for Zion's sake I will not be silent

Ted Pearce visited our congregation last Shabbat. He is an anointed musician and servant of God. He spoke about a church led by TOS Ministries in Tubingen Germany. Here are some facts from the site Galilee of the Nations who worked with Ted Pearce and many other artists to create the album: "For Zion’s Sake, I will not be Silent."

1) 70% of the Church’s members had parents or grandparents that were Nazis in World War II.

2) TOS Church members frequently visit the Holy Land and partner with many Israeli Ministries to show their unwavering love and support for Israel.

3) Pastor Jobst Bittner literally built the TOS Church building over the train tracks that took the Jews to the Dachau death camp in World War II. You have to visibly and physically cross the tracks before you enter the front door of the Church, challenging all people before they enter to remember what happened in the Holocaust to the Jews at the hand of the Nazis.

Ted told us about "March of Life" last April in Germany. From his site: "We covered 180 miles and visited the sites of 9 concentration camps ending at Dachau as Holocaust Remembrance Day began. That night we held the "Concert of Life" at a church in Munich Germany and officially released the music video "The Forgotten People"

Here is the video "For Zion's Sake I Will Not Be Silent" with captioned photos taken along the walk.

I could say much but I will let the videos above do the speaking.

If you are in Dallas next week (I wish I was) you can see for yourself what this is all about: TOS Ministries from Tubingen, Germany and Ted Pearce Ministries 3 Evenings of Strategic reconciliation October 31—November 2, 2007 at Baruch HaShem Messianic Synagogue.
