“Christianity Through Jewish Eyes”

A wounded soldier

Here are some excerpts from a letter that Zola wrote around the end of March:

…the Lord has not changed His assignment for me, and so every few days when I feel like I’m having a good morning, I call together our local film crew and I make another program. Of course, we only broadcast once a week with original programs, so there will be an illusion that I’m pretty well able to do this work, and for now I am. But know that four programs will take a month to air, and eight will take two months, and so my condition will undoubtedly deteriorate off-camera. But, on the whole, it’s tolerable for now. My orders have not changed. I’m still a soldier manning a post, and my Commander knows I’m wounded.

So, I’ll continue this work as long as possible. I think we will probably show some very good repeat performances from the past, and possibly some interview programs while I can do that.

I have the feeling my new orders are coming down, which are that I can start to leave this post, but it will be under protest. I still have one more TV program in mind. And after that I suppose that will be my trip to heaven.

Know that each program I make costs many thousands of dollars, but I like the idea that people see that even a wounded soldier remains useful in the ongoing battle.

    Zola,
    I only hope that when Yashua calls me home I will have the courage to accept it like you do. You are truely an inspiration to us all on how to die with dignity and honor and still serve God. I envy you so much that words cannot explain my joy for you when you will soon hear” Come,enter into thy rest my good and faithful servent”. Behold thy Crown,and Mansion made just for you.

    In his name I am your Brother always,
    See you at the house, I love you!!!

    Zola, you’re looking at your situation and from the evidence you know you’ll soon be in heaven.
    Well I’m looking at the situation in Israel and in the world, “the fig tree and all the trees,” and from the evidence I know we’ll ALL be in heaven soon.

  3. Charles Lamson(skyflyer4ever) Says:

    Yes Zola, when the time comes you will see Him as He is, face to face; and your joy will be full, Amen. I hope I have the courage that you have when I approach my time of closure on this earth. I would have loved to meet you in person and have a chat about Israel. Your TV programs and the Levitt Letter are so well done; and I’ve grown to love Israel. Zola, I look forward to meeting you in Heaven some day.

  4. Kimberly Woolmaker Says:

I really am PROUD of the way you are handling this. You are a BRAVE soldier Zola Levitt. I love 2 Corinthians Chapter 5,,, it is what i hold on to Zola. I hope all of us who LOVE the Lord will not be to far behind you my freind,it looks like prophecy is near the end as we know it ,the RAPTURE cannot be to far away. I hope and pray for God to give your wife such great peace and to strengthen her and your whole family and us who LOVE you and your teachings.

    Zola:
    The president of Iran announced today that Israel must be annialated. Israel says it will take about three years for Iran to develop that kind of nuclear power. This tells me the church will probably be out of here in approximately three years. Iran’s attack on Israel will be the one that gives the beast his foothold. It’s all come true Bro. Everything you’ve been saying for thirty five years has come and is coming to pass. It is not only time for you to leave but for all of us to get out of here. Seeing Jesus’ beautiful face and hearing His thundering voice will be the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to any of us with the exception of being saved. I’m still praying God will hold you up (divine health) dispite what the doctor’s say, and let you stay a while longer. Do what the Lord said, take one day at a time and serve Him that day. He is your Shield and your Buckler. You remind me so much of Saint Paul when he said “my departure is at hand”. That word departure in the original Greek was the same word used for ships leaving a port to go to a new destination. May everyone of us check out of this world with the same unwavering faith and joy as you. If you see Jesus before me, please tell Him to hurry. We’re all anxious to go Home.
    I sure do love you Zola.

  6. Timothy Gahles Says:

    Zola,
    If I had only had the chance to meet you! Yet soon and very soon, you are going to see the king. I envy you. But most of all, I look to you as one of the most faithful and joyful believers I have ever seen. May God give you His unsurpassing peace at this time, and may your example ignite thousands of Christians with that Holy Fire that you have run your race with.
    WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD!
    Until we meet again in Glory,

    Rev. Timothy Gahles

  7. Diana J. Wharton Says:

    Dearest Mark,
    Thank you so much for keeping us informed and thus enabling us to send our love, prayers, and hearts caught up in the fruits of the Ministry of Yeshua. Just wanted you to know, it sure does mean a bunch to share in the battles and enjoy the victories. On my computer I have a reminder note:

    “The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph!”

    Would you believe from a Chinese fortune cookie? Where do they come up with this wisdom? Ah, old wisdom is never out of style. As Zola has said 10,000+ times, it is the Jewish people who have worshipped the same God, spoke the same language, said the same prayers, celebrated the same feasts, and loved the same Land for THOUSANDS of years - and there is no other culture that can say the same. There has to be something to that worth investigating, I will say!

    I can’t imagine how difficult it is to write about that hurts the heart - yet with encouragment you continue to share. Just had to say “thank you”.

    Our prayers ARE with you all,
    Diana

  8. Larry & Sharon Wellnitz Says:

    Dearest Zola,
    Everyday we read all the love and respect that pours out to you and your family. We can’t imagine how you must be feeling, but know that we, too, join in that chorus.

    Back in 1981 when we came to the Lord, one of the first scriptures to jump off the page to us was “to the Jew first and then the Gentile”. Right after that, He directed us to Zola’s glorious program where our love for Israel has been nurtured. Since finding you, we’ve only missed a handful of programs in all these years. If the enemy’s attack was too much to take, the Lord’s Zola was always there to reassure. What a blessing you have been to us all these years.

    It is selfish on our part, we know, but the thought of losing your steadfast teaching and direction is just devastating. We, too, Zola pray everyday for your complete healing whether it be on earth, hopefully, or in God’s heaven. We pray, also, for the peace of Jerusalem. We love you, Zola.

    Shalom our friend,
    Larry & Sharon

  9. Kenneth Says:

    Zola,

    God Bless you for being faithful in God’s service, and His Kingdom’s work even during rough times. May God richly bless you. Thank you for ministering in Yeshua’s name, “to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.” My family and countless others have been truly blessed by your show and ministry. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Zola.

  10. Gina and family in NC Says:

    Dearest Zola & family,
    We love you so much, and your teachings and encouragement have meant so much in our walk with the Lord. I sit at my computer and cry for you, I read your newsletter and cry for you, …but I believe it is really for me, and for us..selfishly wanting to keep you and wanting to be with Him too…we are all homesick and know the earth is groaning as in trevail. I thank you for all you have meant to me over the years. In Jesus name, may you be healed, here or there….His will…We love you.

