From the desk of Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr
Shalom Family, Friends and Associates,
Seeing as a new secular year is upon us and underway what are your plans, your goals to make a difference in this world and in the Kingdom of Elohim?
Did you ever think you would be living in a time where so much prophecy is being fulfilled before your very eyes? Have you ever wanted to have a direct hand in aiding the fulfillment of prophecy? Well, you can.
My name is Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr of AD International (www.adint-ministries.com). I have been asked by Abrahamic Faith Netzarim of Nigeria, a Messianic organization in Africa, who invited me to minister to them for two weeks in August 2010, to contact and work closely with Messianic and Natsari synagogues in order to help our Messianic believing brothers and sisters in Nigeria.
I was invited to minister to the Nigerian Tribe of the Ibu who are descendants of Eri (Gen. 46:16) the son of the Biblical Patriarch of the Tribe of Gad. On my website is a full report regarding the evidence and proofs that link the Ibu’s to the Lost Tribe of Gad. I look forward getting in contact with you, ministering and partnering together to raise up Messianic leaders in Nigeria and bring Torah and Messiah to the people of that Land.
The Ibu’s are discovering who they are and where they belong. Orthodox Judaism sees and believes this as well and is even now sending anti-missionaries among them in an attempt to destroy the Ibu peoples belief in Yeshua Ha Moshiach and make them blind Orthodox Jews like themselves.
Matt. 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
We are NOT asking for money. The Ibu people do not need money. What they DO need however is for you to kindly donate new and or gently used:
Sacred Name Bibles (ISR Scriptures, HRV, Complete Jewish Bible, Aramaic-English New Testament), All four volumes by Michael Brown’s, “Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus,” Tzitzit, Kippot, Tallit Gadolim, Tallit Katans, Mezuzot, Messianic and or Natsari books, Messianic prayer siddurim, Artscroll Siddurim, Messianic music and worship CD’s, Messianic and or Netzari Teaching DVD’s etc.
Once we have sufficient amount of goods we will ship them to our contact who will distribute them among the various congregations.
Please let us know if you can think of other ways you or your congregation can help.
Please send all Donations to:
A.D. International
PO BOX 822
Fayetteville, NY. 13066
I sincerely hope and pray that you decide to be apart of this prophetic and monumental task of restoring the lost Tribe of Gad to Israel, Messiah and to the world.
Thank you, your generous and sacrificial donation will help make these Messianic Ibu believers remain strong in the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3) and combat the anti-messianic propaganda of the Orthodox Jewish anti-missionaries and reclaim their rightful place as sons and daughters of Gad.
You can learn more facts, history and genealogy of the Ibu people of Nigeria and how they are apart of the tribe of Gad by going to:
You can see photos of my trip to Nigeria, labeled “Nigeria 2010,” on my facebook profile:
Thank you for your kind attention. I sincerely hope you and your congregation decides to become involved and help in this prophetically monumental cause.
