March/April 2024

Shalom Mighty Warriors of Faith,

Greetings from Israel in the name of Yeshua (Jesus). Do you ever feel like you are in a battle or war? If so, welcome to the club.  Maybe not the type of club that we anticipated.  

Israel is not only in a physical war, but also a spiritual war. Both wars are to thwart the plans and promises of God, however we as true believers in Yeshua know the end of the story. Amen!

Ephesians 6:11-12 says, “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  Going about our daily lives we can often forget this.  

Please be alert, strong in the Lord and always praying for us here in Israel and specifically for Abundant Bread of Salvation, as we serve up the practical and spiritual needs of our poor and needy people in Yeshua’s name! BELIEVE WITH US, that with your gift of any amount will bring forth ETERNAL SALVATION. We are doing our best on the front line. Will you do your part? Click HERE to give now.

Israel is at war against her enemies, and it is Purim (The Biblical Festival of Lots). Haman and Hamas are out to destroy the Jewish people, and we say “boo,” to silence and blot their names out in the name of Yeshua.  Purim is a holiday to “proclaim the miracle,” by reading the scroll of Esther, banqueting together, sending gifts, especially, giving to the poor as mentioned in the book of Esther 9:22. 

CLICK here, to give your best Esther 9:22 gift to the poor and needy that will also bless our people during The Passover-The Feast of Unlevened Bread.




Enjoy the below pictures from our Purim

Festival Soup Kitchen

It also says in the book of Esther, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your household will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

Speaking of royalty, this month, on top of our regular weekly food bag program and soup kitchens, we have been able to do two Royalty Meals with Holocaust survivors.  One of them was together with our dear friends at Messianic Dance Camps International - MDCI and their dancing group of ten from the U.S.A., at a fabulous restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean. They performed (and I was able to join them) some amazing worship dances bringing comfort to those in attendance, and we tended to their practical needs pouring out the love of God.  Some of the Survivors even rose from their chairs to join in the joyful dance. 

Please click HERE, to support these precious Holocaust survivors to give them many more Royalty Meals this year or towards our Adopt-A Survivor Program, before it's to late.



Below are a few pictures of this amazing Royalty Meal with

 Messianic Dance Camps International.

The other brave group came from Germany with six School teachers from a Christian high school, in hopes that they will be bringing back many youth to repeat the blessing of reaching our Jewish people with the Good News of Messiah Yeshua in the most practical and spiritual waysAll this happened during Israel’s greatest need during a time of war. Please would you prayerfully consider coming? Click here for your volunteer application.

There was exuberant love poured out on every side, and great testimonies.




Below Pictures are from the Royalty Meal with our precious German School Teacher Friends, The Royal Rangers.

Another amazing breakthrough happened this month after several years, of administrative needs for Abundant Bread of Salvation. We welcome our new part-time administrator named Sandra, to the ABOS family.  She comes with great skills and experience. Just as important is her heart for the Lord Yeshua and the Humanitarian work for the hundreds of poor and needy people we are serving every month. Can we please ask you all to pray for Sandra as she takes on this most crucial role? For such a time as this. WELCOME Sandra!

In ending this jam-packed prayer letter of celebration of God’s redemptive plan for His peoplewe must share with you a huge request from the IDF-Israel Defense Forces.  The representatives of the IDF, have approached us about the emergency need of helping them at their greatest time, as they protect the nation of Israel. They need food and emergency meals. They also need more life-saving equipment. 




Please pray and ask the Lord what you may be able to do for this EMERGENCY PASSOVER NEED! This $20,000 U.S. dollars will enable us to provide for IDF Soldiers on Israel boarders, or Widowed wives that have lost their husbands defending Israel, hundreds of displaced families. It will provide food pantry boxes, prepaid grpcery cards, and unleavened bread. We will not let them feel alone or hungry this Passover. We promised we will not abandon them and they need our support now while the holiday is here. Please click HERE to give your largest Passover Blessing Gift.

ABOVE, are a few of the Soldiers faces that we have blessed and are still needing to provide for their basic essentials including security defense life saving items.



Thankfully, we have a great and mighty God who hears our prayers and knows their needs. We need to double up on raising funds this month and next month to make this all fall in place and help these who are putting their very lives on the line for Zion’s sakeWill you please consider helping with any amount of the $20,000 dollars or more needing to be raised? We know He can do it! Your help and prayers are greatly appreciated!

Precious Friend of Abundant Bread of Salvation,

"Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us, that we shall be called the children of God!" (1 John 3:1) This month is known as the month of love, mainly because of the holiday of Valentine’s Day, especially in America. Although it is not a biblical holiday, commercially it is celebrated here in Israel. His love is the same every day and eternally forever. Halleluyah! On a personal note, God’s great love was poured out when He created me. I was born this month fifty-five years ago. Little did I know that, although I was born in the "City of Angels" (Los Angeles, California), He had a great plan and purpose to use me here in Israel. I have now been here in the epicenter of the world and prophecy for over half of my life, almost 28 years now. Praise Adonai! He knows what He is doing and remember, He loves you and has great plans and purposes for you as well. It is not by chance that you are connected with us and Abundant Bread of Salvation.

