Dear Friedman Family Friends,

Shalom in the name of our wonderful Messiah.

It is hard to believe how fast this year has flown by. As usual, we have been busy and have much to share.

This summer we spent five weeks in Springfield, Missouri attending the School of Missions. We met with the various ministries we will be working with to bring humanitarian and medical aid to Jewish people around the world. We also began to build relationships with the various regional missions directors. This is important, as we will be working in many different regions of the world.

After the School of Missions, Jeff flew to Slovakia for ten days of teaching and doing seminars about Israel and the Jewish people. About 200 people were in attendance, which included city officials. The response was wonderful and there is a real desire to help our work among the Jewish people, especially in Ukraine which is their next door neighbor.

Upon returning in September we began full time itineration. Our schedule of church services is full into next year. We are currently at 86% of our required budget. We are believing that we will have the required budget raised by early next year so we can get to work. We can really use your help! If everyone who receives this letter, who is not already a supporter, would give just $10 per month we could change the lives of countless Jewish people around the world. If you would like to be a part of blessing the Jewish people, please go to the home page, and click on (How can you give)

Assembly of God World Missions allows us to send out two electronic newsletters per year. This of course is much more economical than sending out snail mail.

If you would like to receive our electronic newsletters, please send your e-mail address to jeff.friedman@agmd.org. If you no longer wish to receive our letters you can unsubscribe this way as well.

Believing God to meet our budget requirements, we have begun to plan for the upcoming year. In early 2008 Jeff will travel to Germany to work with a new Messianic congregation and help them get established. In the spring we will bring a container of food to the Jewish community in Ukraine thanks to the help of the Pennsylvania-Delaware district of the Assemblies of God. In the summer we are planning a trip to Israel to work out the logistics for getting humanitarian aid into the country. We are also working on getting 100 portable water purification units to the 70,000 Ethiopian Jews living in the most extreme poverty. Please pray for the wisdom and strength to accomplish these t hings and many more.

On the home front, we are sad to report that Vixie=s mom went to be with the Lord after a short illness. This was totally unexpected and a great shock for all of us. Frankie Vaughn was a great lady and she will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Please pray for Vixie, her sister Elizabeth, and her dad, A.T. Vaughn.

Thank God, the rest of the family is doing well. Matt is adjusting to married life and his new home of Los Angeles. Jesse has 1 year left in the Navy. Bethany has begun her sophomore year at the University of the Arts. Adam turned 17 and is planning for his future. Elisa just turned 13 and has become a lovely young woman. Jedidiah is growing up fast and is almost not my baby anymore...almost!

Vixie did an amazing job getting us settled into the new house and starting another year of home schooling. Jeff just had a birthday and we are not telling how old he is, although he did get an IHOP senior discount! He is just trying to figure out which city he is preaching in today!

Once again, we covet your prayers. Pray that our budget is raised by the end of the year. Pray that the Lord opens many doors of fruitful ministry for us to walk through. We love you all and can't thank you enough for your prayers and your support of this work among the Jewish people of the world.

In His service,
The Friedman Family
Jeff, Vixie, Jesse, Bethany, Adam, Elisa, & Jedidiah
