Update

Well first and foremost I want to say I am back in Israel safe and sound. I had a little extra spent in immigration that was not wanted but I'm back in with 3 months and all. God is good! He blessed us on the visa trip and no doubt will continue to bless with the rest of the remainder of time here. The second update is for some reason my blog is starting to give me some technical difficulties. So your compueter is not wrong, just the site will be in a temporary time of re-construction. Pray it comes out good, I will still continue to post, so stay tuned. God bless you guys, thank you for all your prayers. They kept me in that time of immigration and continue to fuel the ministry He is doing here. May the Lord bless you guys abundantly in all He calls you to do. Love you guys, Lord bless you=].

Touring the Gobble Gobble

With the van, we were able to get a good rental price for two days. So on the second day, we got in the van and headed north to see some biblical sites. Brian (our shopher and dorm daddy) took us to Laodicia, shared the word, and also took us over to Heropalis. It was a blessed time just hanging out and seeing the sites we got to see. God has definitely been good to us in showing us even more so, the word of God first hand. Please continue to pray for Nick and a quick healing for his futbol ankle injury. He is continuing his tour around the country now with his dad, and needs it to be healed quickly. Continue to uplift our brother in your prayers, as He continues to serve the Lord step by in the blessings God is calling him to right now. God bless ya brada.

Turkey, Out and About

On our second full day, I believe, in Turkey we rented a van and hit the town. We were staying in a resort outside of one of the main cities, Anatalia, and decided to go into the city for some fun. I never would of expected it, but Turkey was actually really beautiful. We went on a cliff by the sea and enjoyed His beautiful rays of light breaking through the stormy weather onto the land underneath. It was an amazing view and reminder of not only how powerful His physical forms of light are but how much more powerful His spiritual Light is, and should be shining through us in our lives. We also were able to stop by one of the local shops, and get a world famous Turkish Bath. It's pretty much like a Japanese/Asian bathhouse but comes with a full body soap/scrub down and oil massage, for under 30 bucks. It was really really nice, blessings from the Lord.

Turkey

Alright, sorry for the delay, but we have arrived safe and sound. For those of you who don't know, we have come out to Turkey for a 5 day trip. Yes, we also know that there has been some news about hostility here in the country with Israel and also Americans(so keep us in your prayers), but we know ans trust that the Lord has/will continue to bless us on this trip. With everything being how it is, we ended getting great deals, and no doubt will have fun relaxing in Him on this trip. If you guys can please pray for Nick as well, I haven't put a picture up yet, but He hurt his ankle playing soccer yesterday. It's not broken but we do want a wuick healing, so he can continue on strong for the rest of the trip. Thank you guys again, Lord bless you.

In the North again

*pictures from Miscellaneous and Nick Nunez









Not many of you can tell by this great picture I got on the internet, but I'm officially back in the north again. I'll be serving here in the Golan area for the next few couple weeks, I'll be leaving for a short 4-5 day trip to Turkey on Sunday but other than that I'll be up here for the time being. It's really different from what I'm used to, no doubt it compares to Idaho, pure country quiet life. It's really something I know God wants me in right now. It's one of those places God is showing me on how to actually be a watchmen(Isa62:6) in this world , listening to His voice, hearing what He says, being still, and knowing that He is God. He really is amazing and is doing great things up here, not just in me, but in all of His in the North. Please continue to pray for the work He's doing, and continually go before the Lord in stillness. Being eager and willing to hear nothing but His still small voice, to lead you in the steps He's calling all of you to take. May the Lord bless you guys in His countenance, grace, and peace.

Korean Shabbat

pictures taken by Lindesey

This last Shabbat (Friday night), we were blessed to enjoy a wonderful Korean style dinner. I ran out of batteries on my camera, so I didn't take any pictures of the family but they were a blessing none the less. I met them at an outreach and started talking to them in Korean, funny how God allows that to be continually used out here with all the Korean missionaries I've met. Kum(the wife) is actually a Korean lady and she cooked for us an amazing Korean style Shabbat dinner with some homemade kimchi and gotchu paste in a tube. It was really good, and a blessing to enjoy in a time of food and fun. After we went up to their third floor spent time in worship and praise of God's glorious name. It was a wonderful time God blessed us with, thank you guys again for opening up your home and stoves.

hello goodbye

Thursday, after another sweet day serving at the soup kitchen, we had a couple of treats at the closing prayer meeting. First we had the CCBC team come from York and Italy. The York pastor (bottom left picture) blessed us in some sweet worship and the Italy team (top right) sent their hellos from Daniel and Dave. Daniel told them to say hi to me right before they left, but they all assumed they would never see us here in all of Israel. Then lo and behold, their first day here we run into each other, cool to be reminded of the wonderful things God is doing in through brothers in Italy. Lord bless you guys. The second treat was also being able to pray for Bill and Kendra (top left); they are an amazing couple serving the Lord in ALL they do. They were such a great example and blessing, they will be coming back to their home in Israel again in a couple of months after doing some visiting in the states. Sad to see them go, but Lord willing I'll see them while they're there. God bless you guys!