The scriptures speak much about love - however, also about hate. The whole world seems to know the famous scripture in Ecclesiastes 3:8 that says, “A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." Sadly, with the ongoing war in Israel against her enemies, there is worldwide hate towards Israel simply for defending herself and doing its utmost to bring back the now 134 Jewish prisoners that were kidnapped, tortured, raped, beaten, and massacred just to use a few horrific words of this new and even worse war than the Holocaust, that happened on October 7th, just because we are Jewish. It’s so sad to think that if our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) was humanly with us today that He would have been massacred or kidnapped because of being born of a Jewish mother, Miriam. The Good News is that He gave His life freely as a ransom to die, not only for the Jews and the Arabs, but for the sins of the entire world. "What greater love is there than this, than He that gave his life for his friends?" (John 15:13) Wow! Thank you Abba!


Pictures Below: Prayers for a quick, mighty and miraculous release of our 134 Israeli hostages. Also, prayer for our resilient IDF Soldiers that are fighting for our very existence as a Jewish nation. PLEASE, stand with us in prayer and advocate by sharing this prayer letter and pictures with those who care. Amen!

A new season has started for our soup kitchen this month, as we had a few months break. Our Holocaust survivors and poor and needy people were filled with exuberating joy and blessings as we served them a five course, sit down meal showing and telling them how much they are loved and cared for. To you that support us regularly, they thank you and we thank you as we could not do this without your faithful and sacrificial giving. This is an eternal work that brings lasting fruit. We see it and are so thankful for you and your prayers.

PLEASE, Click HERE to give your largest LOVE gift towards the soup kitchen and the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation


Below Pictures: our new and improved soup kitchen, dishing out a five star meal. We make it as close as possible to having them sit in a five star resteraunt, with adding the Spirit and love of God in Yeshua. They are so happy and blessed every week. They even brought us flowers to bless us.

Art Therapy for the Soul. This month we had an event that was done twice for the first time with Holocaust survivors and the needy. Christine, a volunteer that was with us for a few weeks from the U.K., brought with her to Israel many gifts and skills. One of her skills is the ability of the heart and spirit through her therapeutic talent, doing art and explaining how we use our left and right sides of the brain. Our precious poor and needy people’s hand and mind skills were stretched as their spirit was moved at the amount of time, care, love and compassion that was poured out through these art projects. This is true love in action. We at Abundant Bread of Salvation are all about love in action. Amen!

LOVE IN ACTION, through giving. Please, will you prayerfully consider giving any amount from the smallest to the biggest by clicking HERE. He sees your heart!


Pictures: Art Therapy for the soul and the spirit. This was an amazing eternal assignment letting them use their hands and minds. They loved it and we also provided them with a wonderful home made meal.

More beautiful labor of love in art action below!

for the IDF-Israeli Soldiers

We continue to help our IDF-Israeli Defense Forces with carloads of food, which is then made into fresh and healthy meals by volunteers and brought to them into Gaza and on the boarder of Lebanon. They are so grateful for this and send us joyful responses for this simple act of kindness of making and giving them these very tasty, hot meals. We also continue helping the tens of thousands of Jewish evacuees that have had to leave their homes with just what’s on their back or a small backpack of their life possessions. Again, we could not do this without your love, prayers and financial support. PLEASE, stand with us in supporting the food project for these precious soldiers that are fighting our enemies as well as the evacuees that we are helping. Click HERE, to give now.

Hugs filled with the love of Messiah Yeshua,

Happy New Year - January / February 2024

Shalom and Shanah Hadasha Sameach (Happy New Year in Hebrew),

There is something special and relieving about the word “new”. In the word of God, it is stated by our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) Himself: Revelation 21:5, “And He who was seated on the throne said, Behold I am making all things new.” May this new year give you much to reflect on with the blessings and promises of God. Please, we ask you for your sincere and focused prayers for me and for our renewed team at Abundant Bread of Salvation. 

May we also ask you to prayerfully renew your commitment to financially support our kingdom work and even take a step of faith in this new year to increase your financial support? Click This Link To Donate Now

Festival of Lights-How awesome that I had the opportunity to celebrate Hannukah with my mother Gail lighting the last two candles on the Menorah.

We were able to pray the Hannukah prayers together and I was able to make a full meal including potato pancakes, steak and vegetables. Not bad for someone who doesn't cook often. Momma Gail was VERY happy.

