"For Zion's Sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake
I will not be quiet!" Isaiah 62:1
Welcome to Master Minded Ministries
Watchman on the Wall
"On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in Remembrance, take no rest, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth." Isaiah 62:6-7
Today, like no other time, God is calling His people to return to His land, to His Covenant and to His Agenda - Redemption! It is an invitation to those who hear His voice! We invite you, as well to discover Him and what He wants you to know about His great plan.
Master Minded Ministries is a vehicle that hosts Pro-Israel projects like: - creating educational opportunities of teaching and hosting events that will help the Christian community and the Jewish community to our roots of faith. We promote and support Pastor John Hagee and Christians United for Israel and the Nights to Honor Israel. We offer traveling opportunities to people who like to go on a study tour to Israel. We fund and support The Teacher and the Preacher radio program that is now heard in 3 different areas at 4 times on Sundays. We publish a newsletter and write articles for the the website.
This does not mean we are hateful toward Arabs or other faiths. We "know in Whom we have believed..." and we are called to love and lay our lives down for others like Jewish Jesus did. We are Believers in Jesus (Yeshua Messiah) and we are now learning what that meant. As we discover our Jewish roots of faith, we are drawn to our brothers and sisters to gain a better understanding of what that means. The depth of insight into the mysteries and wisdom of God has been explosive. Our hearts have been blessed and challenged as we have gained the right perspective of the Jewish scriptures and have so much appreciated the guidance and love of our Jewish brother and sister Charlie and Marsha Schiffman.
If you are interested in participating in these efforts, we welcome conversation. Our highest goal is to serve the Lord with a whole heart and to be obedient to His leading. If you have found us, then you are also on a journey of faith.
Thank you for joining us!

We Mourn with our Friends
Saturday, October 27, 2018 just about 10AM a gunman walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and opened fired into a crowd of people shouting "All Jews must die!"
Unbelievable as this is, this is the climate that is taking place all across America today. As people are picking sides about everything from politics to games, the violence and hatred in growing. We are facing a society that has no boundaries of civility and discretion. We have lost respect and decency in the face of so called tolerance, which seems to be so nonexistent.
Anti-Semitism isn't a new problem but it is a growing one.
And it's now time that those of us who have given our lives to serve the Lord become more than just nice people saying nice things.
We can no longer sit on the sidelines and mourn the loss of our past, but it's almost past time to get involved to take on the darkness and be the living Light that God calls us too.
Today, like no other time - we need to be overcoming evil with good and overcoming hate with love.
Here at Master Minded Ministries, we want to encourage you to "be the Light!" It is going to take more than agreeing with words and being sad to break through this current culture of hate. We need Godly men and women who know how to pray, know how to love and know what their Rabbi, Jesus means when He tells us in these words from His sermon in Matthew:
"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven. He uses His sun to shine on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others?
Do not even pagans do that?
Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:43-48
We want you to know that God's eternal covenant with His people really is an everlasting covenant (that means Forever) and our prayer is that the Lord will help us as Gentile Christians to be the blessing that He calls us to be.
To our Jewish Friends, we are praying for you and stand with you during this time of mourning and loss.

Why Israel and Why Now?
Dave and Jerri McGarrah, your tour hosts
An Open Letter To Our Visitors:
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have been wrestling much over the current situation in Israel, watching both the slanted news coverage against Israel, and the devastating loss of life of so many innocent people. I felt a need to write you concerning the situation and give you some of my thoughts.
This is a time for Christians to show solidarity with Israel as she faces an onslaught of terrorism. It is also a time to show compassion towards the Palestinians who are being sacrificed and crushed by Hamas. Consider this -
Today the war continues from the media to the politics of the nations. The "New Deal" with Iran that
America has engaged in now takes us to a new level of terrorism support. The world is upside down and waiting for the "Sons of God to be revealed." Romans 8:19.
The Bible is clear about how much God loves the Jewish people. From Genesis to Revelation, the Scriptures are clear that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has a great plan and purpose for the nation of Israel. And the Lord calls all of us to love Israel and the Jewish people, not because they are perfect, but because He loves them and wants them to know Him in a real and personal and intimate way. In Genesis 12:3, the Lord God says, “I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse thee.” Which side do you want to be on? I want to be on the side of blessing Israel, in obedience to the Lord. As followers of Jesus we are admonished to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all of Israel. But we should also speak out in her defense. We should stand up against the injustice and evil she is being subjected to. We should stand with her people who are under attack hour by hour, and show unconditional love and unwavering support.
At the same time, it is vital for Christian leaders to lead and demonstrate to how to show compassion towards Palestinians who are being walked over and oppressed by Hamas. I listened to former Ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren speak this week in an interview. He shared how the IDF observed Hamas killing more than 50 Palestinians – some because they were protesting the ongoing carnage, and others who were trying to flee their homes and neighborhoods because Israel had warned them that their area was going to be targeted. In trying to leave, Hamas confronted them and refused to let them go. As these people pushed back, they were mowed down by gun fire. The Bible is clear: God loves the Jews, but He also loves the Arabs. Jesus, as a Jew living in Israel, commanded His followers to “love your neighbor” and “love your enemy.” He traveled to Lebanon and ministered to the people there. He traveled across the Jordan River, and ministered to the people there. In the Book of Acts, we read that He sent one of His servants to minister to people on the road to Gaza. Christians are commanded to love the Arab people not because they are perfect, but because He loves them and wants them to know Him in a real and personal way. So while Christians are to love Israel and bless the Jewish people, we are not to stop there. We are to love the Palestinian Arab people, as well.
It is important for Christians to know the facts and keep the current conflict in perspective. With no end in sight to the turmoil in the Middle East, all signs and prophesies seem to point to an escalation in the violence and conflict. Yet no matter where you stand politically or spiritually regarding the current unrest in Israel, as Christians we can unite on one front: prayer.
Israel as a nation and a people are God's chosen people. In Deuteronomy 32:10 and Zechariah 2:8, the Lord God calls Israel "the apple of his eye." And God said in Genesis 12:2-3, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Psalm 122:6 also encourages us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
“Blessed Lord,
We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We’re heartbroken over the situation in Israel. Our hearts are pulled by both sides, as we watch the loss of life of innocent people. But we pray for justice, Your sovereign righteousness, Lord. And at the same time we pray for mercy. For everyone involved we pray. We lift Israel and its government and leaders. We pray for its people, and soldiers. We pray for our Palestinian brothers and sisters, and for all of the innocent of Gaza. Surround them with a hedge of Your protection. We pray for the enemy to be crushed and for Your kingdom to come and rule over the land. Protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. May your truth and light shine in the darkness. Where there is only hatred, may your love prevail. Help me as a one who loves You to support those who you support, Lord, and to bless those who you bless. Bring your salvation to Israel, dear God. Bring your salvation to the whole earth.”

What is God’s plan for the Jews in the end times?The Jewish people will be regathered from the four corners of the earth Isaiah 11:11-12. This is the most prolific prophecy in the Old Testament. Incidentally, if God has no purpose left for them, why would He go to the trouble of regathering them? Their state will be re-established (Isaiah 66:7-8). They will once again occupy the city of Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:7-8).
