We are going up to Jerusalem on Purim
We are going up to Jerusalem on Purim. Many Israeli’s are in costumes celebrating the delverance of the Jews over Haman’s wicked plot. Ironic that like then, even now, 2500 years later, a Persian ruler still attempts to wipe Israel off the map. But he like then will be unsucessful for He who touches Israel touches the apple of His eye.
It’s raining in Jerusalem and record flash floods...
WatchLittle time of worship today waiting news of then adjusted itinerary plan as a result of record rains and flash floods in Dead Sea area. He knows!!
Had an opportunity to cast a picture as we met in the hotel of the various Biblical passages surrounding this Dead Sea area.
Gen 13 with Abraham giving Lot the choice and he chooses the area of Sodom and Gommorah, only to see His choice go up in smoke due to the sin of this once lush area.

WatchWe are in the restaurant in Jericho saying hi to Tass Sada and praying for his back and pending operation.
We are headed down the Jordan valley right now with Jordan on our left and the Judean wilderness on our right sook approaching Jericho. We will have lunch at an Arab believers restaurant and then visit the Seeds of Hope school and bring the gifts from the church.

A couple people back at CCOB mentioned that they enjoyed “Hope Rising from the Rubble Part 4” and were sorry they missed the first three interviews.

Megiddo -
Napoleon said it is the perfect battlefield.
A retired general from the US army called it the ideal place to fight a war.
After overlooking the Valley of Megiddo yesterday, it was a special time to have Pastor Chuck share today with the group the Valley’s future significance.
Just think - this is the site where that final battle will take place!

WatchOverlooking Nazareth, Mount Gilboa, Mount Tabor, sights Jesus would have grown up with.
The wind was howling on the top of the cliff. Jesus would have grown up seeing this view, perhaps out on the ridge meditating at times. Imagine all the stories in the Bible from Deborah & Barak in Judges 4 around Mount Tabor or Saul and Jonathan in 1 Sam 31 when they fell slain on Mt Gilboa. The Bible...

MINISTRY IN PORT-AU-PRINCE

Thoughts on Haiti by a team member from Calvary...
As our team makes their way to CC P-a-P this AM, a number of folks have asked about the status of ministry in Jacmel. We are prayerfully anticipating sending teams on a regular basis starting later this month once a basecamp is established. Jacmel is a deep water port with a working airport, so it is strategically located not only for ministry to the immediate community but for outreach to...
From the beginning of our ministry in Haiti three weeks ago, we have been blessed to co-labor with CC Delta (PA).
Here’s a portion of a recent report from their pastor (edited for security).