    Isaiah 46:3-4
    “Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by Me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made and I will bear; EVEN I WILL CARRY, and will deliver you.” Jehovah
    As you take your flight, many hearts here will be breaking. Know that you are loved and will be greatly missed.

  12. Kevin D. Kildow Says:

    Zola,

    I would like to meet you here before you go to be wth our Lord. If there is anything I can do to lend you a helping hand, please call on me and I will make every effort to assist you. I beileve that there are thousands of people praying for you and wishing they could meet you while you are still on Earth. If you plan any public engagement please let us al know. If you have time to see me I will make every effort to come meet with you. If not, I will see you in Glory!

    Your Brother in Christ,

    Precious Zola,
    When you get home, kiss the face of God for me. I love you, my friend.

  14. John Mascia Says:

    Zola,
    Thank you for the blessings you have given me and thousands of others. When I look at my Institute of Jewish Christian Studies books, and Zola’s Intro to Hebrew, I will smile and know that you have helped me to learn more about the Jewish people and G-d. Know that you are loved and I will look forward to seeing you there

    Dear Zola,

    As I write it is early ressurection morning, and yes the affirmation: The sting of death and the victory of the grave have been wiped out by the completed work of our Lord, Jesus Christ, rings as loud and clear as it did on that first dawn.
    You are a continuing inspiration to me.
    May the Lord Bless you and keep you, untill we meet either here, or in the Air!!!
    Your fan and brother in Christ,
    J. Page Barton

  18. Sandra Driggers Says:

    Happy Firstfruits/ Resurrections Day!!! What a comfort to all of us today who believe and are saved. What peace for you, Zola…and your family and to all who love you! We may not meet you here, but by God’s promise and assurance…we will meet you soon!

    In Christ’s Wounds

    In Christ’s wounds we are stranded.
    Not alone, but we are banded.
    As One Pearl of great price is He.
    His pearl necklace consists of you and me.

    In Christ’s wounds we are stranded.
    Not forlorn, but we are multi-handed.
    As One Pearl value increases all days.
    Our hands fasten the clasp with His Praise.

    In Christ’s wounds we are stranded.
    Not helpless, but we have landed.
    As One Pearl is found, we should sell.
    Everything that is between our mantle and shell.

    In Christ’s wounds we are stranded.
    Not solitaire, but we are grandstanded.
    As One Pearl is our goal.
    The gems created are the soul.

    In Christ’s wounds we are stranded.
    Not perfect, but we are sanded.
    As One Pearl is the Divine.
    We are polished to an everlasting shine.

  20. Mary O. Wagner Says:

    To dearest Zola, his family, and each of you who have written to Zola.
    As I read each of your notes, poems, and letters of compassion and love to Zola, they speak to me also, and I look forward to meeting Zola, and each of you who have written to him, feeling like you are now part of my family. If not here, but very soon in the air on that great and glorious day when our risen Lord returns for us in the Rapture. All of our hearts are breaking at losing Zola, our dear beloved friend and teacher, even though we continue to hope and pray for a miracle, but if it isn’t our Father’s will to intervene, we know that Zola will soon see Jesus, our Messiah face to face.
    Zola, even in this Christ is using you as a witness for Him, giving you strength and courage in facing death so courageously, even a looking forward to being with Him, as a good soldier of Christ.
    Zola, you have also given me such a love for Israel and the Jewish people, and reminding us to always “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”. I have also begun to study Hebrew, as you reminded us that we’ll be speaking it in the “Kingdom” to come. Also, the many books that you have written, they have given me a deeper understanding of Christ, and His Jewish roots, and how it pertains to Biblical prophecy.
    Shalom, and God be with you.
    I love you dearly, brother Zola, and your family and all your staff at Zola Levitt Presents.
    In Christ,
    Mary from Mtn. City, TN

  22. Sheryl Zeitler Says:

    DEAR ZOLA,

    YOU ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF YAHSHUA. ON THIS PASSOVER WEEK, I PRAY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO FINISH THAT LAST PROGRAM. I PRAY THAT WHEN YOU SEE YAHSHUA, ABBA FACE TO FACE, YOU WILL KNOW, THAT YOUR WORK WAS NOT FOR NAUGHT. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL. YOU ARE GOING WHERE WE WISH WE WERE GOING, BUT OUR WORK IS NOT FINISHED YET. GO, AND ENJOY THE BEAUTY AND JOY OF HEAVEN, AND THE WAVES OF LOVE. WE WILL SEE YOU WHEN WE ARE RAPTURED, OR IF WE ARE CALLED BEFORE THAT WE WILL MEET YOU IN HEAVEN. BE AT REST, AND KNOW YOU FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.

    IN YAHSHUA’S LOVE, SHERYL ZEITLER, A FULFILLED JEW.

  23. CarolRedmond Says:

    My tears are selfish. I want to go, too. I only wish the Rapture would happen before you leave us, dear Zola. We will continue to support your/the Lord’s ministry. Make sure we can be sure that whoever replaces you will never be unsure enough or threatened into softening the position on Israel and Her claim on the Land that G-D gave her. Also, make sure they stay on the media’s case. We here in the wilderness need to hear THAT ‘good news’ also. We love you, Zola. We want you at peace and in no pain.

  24. Dwight Crandall Says:

    Dear Brother Zola:
    Although my heart is heavy at the thought of your leaving us, I want you to know how very much I have learned through your wonderful, annointed teaching. I am so thankful that through the years, you have always let the scriptures be your sole authority in your life and ministry. You will be greatly missed, if the Lord calls you home; but on this Easter morning, I am reminded of the words to an old gospel song: “HOW MY HEART WILL REJOICE IN THAT MORNING, WHEN I WALK UP THE STREETS OF GOLD”.
    God bless and keep you in His care, my brother.
    In Christian Love,

  26. pamela bland Says:

    Dearest Zola, please know I will continue to watch and contribute always. My tears have not dried since I learned of your ailment…I only wish I could’ve traveled to Israel with you. Please know I dearly treasure the truths you have taught me and these truths have changed my life drastically. I don’t believe you will ever truly know the souls you have brought to our most precious SAVIOR. May the angels hold you gently in their arms. I LOVE YOU,ZOLA LEVITT!!

