Sh'ma Ministries - A Ministry to Jews & Gentiles
A message from Torah Talk on ning  (Jan. 17, 2010):
 
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
A while back my family, which consist of a wife and three children 
still at home, were going through a desperate financial crisis due to 
the economic downfall. At one point, I didn't know how I was going to 
feed them. It was particularly heart wrenching to look into the faces 
of a 6 month old and an 18 month old and know that they were hungry and 
I had no way to comfort them. I had gone to the state for aid (food 
stamps, etc...) but the process was to take from several days to 
several weeks and we were already hungry.
What is such a blessing is that I did not have to rely on the state... Some of you, my brothers and sisters in the body of Messiah reached 
out to me with money, food and much needed prayers during that very 
tense time. Because of the love shown to me by Yah's people. My family 
and I made it through that time in peace.
Today, Yah has once again blessed me with the means to support my 
family and we are able to keep our home and if you have seen me, it is 
obvious I eat a little more than I should! Halleluyah!
Yesterday I was informed of another family of Yah's people 
here where we are (consisting of an Husband, wife and SIX children) who 
are in similar dire straits. The husband has suddenly taken ill and 
cannot work. The wife has six children to take care of and if the 
husband cannot work, the family doesn't eat. 
I am writing this letter because if the people of the world can rally 
around the crisis of a heathen nation in the Caribbean, surely the people of Yah can rally around the need of a brother and sister in the Body of Messiah 
and come to their aide. I believe that the Body takes care of its own 
and we don't need the government to help the children of the Most High.
This family is in urgent need of your prayers, and your financial help 
or any help your can provide. If you are able and willing, please email 
me at eriqbenel@yahoo.com or on the website.
 
YHWH bless you and I hope to hear from you soon.
