What is a Brothers Keeper?
We started this journey showing compassion and mercy to those we met. Seeking to fill their physical needs to gain their trust to reach their lives with the only thing we can give them that can change their lives. We also learned that these Truth that can set them free has to be received and walked like Messiah walked. People in developed countries have all kinds of technology from video, e-sword, smart phones, ect. As a Brother's Keeper we also teach the Way, Truth and Life... Torah Life! We have to think out of the box. We could not give them a website to go or build a Congregational Building. The issue here is how to be able to draw people to the King of the Universe through His Son. How can I leave a brother or sister in their sin? Would I be a good "keeper"?
We had been asking ministries that had Spanish teachings to send us some DVD's or CD's to share with these people. Since for many circumstances and even people seeking to pay for them, we could not find anyone who could send us some. We prayed and asked ourselves, how can we do it? We are not computer tech people but a sister's TV broke. We have no TV in the farm. Today's TV's are very different and come with USB drives. We though that just maybe we could download videos and they could see it on TV at home. So we did a trial run. We took our USB Flash Drive that had some videos downloaded in it. Our youngest son is more Tech savy than us older parents. He went and checked it out and IT WORKED! HalleluYAH!
Psalm 19:7 - 10 The Torah of יהוה is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple; The orders of יהוה are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of יהוה is clear, enlightening the eyes; The fear of יהוה is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of יהוה are true, They are righteous altogether, More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
We bought one of these, not exactly as the one shown. We downloaded about 12 teachings from ministries like 119, PFT, one movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and took them to our brother and sister. They had a wonderful Shabbat full of more teaching than what we could teach in months.We may have no money to pay for physical improvements of their needs but Not by Bread alone man shall Live, but by Every Word that comes from the mouth of YHWH.
Psalm 119:72 The Torah of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Psalm 119:127 Therefore I have loved Your commands More than gold, even fine gold!
In this way we can share many, many teachings on a re-writable device and even when technology is very limited in our side of the world we can make a difference using what is already made by others. So no man shall boast. Not just sharing ourselves. Not for a ministry name or missionary pastor such said kind of thing. We never wanted to be recognized in anything we did. We have stopped sharing a little here so we are not recognized as an Photo-op type of ministry. We live by faith and not by sight! We are doers of the Torah and not hearers only. We share our food with those who need and ask us for help.
Then we thought, how else we could share? So we saw another device. Smartphones are also expensive here so we keep older type of phones. They sell the SD Micro Phone Memory Cards. We can now also put these videos in these micro cards and share it with those who have older phones. That also would help us share the valuable Torah teachings that can be played in their phones.
So how we can be a Brothers Keeper? Keeping them from falling away. With YHWH's Torah and the Testimony of Yahshua haMashiach! They need healing and deliverance. There is something we can do together to set them free. Sharing Truth!
James/Ya'acov 5:19-20 Brothers, if anyone among you goes astray from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a life from death and cover a great number of sins.
Acts 3:6-8 But Kĕpha said, “I do not have silver and gold, but what I do possess, this I give you: In the Name of יהושע Messiah of Natsareth, rise up and walk.” And taking him by the right hand he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made firm. And leaping up, he stood and walked, and went in with them into the Set-apart Place, walking and leaping and praising Elohim.
The Written Torah can not save you, but it will Heal you! YHWH RAFFA!
Exodus 15:26 And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your
Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His
commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the
diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.”
Now in the South Costa Rica area, we are able to share more of this Truth that can set the captives free! HalleluYAH! Thank you who support us to give to these who have no one teaching them Truth. May YHWH bless you and keep you.
Am I a Brothers Keeper by Sharing the Good News? Would you help?
Shabbat Shalom! HalleluYAH!

Sharing Homesteading! L'chaim! Pura Vida!
Sharing Homesteading
This time of the year our egg basket is overflowing and we found this info helpful to preserve eggs.
Deu 28:1-2 “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth. “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim:
Deu 28:5 “Blessed is your basket and your kneading bowl.
Also we inherited Iron Cast Pots and Pans from the owners of the farm. We are learning much about how to care for them and make them non stick. We will share two links below.
http://knowledgeweighsnothing.com/the-4-golden-rules-of-cast-iron-cooking/
http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/11/the-truth-about-cast-iron.html
We have been blessed by being able to live the Homestead life. Abba YHWH has provided from the bread and fruit from the earth as we continue to learn and see what is the best method of growth and the climate of South Costa Rica. We had ups and downs as we saw many seeds go from sprout to compost while others are doing great or better than expected during the rainy season. Egg production slows down as the chickens stay under the houses most of the day and can not graze. We learned not to give them much of the concentrated feeds sold at the Agricultural feed supplies. We started feeding plain corn and supplement with egg shells and scraps. We have less compost but healthier chickens.
We would like you to be here and experience the blessing of L'chaim which the locals call "Pura Vida". Nuestra casa es su casa!. If you would like to come and spend some days here with us please just send us a comment and we can plan.
Shalom from the Montanez mispacha in South Costa Rica.

