Updates

Merry Christmas As we near the Christmas season, we want to say a special thank you to everyone that has prayed for us and supported us in 2024. It’s hard to believe that our family has been in Israel for the past 5 years now. The time goes so quickly! Without your help, we wouldn’t be free to do what we do here in central Israel, so we thank you for making it possible to Read more…

Darkness and Light As we continue to live in a time of war, threats from all sides, and a critical time and place in history, we also see God doing some powerful and amazing things here in Israel. As I write this newsletter, we are under immediate threat of attacks from Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel’s people and government are severely divided. However, through war, we believe we see God doing a sovereign Read more…

WAR We apologize for our slowness in getting an update out. As the world knows, Israel is engaged in a war with the terrorist organization Hamas after the Oct 7 attacks which left 1400 Israelis dead and over 200 abducted. Since the breakout of this war, we have been providing aide and the love of Yeshua to those who have been affected by this tragedy. Thousands of civilians have had to flee their homes, and Read more…

Ordination Much has happened since our last update and we want to take the time to fill you in on what has been happening with us in Israel. The congregation is growing and we are seeing God doing a wonderful work brining us deeper in his word and in fellowship with one another.  In February, we were blessed to spend time with some representatives from our US supporting churches, MaCayla and Alex, and show them Read more…

Much to Celebrate Hello Friends! You are receiving this update in the middle of the high Holy Days of the Jewish Calendar. Many Israelis observe by taking time to fast, repent, and then celebrate God’s past and future deliverance and presence among us. We have had a very busy summer and autumn so far! In July, Daniela was honored to sing the U.S. National Anthem for the Embassy Independence Day celebration in front of the Read more…

Holidays There is almost too much to tell from the last few months that God has been doing here in Israel. We passed the spring Jewish Holidays (Purim, Passover, and Shavuot) with some amazing events. Passover (or Pesach) was an exceptional time – one of the most important days of the the Jewish calendar. For our Saturday service, we invited families – believers and nonbelievers – together for a special Passover Seder (a dinner retelling Read more…

Winter Updates Hello friends! This newsletter has been a bit delayed as we had a few challenges this winter. In late January, our entire family contracted COVID-19, and thought the symptoms were not severe, its effects on our minds and bodies persisted with fatigue, sporadic sicknesses, and brain fog. It seems we are coming out if it now, and much of our congregation had, in turn, been infected and recovered in the past 2 months. Read more…

Looking Back with Gratefulness The year 2021 is almost over and we look back with gratefulness in what God has done in Israel this year. Through war and shifting governments God remains faithful. I want to mention a few of our answered prayers for this year: – Through turmoil in the nation this spring, he has kept us safe. – We were able to pay for the production of Daniela’s first worship album, hoping to Read more…

America and Back Again After 6 weeks touring Texas, we are finally back home in Israel and back in the saddle of God’s work here in Herzliya. We have had a fruitful time in the U.S., and we were blown away by God’s faithfulness. We had the opportunity to spend time with our immediate families and have a little “down time,” which was very needed. We also had the opportunity to visit and speak in Read more…
