Mission Trip Israel – Day 14: Wednesday, May 30 , 2007
Kara, Glenn, & I had a 6 day vacation planned for the end of this trip. I’m not going to go into detail because this was a vacation, but I’ll share briefly where we went. We drove down to Eilat on the Red Sea and then crossed over into Jordan and caught a cab up […]
Mission Trip Israel – Day 13: Tuesday, May 29, 2007
This was the last day of the mission part of our trip. Today was a day for tying up loose ends. We went in a few different directions looking to bless those that we had met along the way. In Jerusalem, we went by Makor Hatikva School which is an incredible school for young believers. […]
Mission Trip Israel – Day 12, Monday, May 28, 2007
I woke up early to pray on the roof of Beit Immanuel. It’s beautiful up there to look across the city from the top of this four-story building. I knew we would be praying for direction on which way to go that day and I just felt hungry to have more alone time with Him […]
Mission Trip Israel – Day 11, Sunday, May 27, 2007
We listened to David and Mike teach, prayed on top of the Temple Mount and then went to the Mount of Olives. The Garden of Gethsemane is pretty amazing because some of these olive trees were actually there when Jesus prayed amongst them. They don’t know exactly where He would have been, but there are […]
Mission Trip Israel – Day 10: Saturday, May 26, 2007
Today, we enjoyed the Sabbath rest by having a picnic with a local congregation youth group. They were mostly teenagers, but some who were younger and others who were older attended. We were at a beautiful park that had a cliff down to the ocean, but we stayed up in the grass and shared a […]
Mission Trip Day 9: Friday Night, May 25, 2007
That night we went to a Shabbat service. The Pastor (some Messianic congregational leaders seem to use the title Pastor, others Rabbi) had just come back from a pastor’s conference in Sweden. He was on fire to share what God was doing throughout the world. He shared many stories that he had heard from pastors […]
Mission Trip Day 9: Friday, May 25, 2007
On this morning we gathered to worship with the discipleship group of Beit Immanuel. But instead of them praying for a country or people as they had every other day, they prayed for the arts. It’s an area that large sections of the Church have historically turned their backs on, which has left many whom […]
Mission Trip Day 8: Thursday, May 24, 2007
My spiritual cleansing was interesting in that when I sat down to pray through it with David, I ended up going off course. The instructions were to pray against any evil that came to mind. I don’t know if I didn’t really have any evil attachment due to the masons or if maybe there was […]
Mission Trip – Israel, Wednesday Night: May 21, 2007
We returned to Tel Aviv and Rabbi David asked me if I would assist him as he prayed deliverance for one of our team members. It turned out that quite a few of our team had had familial ties in the Masons. I hesitate to talk about deliverance, because in general, this site is not […]
Mission Trip – Day 7: Wednesday, May 23, 2007: Shavuot!
So I had a secret on this trip. I agonizingly carried around a ring for a couple weeks waiting for this very day! After completing our study of the book of Ruth, we were able to get a couple hours of sleep in at about the time the sun rose. Shavuot was celebrated with the […]