63 Biblical Reasons to Keep The 7th Day Sabbath
I remember kicking against the 7th day (Saturday) Sabbath.[1]
I remember spending hours combing through the scriptures, looking for
passages that would justify its not being binding on me today. Sure it
was established at creation. Sure, it was one of the 10 commandments.
Sure, God said it would be a “perpetual” commandment, to be observed
“forever” (Ex. 31:16-17).
But I remember finding an ambiguous passage here, or a theological
rationalization there that would satisfy me for the moment — but that
would soon leave me thirsty, and unsatisfied, looking for more answers.
In the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was just
rationalizing away my own disobedience — rather than objectively
weighing the full weight of biblical testimony and witness.
If this has been your
experience too, I invite you to stop what you’re doing for a moment, put
down your theological weapons, loosen your grip on your
counter-arguments, and open up your heart to the possibility that the
4th commandment might be for today — that God may be holding out previously unknown rest, and blessings, and joy to you — and all you have to do is reach out and take hold.
Reason #1: God finished His work of creation on the 7th day (Gen. 2:2-3, Ex. 31:17)
Reason #2: God uniquely blessed the 7th day (Gen. 2:3)
Reason #3: God made the 7th day “holy” — that is, “set apart” from all other days (Gen. 2:3, Ex. 31:14)
Reason #4: God rested from all His labors on the 7th day Sabbath (Gen. 2:2-3)
Reason #5:
Man is made in God’s image, and since God rested on the 7th day, part
of bearing God’s image means keeping the 7th day Sabbath (Gen. 1:26-27).
Reason #6: The Saturday Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments (Ex. 20:8-11, Deut. 5:12-15).
Reason #7: God says “above all” believers are to keep his Sabbaths (Ex 31:13)
Reason #8: God
tells his people to keep the Saturday Sabbath so that they know that
God is the one who sanctifies them — that is, sets them apart from all
other people (Ex 31:13)

Reason #20: God promises to not cut off those who keep the Saturday Sabbath (Isa. 56:3-6)

Reason #23: The Sabbath is intended to be a delight (Isaiah 58:13)
Reason #24: God promises that we will “find our joy in the LORD” when we keep the Saturday Sabbath (Isa. 58:13)
Reason #25: God promises that those who keep the Saturday Sabbath will “ride on the heights of the land” (Isa. 58:13)
Reason #26: God promises that those who keep the Saturday Sabbath will “feast on the inheritance of our father Jacob” (Isa. 58:13-14)
Reason #27: In the future, after the Final Judgment, the Sabbath will still be in effect (Isa. 66:22-23)

Reason #45: Jesus told his disciples to pray that they wouldn’t have to flee on the Sabbath (Matt. 24:20)

God’s commandments — which would include the 7th day Sabbath (Rev. 12:17)
References
[1] According to the Biblical reckoning of time, days of the week are counted from evening to evening (cf. Genesis 1:5, Exodus 12:18, Leviticus 23:32,
etc.), so in the Bible, the 7th day technically begins at sundown on
Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. The reader should be aware
that, for the sake of clarity and brevity, I’ve chosen to use the terms
“7th day Sabbath” and “Saturday Sabbath” synonymously. In other words,
I’m using both phrases to express same Biblical calculation of time
(Friday evening to Saturday evening).

What is the Gospel? - Part 1- By 119 Ministries
Mark 1:14-15
Now after that John was put in prison, Yahshua came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim,
15 And saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of
Elohim is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Excerpt from 119 Ministries:
"Have
you really heard the WHOLE gospel? What is the Gospel? There are many
responses you will get if you randomly ask this question. The popular
Christian definition of the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection
of Christ. Then, there is the gospel of the kingdom which John the
Baptist and Christ himself preached. Also the book of Revelation refers
to the end-time preaching of the eternal gospel. And Paul speaks of the
mystery of the gospel...which the majority today still do not
understand...What are these gospels, and what are the similarities and
differences between them? These and other questions will be answered in
this study by 119 Ministries. (Click Here to proceed to Part 2)"
Shalom!
Shalom!