  27. Carol Says:

    Beloved Brother and Christian Soldier. . .You epitomize Paul’s words in Phillipians 3:14 “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”!

  28. Patricia Says:

    We are praying for you and your family, Zola. We love
    and appreciate you and all that you have taught us through
    these past few years. Our lives are greatly impacted and
    it has also changed the destiny of my children
    and my grandchildren as well.Today I was reminded of the burden
    the Lord experienced as well as all His desciples when they
    were waiting to see what the Father was about to do with Christ.
    But as you quoted, ‘no eye has seen, no ear has heard what
    the Lord has in store for those He loves’. I heard this
    verse through your awesome series ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ and
    when I have heard it since I am reminded of Zola Levitt.
    Thank you for all you have imparted to us, Zola.

  29. John Misko Says:

    Hello Zola and his family, many thanks for doing God’s work over the years and into the future. I have been a “lazy”, “passive”, and “sleeping” Christian akin to what you have quoted about most or at least some of the churches in America. I really learned more about God from you, especially about the Islamic religion which Satan had undoubtedly created and about God’s promise and love for Israel as God’s chosen people (amen). Zola, it’s kinda hard for me to stop shedding tears while typing this posting, but it always is a privilege to watch your TV programs with closed captions cuz I am deaf. Furthermore, I am praying for you and your family. Brother Zola & family, God bless you all.

  30. Clayton and Tammy Moen Says:

    We Love You Zola

  31. Donna Says:

    Zola…you are such a blessing! Your faithfulness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ has reached so many people (Jew and Gentile alike). Thank you, for deeply enriching my faith with a better understanding of it’s Jewish roots, as well as giving me a renewed love for God’s Chosen people. Most of all, I want to thank you for inspiring me and my husband to finally make a trip to the Holy Land (June 2004 with Sandra and the crew). That trip has been a blessing beyond what words can express!
    Our prayers are with you, Sandra, your family and staff. I look forward to meeting you when we worship our Lord together in the coming “Kingdom”. Until then, I will faithfully “pray for the peace of Jerusalem”.
    Thank you and God Bless! Donna

  33. Cheryl Beals Says:

    Dear Zola

    I did write to you a while back. I am still believing for a miracle. I have only been a fan for a few perhaps 6 months but have only recieved two of your news letters. I have never seen your program because I don’t have tv hooked up. I would like to try to get it on the web. Don’t know if I can or not. I feel you are still needed here. There are so many souls who don’t know about your work. I have spread the news to several friends and some of them already ordered your letter. I have ordered extra copies to share with churches and others. I only wish I had all the news letters. It would be well worth reading them. God Bless you I am so blessed that I have at least got the letters that I have. I wish I would have listened to my dear friend Joyce 6 months earlier. Jesus I ask you to heal Zola. Give him a new healthy cancer free life In your name I ask and I do believe in healing. Amen

    Love Cheryl

    SEE YOU LATER ZOLA.

  35. Carol Zajicek Says:

    Dear Zola,

    This Easter has been like none other. We did much talking about the empty tomb, and how being absent from the body is being present with the Lord. The Resurrection is the event our blessed hope rests on. I think we all have that ache to see the Lord face to face, and believing as I do in the rapture, we may all experience that before morning! We’re happy you can still occasionally work, and rest assured we’ll hang on every word you leave us, but hope you don’t overdo. I pray that you are kept comfortable and content in these most unsusual circumstances. Our Love, affection, and prayers are with you.

    Here, there, or in the air, Zola, we will meet each other. It will be my honor to introduce myself as your student.

    Your sister in Christ!
    Carol

  36. Gene Le Sage Says:

    Zola,

    This world just won’t be the same with out you in it.
    I myself can’t wait to meet the Lord and My Lord’s servant Zola face to face
    someday. Thank you for building my faith.

    Love you

    Gene

  37. Gale Drew Says:

    Dear Zola, Sandra and Mark,
    It was with sadness that I read the latest two postings. Sadness, selfishly for myself and those of us who listen to you every week and count on your words of truth. Sadness for Sandra and Mark, knowing the end of this life for you is near, unless G-D raises you up for more time here. As a widow, I know the path Sandra will walk. The main thing that gave me comfort, and still does, was knowing the next face my husband saw was His Lord and Saviour and his earthly body was at rest. Sandra, life here will never be the same BUT, and thank G-D for the BUT, we have that Blessed Hope that carries us through! We will all be together, never again to part, forever with our Lord. We may never understand His doings; but we can be sure it is for the best for all of us. As the song says, “we’ll understand it by and by”. Love, Shalom, Praying for you and the family and Zola for peace, courage and strength for the day. With all my heart, Gale

  38. Pat and Gordon McBride Says:

    Dear Zola and Sandra,
    Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are so wonderfully blessed by your positive outlook on the workings of the Lord thru your lives. Your ministry has been such enlightenment to us and encouragement to appreciate the Chosen People and the land that God has given them.
    We realize, Zola,you are ready to meet the Lord, and how Sandra has encouraged all of us in keeping the ministry going–but we’re not ready for you to leave so our continued prayers are for the Lord to supply the right amount of strength and energy for you to continue teaching God’s Word a little longer so that many seeing and listening to you will become believers in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
    We love your saying: “I’ll meet you here, up there, or in the air!” Thanks again for letting the Lord bring His message through you.
    We love you.

  39. Rick & Joy Roe Says:

    Beloved Brother Zola and family and staff,

    We so deeply appreciate all the work you have done through the years and all the fruit that will be on your account because of your faithfulness to your Call.
    We enjoy all the programs and the great effort it takes to make these programs and for your ministry to the world, God will see that it carries on if you do not got the miracle we are all asking from God.

    Sandra we know you will stretch and grow in so many ways to fit the shoes of Zola, But God can and will do it. Be encouraged that you have many that are praying for Zola to recover, nothing is to hard for the Lord. He sent His word and healed them of ALL their destructions.
    Our tears are many, but so are our prayers. You have done more for the truth in the middle east and revealed stories that no one else dare tell, We love and appreciate you so much.
    Be strenghtened in the Lord dear brother in the fight for truth and salvation, and your healing. Be healed in Jesus name,
    Thank you so much for all the years of your faithfulness to get out the truth of the gospel.
    We love you, and are praying for you.
    Believing for a miracle in your body,We will see you here or in heaven soon, as Jesus is coming.

