Shalom and Blessings:
Well we finally got to the point where we had to cancel our trip to Kenya. Not only has the government of Kenya imposed travel restrictions on foreigners entering the country but they have also banned all gatherings. That means we would not be able to hold our Passover Seder. If that were not reason enough, the Israeli government is requiring all citizens returning from abroad to go into 14 day quarantine upon their return regardless of what country they arrive from. Thankfully God has shown us favor and Airbnb refunded us for our lodging and Ethiopian Air should be doing the same for the flights. This will allow us to reschedule once this is all over.
There is no panic here; life is going on fairly normal despite the fact that heavy restriction have been put in place that just about closes down all public gatherings. Many businesses have been ordered to close, like restaurants and malls and many private shops. Employers are required, if possible to have their employees work from home. Public transportation has been limited but grocery stores, supermarkets and pharmacies remain open.
In my opinion Israel has a bigger problem than the Corona Virus and that is SIN. Greed, pride, arrogance, hatred and the lust for power has driven the Blue and White Party along with the Yisrael Beiteinu Party and the Left Wing Parties to all join together and are making an alliance with the Joint Arab List Party so that they can oust the Likud Party (Netanyahu), and form a minority government. The only thing these four parties have in common is their hatred for Netanyahu and their hatred is driving them to make a pact with the devil. Such a covenant can only spell disaster for Israel. Please pray against it and for sane members within the three Israeli parties will defect and join Likud so as to give then the majority.
Ellen and I are holding up well under everything that is taking place. We know that our brothers and sisters in the United States and Kenya are also feeling the effects of government imposed restrictions and we are keeping you in prayer. Thank you for praying for us.

Yours in Messiah Yeshua, our Lord, our God, our soon coming King.
