August 1992 Personal Letter

Shalom, Dear Friend,

In the heat of mid-summer, I have good news for you! And my good news is the direct result of your prayer intervention.

Thank you for responding to the reports we’ve made in our previous letters and newsletters — I’m talking about the anti-Semitism blatantly reflected in the March 9 issue of the Christianity Today magazine.

You’ll remember, I was refused an opportunity to be on the radio program hosted by Kerby Anderson of Probe Ministries in April when Professor Homer Heater of Dallas Theological Seminary was to discuss and support the anti-Semitic position of the magazine article expressed. Further requests to be a guest on Mr. Anderson’s program were also denied.

I rejoice to report that Dr. Thomas McCall and I appeared on Kerby Anderson’s program — July 2! Mr. Anderson was most courteous. We had the opportunity to say everything we intended and felt we clearly defined our biblical position.

And how about this news? Dallas Theological Seminary has invited me to speak at their student Chapel Service next spring! If any anti-Israel damage has been done at the seminary, I will have the opportunity to present the biblical case in favor of Israel. Isn’t the Lord good? Look what prayer has done. I ask that you begin praying for that Chapel Service and for the Holy Spirit to anoint my message and prepare the hearts of the students!

We continue working on our new, fall television series, Israel: By Divine Right! The theme of this new series is the Abrahamic Covenant.

We interviewed scholars, political leaders, immigration officials, Israeli leaders, and the media. These interviews, along with my teaching in this fall television series, will reinforce the truth that the Abrahamic Covenant is everlasting and only the Jews can fulfill it. We will also have interviews from Washington, D.C. with Jeanne Kirkpatrick, former United Nations Ambassador, and from Jerusalem with those who are making preparation for worship in the new temple. Our camera crew was present when. the ship, “Exodus 3,” arrived in Haifa harbor from Odessa! We interviewed some of the Russian immigrants who had “come home” to their land.

Israel: By Divine Right! is sure to be a witness to the Christian who does not fully understand God’s plan for Israel or Israel’s role in history. Zola Levitt Ministries is committed to teaching Gentile friends the biblical principles that will help them understand and witness to their Jewish friends. This new series will also be affirming to Messianic Jews as well as be a beautiful, clear witness to Jews who have not met Messiah Yeshua.

I praise God for you who have been led by the Holy Spirit to fellowship spiritually and financially with this ministry. Your prayer support has brought us through many difficult situations; helped us choose wisely when considering issues involving the administration and expansion of Zola Levitt Ministries; and opened closed doors — like the radio program and Chapel Service I mentioned. And look at what your financial support helps us do:

It allows us to produce timely, biblical television programs and purchase expensive, weekly, television airtime on national satellite networks and local television stations in all the major American cities. You are keenly aware of what we are communicating and why we must share this message.

Gifts provide funding for the overhead costs inherent in providing prompt response to viewers and individuals interested in our educational and inspirational resources. Are you aware we operate this ministry with a lean staff of only 10 people?

Financial support also extends our witness and ministry to the nation of Israel itself. We send scores of books and literature … and have planted thousands of trees in the Holy Land. You also make it possible for me to teach, inform, and minister to thousands of people through this personal monthly letter, The Levitt Letter, and “The Bulletin Board.” How else would you have known about the critical issues I have brought to your attention through the years? Issues that involve Israel as a nation and as the pivotal part of God’s historical plan for His Kingdom?

If you’ve been a spiritual and financial part of this ministry — you can see how your investment of prayer and finances has been multiplied many-fold in outreach. Many thanks for your faithfulness!

If you’ve never considered being a part of Zola Levitt Ministries, or have not participated recently, I encourage you to ask the Lord a question — “Should I commit a portion of my spiritual and financial stewardship to this unique ministry?” I say “unique” because there are very few others that have the calling we have been given! If God leads you to help, we pledge to you our stewardship of your trust and will use your support wisely.

Thank you for your consideration. Not only do we have financial needs as we develop the new fall series — Israel: By Divine Right!, but it’s summer and that’s a need all of its own. The response card is enclosed for your convenience.

Your Messenger,

P. S. There’s still time to join us for the “Three Feasts Tour” of the Holy Land departing Sept. 29. Your Bible will “come alive” after you have actually experienced His homeland. Our basic tour returns Oct. 8, after spending Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Jerusalem. You may chose between two Grand optional extensions: one group will stay in Israel, touring the Negev Desert and Eilat and returning to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. The other group will travel to Greece for a luxury cruise of the Greek islands and tour Ephesus, Corinth, Athens and Mars Hill before returning Oct. 13. Call 1-800-WONDERS for a brochure.