    His servants, Rick and Joy Roe

  40. DeLila Says:

    Zola and Sandra,

    God bless you and keep you and give you strength. I pray that God will heal Zola, but not my will, but God’s will be done. I suspect He needs Zola to help prepare for us all in heaven (Yeeehaw :)..Texas talk)

    I have loved your music for some time and just ordered all of them as they just speak to me. I know you will be ready to, “RUN WITH THE HORSES”. Every time I hear that, I think of you. We will be following you to Galilee and will know we are home.

    My husband and I were lucky enough to enjoy your teaching in person several years ago in Dallas. This was the same time the Dead Sea Scrolls where there. Such a special time for us. You have been so faithful to the truth and that is so rare now days. I thank you for that.

    I hope you are listening to the beautiful music God gave you. Wow, you are so blessed.

    We love you both.

  41. Effie Bowden Says:

    Dear Zola,

    I have watched your program for many, many years. I fell in love with you and your ministry from the first time I saw you. I have learned so much from the Holy Spirit through you. You are an inspiration to me during this time in my life. I too am under attack physically and I am praying and believing for both of our healings!

    My dream has always been to go to Isreal with you on one of your tours, that may or may not come to pass. But, I still believe it will. I will always keep praying for your deliverance from this attack. May God continue to bless you, your family and ministry.

    Thank you for your service to the Lord!

  42. Angie Says:

    Dear Zola,

    Thank you for your faithfulness to the work that Jesus placed before you to accomplish while you were on earth. Your work has exposed many areas of darkness. It has helped my mom and I stay alert to the deceitful ways of the enemy and to know how to pray for our own Church and for our beloved Jewish sisters and brothers.

    My prayer is that we will all take your example and truly apply ourselves to and finish the work that God has given each one of us; that while it is still daylight we would be found faithful in doing the work of the Lord.

    All praises to the Holy One of Israel, He’s Jesus Christ the Lord!

    Mom and I love you, Zola. We openly thank God for you and your ministry. We will continue to support it in any way we can.

    Shalom,
    Angie and Maria

  43. Lourdes Manning Says:

    I love you my friend,and thanks to you i understand so much more now.May our Lord Jesus take you in His arms and Love you till you are transformed into pure love and peace,and you shall radiate with such brilliance, that His love will shine through you unto us.

    I will meet you in the morning,
    Just inside the Eastern Gate.
    Then be ready, faithful pilgrim,
    Lest with you it be too late.

    Refrain

    I will meet you, I will meet you
    Just inside the Eastern Gate over there.
    I will meet you, I will meet you,
    I will meet you in the morning over there.

    If you hasten off to glory,
    Linger near the Eastern Gate,
    For I’m coming in the morning;
    So you’ll not have long to wait.

    Refrain

    Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning;
    For the Bridegroom watch and wait.
    He’ll be with us at the meeting
    Just inside the Eastern Gate.

    Refrain

    O the joys of that glad meeting
    With the saints who for us wait!
    What a blessèd, happy meeting
    Just inside the Eastern Gate!

    You have been such a big part of my life for the past 22 years that I will miss you very much, however, I know your work is going on and we have so much of you left with us in all of your tapes, books, writings and music.

    I enjoy reading all the post to you and I know you feel encouraged from all the blessings sent your way….You are greatly loved by all of us.

    I am praying each day for you and we know our Lord hears and answers our prayers and we are asking for His blessed will to be done……We know He will answer our prayers.

    We love you Zola, you are a true soldier indeed, what an example you have lived for us……Thank you so very much for BEING YOU.

    God bless you Zola.

  47. Jessica Sanz Says:

    Dear Zola:

    I refuse to give up on your being healed by Our Lord Jesus. I believe Jesus wants you to be miraculously healed as a sign to all our unsaved Jewish loved ones. Please do not give up hope. All my unsaved Jewish friends and family think that I am the most persistent person they have ever met. I believe and never stop praying that God will heal, save, and deliver them all!!!

    Everlastingly at prayer for you and them,

  50. Michele H. Says:

    Dear Zola,
    You are in my heart and in my prayers. I have a heavy feeling in my heart that you are going through these frightening physical changes. I know with my faith in Christ, and yours as well, that everything will be fine. I just want you to know that I will be thinking of you as you go on this final earthly journey. My Grandmother is facing her last battle with cancer as well. This one too is terminal. She may only have a month left. I know that you will be missed here on earth by many. I look forward to meeting you in God’s kingdom someday. I want to thank you for educating me about my Jewish brothers and sisters. I am not Jewish but I have been grafted in by Christ Jesus. There is a love in my heart for God’s chosen people. I have not yet had the pleasure to know any personally, but my heart is open for when the time comes. Again, I thank you and you are in my prayers. God bless you Zola! Love In Christ Jesus, Michele

  51. Kim & Family Says:

    Dear Zola,

    Hubby wanted me to write and ask you, ” If you’re assigned your new post, will you please see if you can get the Commander to put in the TRANSFER ORDERS for the REST of us? ‘ Hehe! - In all seriousness though, it won’t be long until we’re raptured, and we look forward to seeing you again real soon.

    We thank God for you, Zola. You took the time to teach us year after year - and we’ve watched your program for many. Though we’re praying for a miracle for you every night, we can’t help but feel very selfish. Thank you, Zola, for all you’ve taught us. We love you!

  52. Judy Says:

    Dear Zola and Sandra,

    I well remember the first time I heard about Zola Levitt. You and your lovely wife had come to our Messianic congregation (Indy)to speak a few short years ago. It was amazing to see how many people came! So many people flocked into our little sanctuary to hear you speak the truth of our Lord and Savior Yeshua as well as the current events of Israel. We were packed! Since hearing you at our congregation, I attempt, now and again sometimes successfully, to watch your t.v. program but the wee hours of the morning are really rough on the peepers.

    The news of your cancer has left us puzzled and sad; sad because we couldn’t make sense of this new curve ball sent your way (after all you had just successfully recovered from heart surgery). Irregardless, miracles still happen. And it is written that nothing is impossible with God! Hang tightly to this and every promise He has ever given to us as believers! (Hebrews 11)

    Our Rabbi and other congregants lift up prayers for your healing and we will continue to do so until healing occurs.

