Shalom and warm greetings to you from beautiful Cyprus!
I am here this week at a very special gathering — the Arab and Jewish Unity Conference, where pastors and leaders from Israel and Jordan have come together in one spirit, one heart, and one faith in Yeshua.
As I look around this place, I feel such a deep sense of gratitude. This isn’t just another trip or another meeting. It is something holy — something only God Himself could arrange. And I want to share with you personally what I am seeing here, because it is nothing less than a miracle of God.
Standing Together as One Family
As I sit among Arab and Jewish pastors, hearing their stories, praying with them, crying with them, and rejoicing with them, I am moved again and again by the goodness of the Lord. For many people, it is hard to imagine this kind of unity. But here we are — brothers in Christ, from nations that have known tension, suspicion, and division — meeting as one family.
Only God can do this. Only the Holy Spirit can bring Arab and Jewish believers to one table, one worship, one heart, and one house.
These moments remind me why the ministry of reconciliation is so precious to the Father. When we embrace each other — truly embrace one another — we give the world a picture of what the Kingdom of God really looks like.
A Fulfillment of God’s Promises
While looking out at the peaceful view of Cyprus, the Lord reminded me of something Yeshua taught us:
that the prodigal son and the older brother — two sons who had been separated — will one day stand together again in the Father’s house.
Here in this conference, I see this picture coming alive before my eyes.
I see reconciliation.
I see humility.
I see forgiveness.
I see the kind of love that only comes from the heart of the Father — the love that heals what history has broken.
This is not just a conference. This is the plan of the Lord unfolding right in front of us. God is gathering His family again — Arabs, Jews, and believers from many places — into one house under one Savior. What a privilege to witness it and to be a small part of it.
Why This Matters So Much
In days like these, when our region is under great pressure, unity is not simply a nice idea. It is a testimony. It is a prophetic sign. It is a reminder that the Kingdom of God is stronger than every wall that people or nations have built.
When Arab and Jewish pastors pray together, it declares to the world — loudly and clearly — that Yeshua still reconciles, still restores, and still brings peace where there was none.
It tells every believer who feels discouraged that God is still working behind the scenes.
It tells every skeptic that the Gospel has power.
And it tells every nation watching that the Lord is preparing His family for something greater.
My Heart for You This Week
From Cyprus, I send my love, my blessings, and my deep appreciation to all our friends, supporters, and precious HomeJTK family. Your prayers, your encouragement, and your faithfulness are part of this story too. You help us keep building bridges, keep loving people, keep demonstrating the heart of Yeshua in Israel and beyond.
May the Lord continue to gather His children — from every background, every story, every corner of this region — into His house. And may He use us, all of us, as bridges of His love in this land.
God bless you abundantly.
Shalom from Cyprus,
Pastor Saleem
