Let God Be Magnified
Hello everyone,
Last night was a wonderful night of worship, testimonies, preaching (of course), mighty prayers and communion. We were joined by an evangelistic team from the U.S. directed by Tom Doyle, author of "Two Nations Under God," a book that well defines the struggle in this land for peace. Tom has roots in Albuquerque. What a small world! He will speak at a special service tonight, as he was in Gaza yesterday, preaching at the only evangelical Christian church there (a church that has been burned down once and their pastor killed).
Last night, as we left the meeting which lasted past midnight, we experienced what Paul must have felt when he left Ephesus for the last time. The people, most of whom we will never see again, "began to weep aloud and embraced him (us), and repeatedly kissed him (us)" (Acts 30:37). What an expression of God's love. Tonight I'm sure we will experience more of the same from others. Isn't it amazing that the love of Christ transcends all cultural, ethnic and even religious barriers? "Let those who love God's salvation, be continually saying, 'Let God be magnified.'" (Psm.70:4).
Today we will enjoy a picnic on the beautiful white beaches of Haifa with our hosts. Tomorrow we drive to Bethlehem (which will be filled by members of Fatah for their political conference). We will stay at the Bethlehem Bible College guesthouse then an afternoon trip to Jerusalem before we depart for home on Wednesday from Tel Aviv. We can't express to you how much your prayers mean to us. "Let God be magnified," over and over again!
Love in Christ,
Pastor Don and Dorothy