    Shalom

  53. Kimberly Carter Says:

    Dear Zola,
    I just discovered you and your show a few months ago. When I first saw your program I was so excited I immediatly hit TIVO to record all shows. I,ve been a christian for many years but something happened to me a few years ago and I can not get enough info on Israel and everything Jewish! I then went to check your website. That was where I first read of your illness and my eyes filled with tears reading the words on your website. Since that time I think of you daily and remember you in my prayers.
    So, here is a little good news, my husband, who is not very interested in any Christian programming, watched your program “A personal message.” Only God knows his heart, but he was gluded to the screen listening to you! Since then we have had more and better conversations about God! Our Lord is continually using you to bless all of us!

    I pray our Loving Lord Jesus keep you and your family close to his heart during this time.

  56. Dennis Murphy Says:

    My Brother Zola,

    What a blessing you have been to me for so many years. When I was first saved, I came across your TV program “The Messiah.” I have learned so much from you. May God Bless you and bestow His marvelous grace on you. Dennis Murphy

  57. Donald Fly Says:

    Dear Zola,
    I’m so glad that the Lord brought you into my life. I thought I was the only one who understood ISRAEL in our life. I have been there 21 times in the last five years. I have learned additional things concerning Israel and those who claim to love Israel. Thank You for producing more shows, but do not forget to record other subjects.

    Your Brother In Christ,
    Rev. Don Fly

  58. Joyce Kernek Says:

    Zola,

    George and I just returned from your spring tour of Israel. We had hoped to meet you but it was not to be. We want to thank you for your steady years of ministry. Thank you for staying at your post and for remaining true to your calling. Your rewards await you and you will forever be with the Lord that you so faithfully served. Thank you also for the wonderful tour and the re-newed vision to pray for Jerusalem. The tour gave us a tremendous view of the problems and the plight of the Jewish people.

    Zola - God is with us until we meet. Thank you again.

    With love and peace,

    Joyce Kernek

  59. pat jackson Says:

    Dear zola and Family, thanks for all the wonderful programs, books, tapes and studies that you have brought to us over the years. I have never had the privilage of going to Israel but, have a love for the Jewish people. thanks to your programs I feel as though i’ve been there. at 4:oo pm on Sat. afternoons I was in front of tv watching you. if God does choose to take you home just know that you will be greately missed, you have been faithful to what our Lord called you to do and it has blessed so many of us. praying for you and your family as you walk through this time in your lives. God Bless you all. your sister in Christ, Pat Jackson

  60. Jim Dickeson Says:

    God bless you Zola. I am one of the many who has never met you, but has been blessed by your ministry. You probably cannot fully know the reach of your books and television shows. You taught me, and I will try to teach my young children. Indirectly then, you have touched two generations. Well done….

  61. Joe Hodges Jr. Says:

    I’m was sadden to learn the news about Zola illness. I’ve really come to love and understand the jewish culture and their fight for surviver even more through this ministry. I want thank my Lord and Saviour JESUS for having put your ministry in my life. Zola your humbleness and bravery has really touch me. Also thank you for telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning Israel; they’re surrounded by hate mongers yet GOD is able to keep and sustain them for His glory that is to come. Zola you, your family and are in my prayers. Love always. Your brother in the Lord. Joe Hodges. Shalom

  62. Gerda Silvius Says:

    Dear Sandra
    When we started to listen to Zola he was not even grey yet. We share the Levitt Letter and have been supporting the ministry and will continue to do so even when Zola has gone ahead of us to meet Yeshua. At the end of April we will finally go see the land of Israel that Zola always talks about. We have learned so much from him.
    Zola is receiving so many responses and I am glad and say Amen to all of it.
    Just wanted you to know that you are also in our prayers for strength and shalom. Your sister in Yeshua, Gerda Silvius

  63. Rev. Patricia ("Trish") Bratcher-Chilkewitz Says:

    Dear Zola, Staff & Family~

    (I sent a picture of you, Sandra, my husband and I to your staff e-mail address):

    This picture was taken when Rev. Lawrence “Joe” and I were attending your congregation for awhile in 2002. It was the Purim celebration, and we all dressed for the occasion.
    We also loved the Passover Seder that year we spent with your congregation, and we learned so much MORE about what it means in light of the Bridegroom (Yeshua) and the Bride (His people as a whole).

    We enjoyed our short time with you all so much, before we came here to Florida.

    I treasure the memories of Zola asking me to light the Sabbath candles, and the open arms with which your congregation received us.

    About a year ago, we did attend a Sunday evening service Zola was speaking at, just north of central Florida where we live, and I asked the question, “Why is satan loosed for a short season?” From the passage in Revelation. It was good to see you both again.

    …And if….God’s will is that Zola should go Home soon, my precious Daddy, Rev. F. Allen Bratcher just may be among Zola’s welcoming committee…he went Home in June of 2005, five months after his twin, my Uncle Rev. Fred Bratcher passed away unexpectedly.

    On a personal note, I just can’t thank you enough for your television ministry, Zola (have watched about 15 years); for the inspirational music you’ve written which blesses us as we go to the “…secret place of the Most High…” in devotional times, and for your wonderful testimony. I’m thankful for Sandra, your family staff & congregation.

    We will continue to “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem,” and thank you for reminding us all to do that!

    God Bless, Shalom, and Love Always,

    Rev. Patricia (Trisha) Bratcher-Chilkewitz

  64. Rosemary Says:

    Many years ago I was all alone, living in a very small apartment. All I had was a job. I went to work and back to the apartment until I had to go back to work. There was a big, ugly black and white t.v. One very early morning I saw you on that big ugly t.v. and since that time you have been my teacher, friend and brother. In the ensuing years I have met many friends and whomever had not already heard of you certainly has from me including my dear husband who loves you like I do. Thank you for all you have brought to us and so many others for so long. We can see Gods blessings on you.

  65. Reba Grider Says:

    Dear Zola, my teacher, thank you for helping all of us understand our Jewish Roots. You have a great ministry and I appreciate all the efforts of your family and associates to continue during these difficult days. My prayers are with you all.

