We were privileged to be able to visit both Children's hospitals and Hospitals caring for those who fell victim to the conflict of Israel

Many friends were made through the privileges of visiting these hospitals and we hope to continue our relationships with all those we met

We were so blessed to be granted the privilege to share a meal with members of the Israeli Army at Mount Herman.

Our visit also included stops with local schools. The children were just fantastic. We love you all!

An unusual encounter was made with these Nigerian  brothers by the Dead Sea when we discovered a kinship in spirit. An invitation was given to visit their country afterwards.

We also bumped into a Navajo brother in Tel Aviv who joined us on the drum at Esther House.

Traditional Grass Dancer Guy Molin had a big effect on the children in all the schools we visited

The City of Sderot

When protocoling the city official on the “balcony” overlooking the Gaza Strip, he shared, “To come to a people in their weakness and say 'we are here for you' is beyond human expression.  It is an expression of the soul.  No place is too far and you have proved it.  When it’s colder outside, people are warmer inside.” 

Councillor Maureen Brown’s words, from the Cree Nation, to the official,

“We come to stand with you and to say God will not abandon you but come swiftly.”  

Sderot is a small town, 23,000 residents, in great crisis. The city is experiencing attacks from the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as well as high unemployment. Fear is strong in the city. In the past month (prior to the trip) the city had been hit by missile attack at least 5-6 times every day, totalling over 600 missiles.  Seven people had been killed. The first killed were a man and child.  The man was picking the child up from kindergarten and they were struck by a rocket in the street.   Though the fear is great, this city holds the people’s roots. Terror can achieve nothing but fear.  They will not leave. Through Jesus’ anointing, he broke the forces of darkness.  The coming of the Inuit and Cree is to break the forces of darkness upon this land and to bring the anointing of joy.