As you read this first newsletter of 2024, I will be either just finishing my ministry speaking tour in California and Arizona or just returning home to Israel. I also had the most amazing visits with my sick and elderly Jewish mother, Gail, in Hollywood, CaliforniaWe both were very blessed to have this precious time to make eternal memories. Always thanking the Lord that many years ago, she accepted our Messiah Yeshua as her Lord and Savior.




ABOVE: A Few pictures from my speaking engagements. We made many more new friends to stand with Israel and pray and support the work of Abundant Bread of Salvation. That means YOU!


We enjoyed lighting Hannukah candles, celebrating New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, having times of prayer and fellowship as well as special trips and meals together. I love Psalm 145:4 that says, “One generation shall commend Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.” My relationship with my precious mother reflects this verse. Praise Adonai! 

I also reflect on and remember my father, Frank, who passed into glory at the end of this month one year ago. May his name and memory be remembered forever. I miss him greatly and his father (my grandfather Yoachim "Manny"), is the very legacy leading to my making Aliyah (immigration) to Israel almost 28 years ago. Halleluyah!

Fun train ride from Los Angeles to San Diego to bring mom to meet her cousin Suzi. They had such a great time seeing each other again.

Mom and I celebrating the lights on Christmas Eve in the Garden of Lights. Memories forever!

MAKING GREAT MEMORIES ENDING THE YEAR WITH

 MY JEWISH MOTHER GAIL

OF BLESSED MEMORY-ONE YEAR MEMORIAL OF MY ABBA FATHER FRANKLIN SLATER

MISSING YOU GREATLY ABBA

MAY HIS NAME AND MEMORY BE FOREVER A BLESSING!

I was able to visit my Father Franklin's grave site this week, where I buried him in his final resting place on the

 Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem

Israel at War for Her existence, which includes

Christians and Jews. 

    Speaking of new chapters, Israel continues its war against terrorism and her enemies, which are also the enemies of all modern civilization that does not believe their false doctrine and bow down to their God. We are losing young Israeli soldiers daily fighting for the above purpose and there is at least 100,000 Israeli citizens and children that are displaced from their homes. This has all become an additional outreach for Abundant Bread of Salvation. We continue to provide food bags for over 400 poor and needy, including single mothers, widows, refugees, Ukrainians, Russians, Ethiopians, the drug and alcohol rehab center and many Holocaust survivors that are daily passing away

    As a matter of fact, the leader of the local Holocaust survivors, Nachum, and his wife who passed away roughly a year ago, left me with all their earthly belongings. Of course, I didn’t need them, however with a few volunteers we collected them with a couple of cars and put them in storage until now. We recently were able to give all the contents of their home to the needy families that have been affected by this current war. This included, bedding, pots, pans, kitchen utensils, clothes as well as other necessities. So now their material earthly possessions live on for another generation, which is just amazing as we all experience this horrible current war that is much worse than the actual Holocaust from WWll.


PLEASE PRAY! - PICTURES BELOW ARE JUST A FEW OF THE FACES OF OVER 270 THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THIS EVIL ENTITY, SINCE THE INCURSION INTO GAZA. PRAY FOR THE ONES STILL ON THE FRONT LINES FIGHTING, FOR THEIR WELL BEING AND PROTECTION AND WISDOM. MAY LEGIONS OF SUPERNATURAL ANGELS PROTECT THEM. AMEN!

Sadly, but PROUDLY, ALL of these young brave men IDF Soldiers gave their lives protecting the Biblical ONLY Jewish State of Israel. May their names and memories be forever a blessing.

Sadly, but PROUDLY, ALL of these young brave men IDF Soldiers gave their lives protecting the Biblical ONLY Jewish State of Israel. May their names and memories be forever a blessing.

Israel is being attacked on eight fronts. Abundant Bread of Salvation is busier now more than everworking tirelessly on all fronts to bring the most practical needs to pass as well as the spiritual needs and hope that our people have which can only lastingly be found in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus).

PLEASE ABBA, TAKE A MOMENT TO PRAY IN YESHUA'S NAME FOR THE SAFE AND QUICK RETURN OF OUR CURRENT 136 ISRAELI HOSTAGES FROM OUT OF THE HANDS OF HAMAS.

BATTLE FOR ZION-ISRAEL ON EIGHT FRONTS

I AM ZELOUS OVER ZION-MAY THE IRON DOME OF OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN BE ALWAYS PROTECTING AND PREPARING HER FOR THE SOON RETURN OF OUR MESSIAH AND KING YESHUA.

Will you please stand with us in this new year 2024? Will you pray about increasing your monthly gift or give an additional generous one-time gift? The needs have more than doubled in every way. Just for the monthly practical food aid, we must raise almost $20,000 U.S dollars each month

CLICK HERE NOW and Please prayerfully consider what you may be able to do and please pass on this prayer letter to others. If you would, also prayerfully consider volunteering with us.

     We send our love and blessings to you and your family in the name of Messiah Yeshua who makes all things new.
