Sorry to be so late - I just returned from a speaking tour

No one really knows how many Messianic believers are in Israel. Throughout Israel, there are about 85+ groups meeting in houses - a few of them have their own building.
There are more now than 5 years ago. In my own town, it was hard to find a handful of believers five years ago, but now there are more than 200. Because of different languages, we meet in three groups, yet there is a spirit of unity and we do get together for special projects. It's happening everywhere in Israel.
Plus, the young people are actively sharing their faith and bringing other young people in. Faith in Y'shua is the only answer to the hopeless empty feeling in a secular society. Some of the small soldier units are made up entirely of believers who pray before going out on a mission.
There are a lot more believers now than when Elijah complained to God and He answered that 7000 have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Basically, we are in the end days and the Holy Spirit is moving! Time is short and we feel it.