  66. Lynn Baker Says:

    Dear Zola,
    I’ve always wanted to go on a trip to Israel with you. Better yet, I will meet you in Jerusalem during the One Thousand Year Reign of Yeshua and you can show me all the beautiful sights you would have on your tour. I can’t thank you enough for teaching me all about my Jewish Roots. I sure do love and appreciate you.

  67. Beverly Gale Says:

    Dear Zola, I praise the LORD that I found your programs a few years ago,enjoyed and learned a lot. Thanks for being there. Praying for you and yours.

  69. Cheri Says:

    Dear Zola and family,

    I watched you Monday night and wondered why God would take you home. Your teachings and ministry have helped me grow as a Christian, taught me more than I have ever known about the “why” behind the different feasts and Jewish background, and reinforced my faith that Jesus is coming soon. Since I was 15, (long time ago!) I have prayed, Lord, come quickly.

    I pray that God will surround all of you with this love and glory in this time. If He decides to take you home, I feel He is coming very, very soon. If you stay, I feel He has more for you to teach us.

    My daughter went to be with Her Father 2 1/2 years ago. She was home (hospice) the last 7 weeks and I am sure you are experiencing the same presence of Jesus and the Father that she did. The night before she died she asked me if she “was shining” with God’s spirit. And she was. I know that God will be with you and your family, yet it is hard for us left behind. I know that no one in heaven would ever want to come back!

    I am praying for you, Zola and Sandra, for your sons and for those who work with you on a daily basis. You have run the good race, you have followed God’s calling.

    Remembering you all in prayer
    Cheri

  70. JP Says:

    Dear Zola & Family… I want to again let you know you are in our prayers… I know I pray for your earthly healing even though it looks like right now the Father wants you to come home… We are the ones whose loss is great because for what seemed for such a short time we were taught by a wonderful teacher (Rabbi Zola) Thank You soooo much my faith is Jesus Christ has been renewed because of your obedience to God.. If you go to be with the Father tell all the saints you see there are many of us down hear waiting for the Fathers call too.. I Love You Zola and I want you to know I’m just starting your Truth & Light Institute of Jewish- Christian Studies… God Bless you and Thanks again my Brother in Christ Jim

  71. LT Says:

    Zola:

    You are truly “salt and light” in the earth, for you make me thirsty for more of Yeshua.

  72. Debbie Doyle Says:

    Brother Zola, I’ve enjoyed your teaching since I ‘discovered’ you in 1993. I can’t begin to name all I’ve learned from you! The way you have responded to the Lord’s call for you and your family to go through this experience is a wonderful testimony to your faith and in the grace God provides to His children.

    I look forward to the day when we’ll be “in that fair land” where all “will be peace and joy and love.” And where we will “know as we are known.” Until then, you and your family are in my prayers.

    In Christ,

    Debbie Doyle

  73. June Backhaus, Sidney, MT Says:

    Zola, My husband and I had the opportunity to meet you at the JFK Airport in November 2005 before we boarded the plane to Israel without you. That trip was beyond anything we could imagine. When we learned of the news of your cancer we were deeply saddened for you and your family. We were just beginning to learn of your ministry and all that it entails. Not having cable or satellite, we have never seen one of your programs. But your newsletter has taught us much. All of you are in our prayers during this time of testing. Praise the Lord for hope He gives us beyond the grave. God bless you richly for the blessing you have been to us. Maranatha!
    In Christ,
    June Backhaus

  74. Kenneth Says:

    Zola and Sandra:

    Thank you for all you continue to do for God’s Kingdom. He has wonderful rewards in Heaven for your faithful service and dedication to Him, and His beloved Chosen Race, the Jewish People. Hang in there, and I know we will see you in Heaven some day.

    In Yeshua,

    Kenneth

  75. Bill & Kathryn Barkley Says:

    Zola, family & staff, Thank you.
    You are in our prayers at Berean Church Ministries. We love all of you and are thankful for what we have learned from this ministry over the years.
    All of the “posts” echo our sentiments as well. We look forward to an eternity in Heaven with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
    We, too, are sad when we think of being separated from loved ones, (did we tell you we love you?) but we know it is only a short season of separation and then we will all be together again in that beautiful home in Heaven.
    We thank Jesus that through His shed blood on Calvary’s cross, His payment for our sin debt and His resurrection, He has made that home in Heaven with Him possible for each of us that believe.
    What a glorious day that will be! Surely, the rapture must be close with all the events we see unfolding around tiny Israel!
    We do love the Jewish people and feel a deep hurt as we watch “the world” that seems to hate them so much. We always pray for the peace of Jerusalem just as you, Zola, have taught us to do. Thank you for all the insight you have given us concerning the Lord’s chosen people and the land. We are teaching our grandchildren what you have taught us from God’s Word. Your stedfast teaching from the Bible will truly be missed, there is so little of it in most churches today.
    Until that glad reunion day, “The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” Numbers 6:24
    Serving Him in this last hour,
    Love in Christ Jesus,
    Bill & Kathryn Barkley

  76. Isaac Umoh Says:

    Dear Sir,

    It saddens me to see your physical condition, but it saddens me more to see a Son of God who has no idea on the power inside of him. It is NOT the will of God for you to die my brother, but to live. Yehowshua Christ, our Brother, died so that you may have life and that MORE abundantly. Please don’t allow satan to steal the free gift of life and health that God has given to you by his Son. Isaiah 53:5 says that by his stripes we were healed. Think of it! Before Yehowshua was born, our Father, the God who calls things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17)considered it done!

    The question you must ask yourself is what will you believe? Will you believe the report of your doctors, ministers of satan, whose primary goal is to see you die and rot?! Or the words of the Almightly All Powerful and All Knowing God, Yehovah. If you willing to stand up, and declare that by the stripes of Yehowshua you were healed, even in the midst of your pain and suffering YOU WILL LIVE.

