Everything began at the aiport in Tel aviv on saturady - sabbath - with no public transportations... So we prayed in small groups and got this vers:
'This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.' Joshua 1:9.
Perfect vers to hitchhike to the see of galilee! What a great experience!
Six days full of hiking and God's blessings through free bananas, grapefruits, 25 fishes and bread made this definitely my highlight! This week showed us that God is really with us and that he wants to provide for us and it was the perfect time to read God's word and see where Jesus did all the miracles.
After this trip we had the opportunity to serve at a coptic church in Bethlehem, pulling out weeds and building a small church in a cave. Fellowship with Northbound, the unending chocolate pile and the spontaneous visit of my brother were some of our blessings in this time. After crossing the border of Palestine to Israel we visited Jerusalem where we discovered all the famous places.
The next blessings were the family hosting us in Tel aviv, all the teachings about Israel/Jews, outreches, shabbat celebration, worship and just to be part of their family.
On the way to the Dead sea God told us to go to a village in the desert, but they couldn't host us, so we camped and worshipped God in the wilderness.
'O Israel, the one who formed you says,'Don't be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name, you're mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you!''
Isaiah 43:1-2
God showed me every single day that he wants to walk a personal journey with everyone of us, and he will bless us in this time!
