Dear friends,
Peace and grace to all of you in Jesus name!
We landed at Ben Gurion airport after a great flight of 14 hours. It still amazes me that mankind can traverse the globe---in this on the exact opposite side from where we live------- at 37000 feet and 625 miles per hour. I have traveled so much over the years that this should now be "travel 101" for me but I am still in awe!
We were met by our representatives and transferred to our hotel in Tel Aviv--no problem. Met lots of folks on the plane and of course our little son Santiago stole VERY MANY HEARTS! He has a ministry all his own and cannot speak a language that anyone but Mom and Dad can understand.
Right now we are preparing for dinner and looking out over the Mediterranean Sea. To our left is the ancient City of Jaffa---walking distance. We will explore tomorrow.
One thought that I would like to share briefly. There is seldom a day that missiles are not reigning down upon this tiny strip of land that is Israel. She is literally hated by nearly all her neighbors and much of the world. Why? Simply because Israel belongs to God.
We have a Jewish friend in Jerusalem that says this: "THEY CAME TO KILL US, WE WON, LET'S EAT"! That pretty well sums up life in Israel. How would you like to live your life that way?
We as Christians must stand up to the world and proudly and defiantly proclaim that we will not remain silent while this miserable persecution is played out upon tiny Israel and our Jewish brethren. Right now, the leadership of Iran (ancient Persia) is DAILY proclaiming their goal of destroying Israel and the Jewish people! History repeats itself. Are we going to stand for it once again?
Join me as we help other ministries get this word out to the world that this injustice must cease!!!
I will post all along the way as often as possible. Keep reading and keep praying friends. The time is here to put feet to the gospel of PEACE!
Shalom from the Holy Land,
Pastor Rance.