    I know this isn’t an easy letter to read, some may even call it rude, but I want to see you whole and healthly IN THIS LIFE. Yehowshua went through too much for you to have to suffer with such a filthy and demonic disease. I’d encourage you to read scriptures and stories in the Bible about Faith such as Romans 4, 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:4-6, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 11:22-24, John 14:12-14. Find books about others whom God was healed (Christ the Healer by F.F. Bosworth) and regardless of what you look like or feel like DO NOT GIVE UP! Don’t let unbelief and words of death come out of your mouth. Instead speak words of faith - say things like “By the stripes of Yehowshua I was healed”, “According to Mark 11:23 I can have what I say, and I say that I’m well and completely free of cancer” when people come up to you to comfort you and mourn with you, tell them that they haven’t heard God’s report, that by the stripes of his Son Yehowshua Christ you WERE healed. It sounds like foolishness, but remember, the things of God are foolishness to the world. We as Christians and Sons of Yehovah God do not walk by sight, but by faith (2Cor 5:7)

    Please, ask God our Father to help you speak words of faith in the name of our Lord and Saviour Yehowshua Christ, because just as Yehowshua said, without him we can do nothing. Ask him to fill you with his Holy Spirit so that you can boldly declare his word and be HEALED.

    I believe that God has opened up your mind to hear these truths and that I’ll one day turn on the TV and see you testifying of how God healed you!!

    Take care, and God may bless you and your family,
    Isaac Umoh

  77. Ron Bechtold Says:

    Dear Zola,

    As I write this I am watching one of two of your programs which I taped while at church on Sunday. My eyes are filled with tears as I write to say thanks for your gracious and loving ministry, and for being a shining disciple of Jesus. I’ve always thought you would be around until we all get the call.. and it is my fervent prayer that you will be. For many years I’ve had a longing in my heart to go to Israel on one of your tours. I must also confess that I am ashamed and greatly regret that I have failed to support your program the way that I should have. With that being said, I am hereby entering into covenant with you to support your ministry with a minimum of $50 a month until the great and wonderful rapture, or whenever I am called home. Thanks for heeding God’s call. I don’t exactly know what we will all be doing in the New Jerusalem, but it would an honor and a privilege to serve under your command. You and your family will continuously be in my prayers.

    Respectfully
    Ron Bechtold

  78. Janelle Roads Says:

    Dear Zola,
    We know God’s ways are higher than our ways. Even though we can’t see the good in all of this we just have to trust Him. I know you know this.
    You are such an inspiration to all of us in so many ways.
    I have been watching you for about 3 years now, and had the added joy of seeing you in person at a local church here in Pensacola. I have gotten so much out of your website. I have ordered your DVD on Passover, your Introduction to Hebrew book, some of your wonderful music and the Haggadah. You are so talented and gifted.Thank you for pouring yourself out to the world for the sake of the gospel. I love you, and the Jewish people, and will always pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
    With much love and admiration, Janelle

  79. Al Miner Says:

    My Friend, when Jehovah Saboath finally relieves you of your post, the following will be your reward for you call to duty.

    Hebrews 12 (New Living Translation)

    22)… you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to thousands of angels in joyful assembly. 23) You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge of all people. And you have come to the spirits of the redeemed in heaven who have now been made perfect. 24) You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which graciously forgives …

    My friend, you have come to all these blessing, for you have overcome the world.

    I can’t wait to formally introduce myself to you, in our Father’s House, some day! My mansion or your? :)

    Al.

  80. Bob Hess Says:

    Zola,
    You have taught me more about Israel and Christianity than anyone else. You have been a teacher and a friend. I am sorry that I never got to meet you or take a trip to Israel with you, but I do look forward to meeting you in Heaven. There is no doubt in my mind that God will say to you “Well done, my faithful servant”.
    I will miss you, as will many thousands, but you will never be forgotten. You are loved and respected. Your books and videos will continue to teach the truth about Jesus, Israel and the Jewish roots of Christianity until the Rapture. Then we will all be home.
    Thank you, and God Bless you and your family.

  81. C. T. Says:

    God bless you, Zola.

    You are my big brother in the Lord and I want to be as brave and faithful as you are.

    May God give you peace and joy in your heart.

  82. Joy Says:

    I have been taught that Bible Doctrine is the most important thing in life, and that is the only thing that goes into heaven with us, from this earth. Knowing that you are well armed makes me grateful.
    You and your family are to be greatly admired for your spiritual outlook on your imminent departure. You have done that which you ought and were here to do. God’s blessings on Zola and everyone involved in the ministry.
    Joy

  83. Johnny Says:

    I love you Zola Levit…”Say it ain’t so!” I know that Jesus loves you more and seeks to have you with Him but this attack by the deceiver is disgraceful. I have felt like one of your students all these many years and I’m very distressed at the possibility of you leaving. I understand your desire to be with Him but the thought of a soldier like you passing the shield of Faith and the sword of Truth saps my strength and saddens my heart. Forgive me please, if I seem selfish. I will not dishonor you with my tears but rather take up my Cross and advance against the strongholds of the enemy. By the Authority given to me in the name of Jesus Messiah, Satan “Get thee behind me…”

    “Pray for the Peace of Israel”…Big Hug, my friend…for great is our reward in Heaven.

  84. Chris Nelson Says:

    Dear Zola, I saw your broadcast this morning on INSP (6:30am ET) and I see how the Lord has used your skills, which you didn’t know you had (but the Lord knew), and touched people that you wouldn’t have ever seen in person. Books, Radio, and T.V. are great mediums in which to spread His Word. I liked the part where you were arguing with the Lord about “where’s the money” and it was already in your mailbox before you had started the one sided argument. I’ve been relearning that lesson again now, but I keep coming back to the fact of Jer. 29:11, His thoughts of us are always good and for our benefit and He is always wanting to trust us with more and more responsibility. You have been very effective for the Lord and the Enemy is just trying to get rid of you. Your programs with former terrorists and Arab fundamentalists have given me more insight into their thinking and how Christ can change all of our hearts and minds. I thank you for your willingness to do this and I thank your family and staff for their willingness also. Keep claiming God’s healing as said in Mk. 11:23&24 for we have already been healed by Jesus’ stripes (1 Pet.2:24). I’m looking forward to hearing more programs by you! Sincerely, Chris

    I watched ZL Presents last night and it was totally awesome. His entry into the ministry and how he progressed through the years. I logged on this morning and saw the news. I know that at this very moment, Zola is worshipping the Lord and meeting all the great ones who went before him. I bet he has shaken hands with Paul, Peter, Abraham, and all the others! The joy he is feeling must be too deep and overwhelming to find words to express just how it must be. I pray for his wife and family; how blessed they must be to know Zola is in Heaven…waiting on them! He seemed a part of our family; we will miss him terribly.

