Chernoff, Joel Chernoff and Jeff Forman. Please keep up the prayer as some have been derailed from coming. Shalom. David Schneier

Made it to Amsterdam!

    Well, I made it to Amsterdam by train from Paris for the IAMCS European conference even though there was some type of rail strike . There is supposed to be a general strike in France next week and American Airlines, who we fly with to the US, may have a strike as well. British Air is having a cabin workers strike and it is the airline on which 5 Messianic leaders from the IAMCS are traveling here to share at the conference. Thank God they all made it but the first leg of their return flight has been canceled. I just received an e-mail that the father of a key Messianic leader from Belgium is near death in Italy so this leader cannot come. The local team in Amsterdam has received many spiritual attacks as we seek to unite the body of Messiah in Europe and to have them focus on reaching the Jewish people and building healthy messianic congregations here. Please pray for us because what will happen here can have a huge impact on the Messianic movement in Europe. Love & Shalom. David Schneier

The Palestinian Authority - Hamas religious minister: "Jews are bacteria, not human beings

Abdallah Jarbu

On Al-Aqsa TV, Hamas deputy minister of religious calls for Jews to be annihilated, saying they are bacteria, not human beings;

Abdallah Jarbu‘: “[The Jews] suffer from a mental disorder, because they are thieves and aggressors. A thief or an aggressor, who took property or land, develops a psychological disorder and pangs of conscience, because he took something that wasn’t his.

“They want to present themselves to the world as if they have rights, but, in fact, they are foreign bacteria – a microbe unparalleled in the world. It’s not me who says this. The Koran itself says that they have no parallel: ‘You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the believers to be the Jews.’

“May he annihilate this filthy people who have neither religion nor conscience. I condemn whoever believes in normalizing relations with them, whoever supports sitting down with them, and whoever believes that they are human beings. They are not human beings. They are not people. They have no religion, no conscience, and no moral values.”

What do Polish airport gift shops and Egyptian political cartoons have in common?

A political cartoon in Egypt shows President Obama being directed by someone with Stars of David on their sleeves.








And in a Warsaw airport gift store Jewish figures wearing kippas with big noses and carrying bags of money are on sale for those who need an anti-Semitic boost. The web-site www.antisemitism.org.il writes. "Gift shop at the Warsaw airport sells figurines of Jews with a big nose, yarmulke and bags of money, in different positions. In each bag they entered a real Zloty. The company manufactures the figurines defined it as JYD Miniaturais" World's apart with the same hatred. Time to speak up and confront the lies and distortions you hear every day. Shalom. David Schneier
