Shalom and blessings
Tuesday evening Ellen and I were sent scurrying to our safe room as the Red Alert siren sounded warning us of incoming missiles. This is nothing new for us and it does not cause us to panic, but as a matter of safety, because the rockets from Gaza do not have guidance systems, we take every precaution. Hamas just launches rockets indiscriminately hoping they will get past the Iron Dome and hoping that they will do damage no matter what or where they hit. It has become a game with them, a method of getting the Israeli public to fear and turn on their government so that they will meet their demands. Israel of course always retaliates and Hamas knows that, but what we heard come out of Gaza this week really disgusted us. The IDF has become so predictable to Hamas that before or right after they fire rockets, or send over incendiary balloons, knowing the targets the IAF will hit, they evacuate them in anticipation of Israel's response. I would not be a bit surprised if Hamas builds observation towers, warehouses and the such especially for the IAF to bomb; like target practice – sick - but it seems like we fall for it because observation towers seem to be the IAF's favorite targets.
Covid-19 is still raging here. The numbers were so high, above 2000 each day, yet for some reason the government decided to reduce testing. Still daily infections are being reported in the high thousands every day. Miriam has been declared Coronavirus free and was released from the isolation hotel. Yaffa, however, is still in guarded condition and on a ventilator. Please continue to keep her in prayer.
All is well with me and Ellen as we continue to minister to our groups in Kenya. Please keep the group in Nairobi in prayer as we have still not received the registration for our name change. We are also looking for a more suitable place to meet.
Hi Ellen here…Well here we are at another High Holy Season juncture without services and without fellowship. Thank goodness we have each other!!! I was thinking of Elul…from a woman's perspective. Yes it is definitely a time of excelled evangelism but also love. At times like these our Abba gives us an extra opportunity to tell those we love about Him because He is love. He also gives us a way to come clean of all damaged relationships in our lives. Each morning before being fully awake I ask Abba…show me…remind me…wake me. I want to start each day with a clean slate and now we have a heavenly opportunity to start a new year with that same clean slate. Abba is closer at these times and He wants to hear us. Remember the sermons we have heard titled "The King is in the Field"? Well look at your personal field and speak to Him…He is waiting…always listening…always faithful and always loving.