CRASH

Well, going going going, always leads to a crash. Being busy all week, with all the different things the Lord has us doing here in Jerusalem, led to a sweet sleep on the morning Sharrut ride. Thursday morning we have to take a Sharrut (mini bus) from Jerusalem to Tel-Aviv, for the Tel-Aviv Soup Kitchen. While on the bus, I looked around and could help but take pictures of everyone knocked out. These guys have been hustling rocking for His Kingdom, and it was cool to see them enjoying the rest He gives His beloved. The team plus Dorm Daddy Brian have been a big blessing, may the Lord continue to bless them with more and more rest.

Wahoo!

Well, I know I've been trying to work on it even before I left Cali, but it's finally up. God has provided a way for me to finally get a donate button up on my blog! I was trying to put one up on my own, but then didn't. I stopped, because of realizing I needed to be a non-profit organization to have a donate button on my blog legally. Praise the Lord though, because He provided now a donate button with Pastor Jerry through CC Living Water. He's good and always come through from the little things to the big. Thanks again Pastor Jerry, God bless you guys!

Iness Ruinion

Well for those of you that remember, a couple years ago my sister traveled back with one of her Israeli friends, Iness, on a trip back to the states. She became a good family friend, and a must see person for me here on the trip. So I was able to go and share in a Shabbat meal with her, her husband, new born child, and family in Neva Yachov. Her mom served up a belt stuffing, delicious Russian meal, with some fresh actually good tasting world famous Israeli veggies. It was a good food fest night, with a fun time enjoyed with friends. Praise the Lord for a blessed night.

Succoth

Today was the last day of Succoth, I haven't done a post on it really yet, but have waited for it to end. For those of you who don't know completely what the Succoth is its better known as the feast of tabernacles. It's a 8 day feast, where the children of Israel were commanded to make little shacks outside their homes and dwell in them; in order to remember the wilderness experience. Really neat, how God designated a feast to remind His children constantly, every year about the things He had done in their lives. A reminder no doubt of the promise land shortcomings, and about His graceful allowance later into the land. God has so much grace on us, even when we fall short; he will give us those chances again. It might take some waiting and some Fatherly loving correction, but by His grace and our obedience in Him, He continues to do His work for His glory. Praise God for His faithfulness, great reminder through this feast, of how great He always really is.

Parade of Nations

Yesterday (Tuesday) was the Succoth annual Parade of Nations. Believers/Supporters of Israel come from all over the world to show Israel their support. There are representatives of the Body there from almost every nation, carrying around flags, smiles, and praying blessings over the people. We were able to join in with some of the celebration in the American Crew, and enjoy the fun. It’s sad that even though there were American’s there, the sad fact is that America’s progressive turn from Israel is causing the country to cast curses upon themselves. The Lord said, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” May the body there truly get in the word and realize as believers, the fact that His word proclaiming His truths of promise still valid to the Jews today. God is not slack nor does He take back on His promises, praise the Lord for His faithfulness, and for His Spirit strengthening us to be faithful unto what He has called us.

Akko Drop

Monday’s are usually our days off, but yesterday we loaded up and headed north. There was an annual theatre festival going on, so we went up to spread His word. It’s really cool how the Lord continues to open doors for His word to be given out in these last days. Crazy as well, how so much opposition continues to arise more and more. Pray for His word that has and will continue to go out here in the land, and please lift up all the sewers He continues to send out and use in the field.

Soup Kitchen

Week after week, the Lord has been rocking at the Soup Kitchen. It's been really cool, serving the people, and getting to know them more and more. In all we do, we have to continually shine His love. Even in the least of things, doing them in His name and for His glory, He will bless us. God continues to stretch and grow us in the soup kitchen by conversations, stepping out in worship, and continual servants to the people. We are continually by grace used as servants to show His love, and week by week, God continues to shine. No matter how small, or tiring one might get, be encouraged, serve the Lord in all things and continue to watch Him work. Are jobs are to be servants, nothing greater, nothing less. Even when we think it's hard, we can continue to remember what He's done, and remember what a priveledge it is to serve Him in what He calls us to do. God bless you guys=].
