Happy Pentecost! Most Christians think of Pentecost as the story of the early church in Acts 2, which many churches will commemorate this Sunday, May 19. But as mentioned in our Jewish Facts of Life last month, the Festival of Pentecost goes all the way back to the Law of Moses.*
Last month we highlighted answers to prayer from our "Christ in the Passover" season. Many of our missionaries had barely had time to catch their breath when we asked them to send us stories from tour, so we have more cool stories to share with you this month.

This edition of RealTime comes to you on Yom ha-Azma'ut, Israel's Independence Day (from sundown to sundown, April 15-16). Sixty-five years ago the modern state was born out of the ashes of the Holocaust, a true miracle of God's mercy towards His chosen people. Yet it seems as if just as many if not more people today would welcome the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people.
