CRISIS IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL An Open Letter to the Readers of King's Business Magazine Dear Friend: A recent letter to me from the land of Israel tells of eight Jewish men in a small meeting who testified of their new-found faith in Christ and their willingness to con fess Him and to suffer for His sake. Multitudes of Jews in Israel are eager to read the New Testament. Large numbers of Jews there are secret believers. But suddenly in the midst of spiritual blessing a real crisis has arisen. Persecu tion of Jewish Christians is increasing. If a Jew openly confesses Christ he is likely to lose his means of livelihood. Orthodox Jews are sending 200 young Rabbis through out the settlements in Israel "to check the religious situation." There are two ways to turn this crisis into victory for Christ. The first is inter cessory prayer for Israel on the part of the multitudes of God's children in America and other lands. The second is to spread the Word of God more widely than ever before in the land of Israel. The Million Testaments Campaign has already distributed tens of thousands of New Testaments in various languages in Israel and 12,500 complete Hebrew Bibles. But the surface has only been scratched! There are vast multitudes of Jews in Israel still to be reached! This autumn the Million Testaments Campaign is launching a Crusade to spread God's Word more widely than ever before among the Jews in Israel. Will you help to turn the tide in Israel by your prayers and your gifts? We have just prepared a special Prayer Card with definite suggestions for prayer for the Jews in Israel. It will be sent free of cost. Please send for twenty-five or fifty or more of these cards and give them to praying people in your church or community. We shall also gladly send you our Israel News Bulletin. For a limited time we are sending each donor to our Campaign an attractive and in spiring Scripture booklet of 32 pages. The cover of the booklet is a picture, in full color, of the partially-restored synagogue of Capernaum where our Lord likely taught. The booklet has a most helpful message on the Bible by Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison who was the chief United Nations negotiator with the Communists in the talks that ended the Korean War. The booklet also contains an inspiring Scripture verse for each day of the coming year. Large funds are needed by our Campaign for providing New Testaments for Jews in Israel, North and South America, and other lands ; and for Gentiles in Europe. Send your gift quickly, and receive your Scripture booklet before the first edition is ex hausted. Send all gifts for the work, and requests for Prayer Cards and News Bulle tins to: Million Testaments Campaign, Inc., 1505 Race Street, Philadelphia 2, Pa.
