Shalom

Hi from Israel. I only have a few minutes because the first 10 of my 15 minutes the girl had to translate from Hebrew to English so i would know how to log into this page.

I'm in Tel Aviv tonight, that's modern day Joppa. This is the place where Jonah jumped on the boat so he didn't have to go to Ninevah. Just down the road a bit was the place in Acts where Peter was staying with Simon the Tanner when he had the vision and God told him to share the gospel with a gentile for the first time. I started to have tears in my eyes already as I realized that Peter probably walked right where I was sticking my feet in the Meditteranean.

I feel totally safe here. The Israeli people are super friendly and the men surprisingly very good looking - dark and handsome.

The flight was a big nervracking as someone tried to smoke in the bathroom so all these red lights were flashing - i thought we were going down or there was a bomb. False Alarm. The interviews to get on the plane were intense as well. I had to answer all these questions and the guy didn't crack a smile. Like "what church are you from? How many members does it have? How many years has it been a church". Pretty cool!
