HERE WE GO!

We have officially launched the ministry property. We invited 6 incredibly special families to us, to come over for an Erev Shabbat meal. These families all mark “firsts” in our life and connection here in Israel. The first family we met from Israel, the first family we grew a deeper relationship with here in Israel, the first family we came along side in hearing a dream God put on their heart and began walking alongside to help where we can, the first IDF family that we began doing life with, the first family that had common ministerial purpose, and our first Pastoral covering family here in Israel.

None of these families are more significant than the other, we need them all, and we all need each other. These are the families that have helped sustain us here in the land so far in getting “settled” and knowing where to find things you need and how to let go of things you do not need. We are so thankful for them and cherish them more than we could ever truly articulate. We feel this way because it is so obvious to us that the Lord placed each one of these families in our life to grow with one another, fight for one another, love one another, and minister to and with one another. We all have one common goal, TO GROW: in intimacy with the Lord, in likeness of His Character, into our identity, and calling here on Earth.

So here we are, with all the first we have behind us, beginning another first. This property is not for us; it is for the Lord. Whoever, whenever, and however he wants to use it we began a new first in surrendering this season and place to Him alone. We are truly looking forward to whatever comes next, and the many updates that we will get to share and mark for His Glory.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us, the families, individuals, and groups that will be coming into this place to meet the Lord and hear from Him. We desire this place to be set apart, open, and healing for those that come here and we know that is only possible through His presence, all our prayer, and surrendering to Him alone. We want this to be a place of refuge, edification, learning, ministry, communion, and participation with the Heart of God. We are so thankful to you all, we could not be here doing what we are doing without your continued support in prayer.

Thank you for continuing to give financially as well. We are literally reminded of you that sow financially, when we purchase things for ministry here, help a family, and even help other ministries accomplish common goals we feel the Lord leads us into. When we set up, buy food, or sow into families, many of you by no coincidence come up in conversation in how thankful we are for you and we pray for you as well because we know the Lord used you to bring the provision for those in that moment, to feel the love that Jesus has for them.

You are all amazing, we love you so much, we miss those of you that we don’t get to see, and we look forward to the many updates of the different times of ministry from many different people, organizations, and ministries that all come from the Heart of a good Father using us all to bring an opportunity for an individual revelation of who we are in His sight.

WELL, I did not get this posted as soon as I had hoped, so I have some additional news and pics. We hosted our first ministry in the Ministry Property a very dear friend to us teaches people how to play harp, but it is so much more than “just that”. She cultivates a heart and understanding of what worship is, how it shapes our relationship with God, and how it can change our lives as we shift our perspective off ourselves and put it on glorifying God through song and creativity. She is able to articulate to any age group and is constantly teaching mixed classes of adults and kids. It is truly a blessing to get to see and hear her encourage a worshipful and prayerful life to all ages. She teaches three classes every Tuesday, please join us is covering her classes in prayer that ears and hearts would be open to receiving what the Lord has so graciously and enthusiastically laid on her heart to share with others desiring to be connected in Spirit and Truth to our Lord in worship.
