MANSFIELD — In January of 2017, Ohio clergy from over one-hundred congregations in North-Central Ohio sent an apology letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the position the Obama Administration took in not defending Israel.
The clergy were critical of the Obama Administration which allowed U.N. Resolution 2334 to pass, calling Israel’s sovereignty of the Promised Land “an international crime.”

According to Reverend El Akuchie, Executive Director for the Richland Community Prayer Network and one of the co-signors of the clergy letter, he believes weeks following the Biblical stand, tangible effects from the clergy collaboration could be seen in the area.
“Things began happening in our area in the Spring of 2017 after the clergy letter was sent to the Israeli Prime Minister. Our economy began rebounding and the land started producing blessings,” says Reverend Akuchie.
Ten days following the apology letter sent by the clergymen, the Rover Pipeline Project received approval for construction thru the North Central Ohio region. The project had been held up by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for some time. The massive natural gas pipeline is more than twice the size of the controversial Keystone Pipeline.

“The day the County Treasurer announced that the Richland County would invest in Israeli bonds, was the same meeting that half a million dollars in unexpected revenue was reportedly discovered to alleviate a budget shortfall! “
With its approval, the 713 mile pipeline will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue to the stagnated local economy at a time when energy projects often go contested.
“According to Department of Agriculture numbers, the 2017 spring turkey harvest in Richland County saw a dramatic twenty-four percent increase from last year, whitetail deer harvested was the best in four years, and the cow herd in Richland County, which is estimated in late winter, is now at its largest number in over thirty years, which is utterly amazing!”
Maple syrup in the Spring of 2017 also saw an increase in production in gallons produced.

Akuchie points out that there is no such thing in Hebrew as the word “coincidence.” The blessings the area experienced from the apology letter aftermath provoked forty-two area clergymen to also request the County Treasurer to invest taxpayer dollars in Israeli bonds.
“The day the County Treasurer announced Richland County would invest in Israeli bonds, was the same meeting that half a million dollars in unexpected revenue was reportedly discovered to alleviate a budget shortfall! This clergy apology letter had a snowball effect and sends shivers down your spine to think that the Blessing of Abraham still impacts our generation …..even today.”
The Bottom Line:
The Bible says in Genesis Twelve, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed thru you.”
