"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." (Ephesians 4:15-16)
All I can say is the team is a machine! I have been so blessed by the unity of the team, the love of the team and the productivity of the team. We were given many assignments, the team split in teams to accomplish them, and when every thing was done from cleaning the bomb shelter and organizing a shed, to patching walls and priming for paint, I was a blessing to know that Pastor Steve was impressed and blessed! That is the point of this trip, to bless our missionaries and bless the people of Israel.
Afterward we had time to view the head of the Jordan River at Tel Dan,then made our way back by Mt. Bental where God gave us an amazing divine appointment with a Jewish man working at the cafe. After sharing the reality that death is the ultimate consequence for sin, and the fact that a Yom Kippur sacrifice is non existent, we shared Isaiah 53 and showed why we believe Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice for sin. The man said he was a moved by our genuine love. He said others have shared, but he was moved by our love. As an act of gratitude he then served us all a hot cup of apple cider on the house! It was such a blessing and such a warm treat for such a cold foggy night! We really sensed God's blessing. Please pray for Kaiphar! It truly was an amazing appointment!
