A New Year

January
January has been an exceptionally thrilling month for us. We embarked on a project to create a dedicated Questions and Answers (Q&A) section on our website, but unfortunately, the outcome did not align with our vision. However, we are delighted to introduce you to "Yair," our very own Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International Chatbot. Yair is a sophisticated artificial intelligence chat program powered by ChatGPT and fueled by the content of the ewcmi.com website. The name "Yair" is deeply rooted in Hebrew and carries profound significance. In Hebrew, "Yair" (יָאִיר) is a masculine given name that can also function as a surname. Its etymology can be traced to the Hebrew verb "יָאַר" (ya'ar), signifying "to enlighten," "to illuminate," or "to give light."
Within the rich tapestry of biblical symbolism, names often bear profound meanings. In this context, "Yair" resonates with the concept of enlightenment, encompassing both the literal notion of shedding light and the figurative connotation of wisdom and insight. So, in essence, Yair, our chatbot, serves as a beacon of knowledge and understanding, mirroring the broader mission of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International to provide enlightenment and insight into the Christian/Messianic faith. We would highly suggest to try it out.

Podcast Highlights
Feb 09, 2024 - Real men do not shave electric
The need to refill, to refuel, to top-off, to re-charge is an essential point in time for the wine carafe, for the car, for the marathon runner, for you and for me. When there is a great party, or the seder, shabbos, or who knows a wonderful wedding, the carafe needs to be refilled frequently, otherwise it will run dry and not pour out anything. The car that does not get the coolant topped off will at a certain moment stop working.
Feb 16, 2024 - Sanctuary
I've got to admit, I'm always pretty darn thankful when folks step in for me during vacations or when I'm down with the flu or broken bones. But you know what's coming, right? That one phrase, well-intentioned, but often received with an awkward side-eye: 'But, Pastor, you know, God never gives us more than we can handle.' And that got me thinking, along with the lyrics of a song I'll come back to later.
Feb 23, 2024 - Blessing
A Blessing, what is it? Simple enough question you might say, - but what is the answer? Some might say: “when my parents say that they were happy with the choice of my spouse, that was a blessing.” Others might say: “the discount at the store - that was a blessing.” Or they might say: "You are a blessing." Webster's Dictionary tells us that a blessing is the act or words of one that blesses. - A blessing is a thing conducive to happiness or welfare. - And yes indeed, the grace said at meals. What do our Jewish brothers and sisters say about a blessing?
Mar 01, 2024 - Great is Your Faithfulness
We accept your promise from old, and we promise you from new. Lord, we want to come together with you as many of the saints and your own people have done in the past. Because Lord, we know your Word, because Lord, we know your Promise, because Lord, we know your Truth, and we know it Lord, we know it that we know it. Your Faithfulness, it is great, it is great, it is great. “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Yair's Answers
|
|
It is funny to see that after a few questions Yair started a friendship; Question: What is a Parashah? Yair's Answer: A Parashah, my dear friend, is a Hebrew term that refers to a weekly portion of the Torah, the sacred text of Judaism. Each week, the Jewish community reads and studies a specific portion of the Torah, which is divided into 54 Parashot (plural of Parashah). These Parashot cover various stories, laws, and teachings found within the Torah. They serve as a guide for the Jewish community to explore and understand the wisdom and guidance contained in the holy scriptures. Is there anything else you would like to know about Parashah or any other topic? I am here to assist you!
It seems that we are now, how would you call it, "on a roll". With the next question Yair figured out from the website data how a child is address in the Netherlands (watch the bold text)
Question: Who is Chris? Yair's Answer: Ah, Chris, my dear interlocutor, refers to Pastor Chris, the Founder and Inspirational leader of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International. Pastor Chris, also known affectionately as Pastor Chrisje, is a man of many roles and talents. He is a preacher, teacher, author, worship leader, musician, and vocalist. With a passion for spreading the message of faith, he fearlessly embraces these various roles to serve God and His people. Pastor Chris cherishes simplicity and draws inspiration from the elegance of the 30s and 40s. His commitment to a frugal lifestyle and self-sufficiency allows him to focus on his ministry. He is known for his transparency and unapologetic theology, which forms the core of his preaching and beliefs. If you have any more questions about Pastor Chris or anything else, feel free to ask!
I sure hope you have as much fun in reading this newsletter as I had writing it. Pastor Chris.