    I’m sure that Zola heard the words, ” Well done good and faithful servant…enter in to the joy of the Lord.” That’s what it’s all about..that’s what we’re here for. To give glory to the Lord as long as we live.
    I really enjoyed Zola’s ministry throughout the years. Particularly so with his Passover tapes and the wonderful insights to Christ that they redeemed Jews are privy to because of their Old Testament background.

    My prayers for the family. May Jesus give you peace.

    i came back to the arms of yeshuathree years ago after 12/years of wondering aimlessly in the dark. zola is one of the untiring warriors that helped me find my way back. i was hoping to go to israel with zola this summer/fall but zola has taken the trip of a lifetime and i shall miss him terribly.i have prayed and prayed for gods will to be done concerning zolas illness, gods will was done by taking zola home to be with jesus, abraham, isaic and jacob…. i know zolas work will go on through me because he has taught me so much about the bible and our jewish heritage. we will all miss zola but very soon we will see him again…when we also get called home in the rapture. i will see you there. in christ.penny e. davis

  94. Dorotha Stevens Says:

    I cannot stop weeping. God saves the tears of all of us in a bottle. What a gigantic bottle it is going to take to hold the tears of all of us who are weeping at the passing of Zola…even though we know Zola stands in the presence of God while all the angels of heaven are rejoicing at his homecoming. We don’t understand the ways of God, because His ways are higher than our ways. I cannot understand, at this time, why God chose to take Zola home now. But, again, His ways are higher than our ways. Perhaps, since the hour is so late and the TRIBULATION is so near, Zola was called home to be SAVED OUT OF IT.

  95. susanfike Says:

    How do we say thank-you for the wonderful blessing you have been to my life and the lives of my family. My dad also loved your program. Since he went to be with Jesus in 1990 He can thank you in person Now! I am praying for Sandra that she will be encouraged to continue the work you began until that “Meeting in the Air” where we will meet you with Yashua. Thank-you For continuing the work Sandra, I’ll be praying for you. See Col 2:6,7

    My condolences to Zola’s family.

    Zola Levitt was an inspiration for me. He always seemed so confident about his beliefs.
    Unlike other evangelists, I did not hear him speak evil of others. He concentrated on the positive.

    May Yahweh give him his reaward in the afterlife. He was a great warrior.

    When I decided to open a Church,a Zola was someone I had in mind as a role model.
    He was in a dream I had on July 4, 2004. He was part of a long line, which also included people like Arafat, Pope John Paul II, Sharon, Rehquist, King Fahd, terri Sciavo, Peter Jennings,…I had mentioned Zola here

    To all the Levitts who loved Zola and hugged him every day…..such sorrow to read right now that he is gone but I rejoice for his new address in heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be when we all see Jesus………………… I shall continue to watch for Zola’s wonderful humble face on future programs. Praise God for all his words to us about Yeshua. Shalom and love to you all. See you in heaven. Betty from Virginia

  100. Donald Fly Says:

    Dear Zola Levitt Family and Ministries,
    I’m glad the Lord allowed Zola into my life. He was a confirmation for me concerning
    Israel and the Jewish people. I have been to Israel 21 times. I could never figure out why the Lord was allowing me to go. Your husband and father gave me that answer.

    God Bless,
    Rev Don Fly

  101. Imogene Linedecker Says:

    Hello Sandra and family
    Just have to express how I will miss the honest, straight-forward from Bible teachings from Zola. I so appreciated his teaching we are all one, Jew, Gentile, male, female in Jesus. My health dictates I will have to wait to go to Israel after I leave this earth. I am asking Jesus to let me meet Zola in the new Jerusalem temple where Zola will be playing music,my request, will see what Jesus says. My husband went to be with Jesus suddenly with a heart attack when he was 40 in 1983. The void remains, but the knowledge of their joy overcomes. God Bless Imogene Linedecker

  102. Judy Tanner Says:

    May the peace of our Lord and Savior be with you dear Levitt family. Rejoice for he is with the Master and received the ultimate healing.
    I pray the ministry continue to educate us on the events of Israel. The heartbeat of the Christian world. We must pray for her peace as our dear Brother Zola instructed us to do.
    Keep our eyes upon Jesus and look for the soon coming King!

  105. Brenda S. Cosby Says:

    Dear Levitt family and ministry staff, I write this with tears down my face ,I am a newborn, one month old, Zola student. I found him via my mother and her love for the nation of Israel.I have been watching Zola, via Tivo, for 6 weeks. I fell in love with him the first show. His teachings filled a void I have been trying to fill for 17 years. I am sorry for your loss and also sorry for myself that I missed so much. I plan to get a new computer so I can watch all the archived shows on the web site. I have become a financial supporter and have signed up for classes. I have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you for keeping the minisrty going. Most of my heros are in the Bible, aside from my family. But now I have 3 20th century heros, Corrie ten Boom, Carla Fae Tucker, and Zola Levitt. Three Christians I can only hope to be like. Zola’s reflection of the Savior is with me in my heart and I am so grateful for his obedience to our LORD.I will try to be a good soldier too, and like my beloved teacher has intructed I will Sha’alu Shalom Yirushalayim! Until I get there or in the air. Brenda

  106. The Blakemores Says:

    We will never know on this side of Heaven the multitudes of people that were touched by the Lord because of this one man saying,”Yes Lord, here I am, send me”. Zola’s ministry was so unique as it opened the bible up in an entire new way by showing us the Jewish ways, how they lived back then, what things meant then and now. He put picture words on his teachings and I never looked at the bible the same. I learned way more in debt about Jesus Christ and I have such a love for the jewish people because of Zola’s fire for the Lord.
    Not one person can say enough about this man. And we can say the same for his family. You sacrificed also and it was a great sacrifice to share him with all of us for all of these years. He could not have did what he did without the sacrifice and support of his family. We will not forget you now that he is gone. We will not forget this ministry. Everyone of his television programs could be played over and over again and we would still learn something new! We loved Zola and we will continue to love his family just as much! But most of all, we will forever love the Lord…thanks to Zola’s obedience to HIM., Jesus, the Christ!!
    Our love and prayers always,
    The Blakemore’s from WV
