Seven of the nine members travelling to Israel/West Bank are on their way to the the airport.  They will leave Chicago, fly to New York and then board a direct flight to Tel Aviv.  As you watch Fox news and CNN, you may wonder “why”? they are going.

First, they are not going to Gaza.  They will be staying in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and their hosts will keep them clear of any activity in Gaza.   They go to  seek to understand this Israel/Palestinian conflict.  They go to stand with their brothers and sisters in Christ in their time of need.  They also go to build.

Please pray for Todd, Lou, Sue, John, Bev, Edie, and Bill.  Pray for their health, safety and God’s blessing as they go.

Keith and I will join this team on Tuesday, January 6 and will update this Blog as often as possible.

Thank you for standing with us on your knees!
