Hello friends and intercessors, This is the latest update to the Up to Jerusalem Journey.  I arrived in Tel Aviv on June 8, 2017.  A dear friend picked me up at the airport and drove me Up to Jerusalem. Upon arriving at the BnB in Jerusalem that afternoon, I settled in and later went to dinner in the Old City with my friend. Another friend joined us there and the conversation immediately moved toward the Lord and His purpose for our being there. That night the city was still celebrating Jerusalem Day......

Hello friends and intercessors, This is the latest update to the Up to Jerusalem Journey.  Somethings have changed slightly as God continues to reveal His plan for me and those concerned in Israel. I was able to negotiate my rental lease here in Colorado. They pro-rated my last month’s rent and  released me from the two month rental payment for breaking a lease. This helps me to leave for Israel the first week of June which is my new plan. Two things have happened in Israel that speed things up a bit.......

A few days later we found out that Tikva my hostess, had pneumonia. She remained resting......

So much is happening – so quickly. To that I say, I am not in a hurry and neither is the Lord because all things happen in His time frame if there is such a thing. We are the measurers of time – He takes it or makes it for us. In this we learn patience and endurance, in being patient. My spirit is excited and my soul is curious as to what my spirit is doing? I am going with my spirit on this one “For as many as are led......

First of all I want to thank all those who gave financially as well as all those who faithfully interceded for me on this trip. As you may recall, I had a personal agenda for this trip which God compelled me in the Spirit to lay aside and follow His leading day by day. I humbly obeyed and below find some of the results. You may remember, much of my focus was on the previous work in Ashkelon some 12-15 years ago. And now God was clearly speaking that I was to......
