Newsletter for the Month of Tevet 5784 by Sherry Lush
Friday, December 1, 2023
Shalom to All,
We at Alpha and Omega Ministries want to say how thankful we are for each and every one of you. We consider you family and thank the Lord for the Light of Yeshua that you carry to the world. It is a joy to be working with you to take His Word out to people who are hungry and to others who don’t yet know the Light and Love of Yeshua! In these times of war and chaos, it is His Light and Love and His Peace that carries us all. What a joy it is to take Him to a needy world.
The calendar now turns from Kislev to the month of Tevet. Tevet begins on a note of great hope and light as we light the last two candles in celebration of the great miracle of Hanukkah on the 1st and 2nd of Tevet. Hanukkah celebrates victory of the righteous Jews in Israel who fought the Seleucid army to preserve the observance of Torah and to be free to worship G-d! The great miracle of their victory and the amazing miracle of the one flask of clean oil found in the desecrated Temple, only enough to burn in the Menorah for one day, miraculously burned for eight days. Those eight days of light remind us of the eight names of the Messiah that come from *Isaiah 9: 5-6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is always the Light in dark times.

Newsletter for the Month of Chesvan - by Sherry Lush
Wednesday, November 1, 2023
Greetings and Shalom Dear Friends,
On October 7th, 5784, a page of history was turned. On this date, indescribable violence was unleashed on the unsuspecting, peaceful people in Israel’s south who were celebrating the special Shabbat of Shemini Atzeret – a new beginning. And since that day, nothing has been the same in the world. Israel is at war to wipe out Hamas – a terrorist group trained and ready – whose goal is to wipe out the people of Israel. Hamas is backed by Iran, a nation that calls America the 'big Satan' and Israel the 'little Satan.' Iran is one of the nations that will join a confederacy to come against Israel in the Gog and Magog war.

Newsletter for the Month of Elul 5783 by Sherry Lush
Thursday, August 17, 2023
Greeting and Shalom to All,
We are praying that everyone is enjoying summer if you are in the Northern hemisphere, and that you are all staying safe. May His presence surround us all in these days of chaos and lawlessness, and may all of our intent be to know Him more every day and bring others into His Kingdom. Our focus is on our Messiah and His words to us. *Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
We have entered the incredible month of Elul, after having gone through two months wherein grievous sins were committed. These were Tammuz when the golden calf was built and Av when the spies brought back the bad report about the land. Elul turns from these disastrous sins to the time just prior to the fall feasts, and during this entire month it is a time to seek the King, returning to Him and to seek repentance. It is a time to prepare our hearts for the fall feasts to come,
all of which represent aspects of His coming again.

Newsletter for the Month of AV 5783
Thursday, July 20, 2023
Greetings to All,
The month of Av is full of tragic and repeating events. It points out to all of us how critical it is to be in unity and loving our fellow believers. We want you all to know that you are greatly loved by us at Alpha and Omega Ministries, and so joyful that you are with us.
We serve such an awesome God, whose blood unites and strengthens all of us. His promises to us are far better than gold, for we can trust Him and His Word in this world where trust seems to be outdated.
There is not G-d like our G-d, and we can rejoice and hope in Him, always. Now is the time to help one another and remind each other of His greatness and of His goodness to us. He is a good, good Father, and we want to spread His love. May our love for him overflow to everyone we encounter every day!

Newsletter for the Month of Tammuz by Sherry Lush
Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Shalom Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We at Alpha and Omega Ministries pray that you are all well and living in the joy of the Lord every day. Even in these crazy times as everything seems to be changing before our eyes, we have endless opportunities to praise our great G-d every day. As we praise Him, and work for His kingdom, He strengthens us and opens doors giving us opportunities to share the good news and give others hope. As we strengthen others with hope in Him, He strengthens us! *Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. And now we turn the calendar to the month of Tammuz.
Many events in the month of Tammuz, though not identical to our circumstances, still echo the concerns and difficulties of the days we are living in. Human suffering in times of calamity is something all people can relate to. The following are some of the painful events we remember in the month of Tammuz:

NEWSLETTTER FOR the MONTH of IYAR, 5783 By Sherry Lush
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Shalom to All,
We at Alpha and Omega Ministries pray that this month finds each one of you thriving in the Lord and spreading His Light everywhere you go.
*Isaiah 48:3 says: 'I declared the former things long ago And they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
It certainly does appear that G-d is bringing things that we may never have dreamed to see, suddenly upon the earth. Governments are acting without the normal and expected rules and procedures, freedoms are being removed, there are shortages, there is lawlessness, and the list could go on. You all probably watch the news.
And amazingly, these things are happening world-wide; no geographical area is being left out. But we are not discouraged, as the Lord told us that when these things begin to happen, we are to lift our heads. We know these are all signs that our Messiah is coming, and He is coming soon. What a blessing and what a responsibility to be alive today. He has trusted us to bring as many people with us as possible into His kingdom, in this time! May we all be strengthened and blessed as we do the work He called us to do.

Newsletter for the Month of Nisan 2023
Saturday, April 1, 2023
We at Alpha and Omega Ministries wish you all a wonderful month as we begin the beautiful month of Nisan. This month is filled with Good News for the entire world, for the Lamb of God has come.
John the Baptizer was at Bethany baptizing people when he said these words: John 1:29 'On the next day, he sees Jesus coming to him and says, 'Behold the Lamb of God, the One taking away the sin of the world.' As we celebrate Passover this year and re-tell the story of the Passover lamb that foreshadowed Yeshua the Messiah, the Lamb of God.
We rejoice and share this great news with everyone who will listen. Not only did the Lamb of God die for us, shedding His blood for our sins, but He was resurrected on the 3rd day. He overcame death and would give eternal life to all who would accept His forgiveness and follow Him.

Newsletter for the Month of Adar 5783 by Sherry Lush
Monday, February 20, 2023
Greetings to All!
We pray you are all well and warm as we see a big cold front coming to the Northeast. We also pray you are finding many opportunities to spread the love and light of Yeshua to people who are lost and lonely. Even the headlines of our days give us open doors to tell people why we can have hope and joy. And of course, we join all of you in praying for our leaders, that they will come to know the Lord. We pray for violence and drugs to stop in our cities and our towns.
We lift up Israel and their leaders and ask for wisdom to fill their minds and for the angels to protect the very borders of that Land and the people who live there. We ask for the Holy Spirit to convict and bring people to the One who loves them and has a great plan for their lives. We ask for boldness and love that will not allow us to be quiet as we spread the hope and longing that we have for the Lord to return. Lord, we ask you for miracles!
And now we turn the page on the calendar to the month of Adar.

Greetings to All,
Praying for everyone to be surviving the winter weather and keeping warm, and hope if you have needed to fly that you got where you needed to go. In these uncertain days, it is difficult to know exactly what to plan for, but we have a promise –
