O Valiant Warrior
Hello everyone,
In 2006, our hosts Pastor Philip and Violet Saa'd, stood on their patio with their children reciting Scriptures as they watched rockets from S. Lebanon rain down on Haifa. First they hit the sea, then the seaport two miles away, and then flew over their heads toward the city, belching their lethal flames. They came from the demonic military of the Hezbollah. Such is the daily potential in the lives of those who live in Israel.
Today the Saa'ds are hosting a group of twenty-two from the States with E3 Partners. They are here to evangelize in the German Colony right below their home and where their church is located. The group will also be at our meeting tonight. Most of the Saa'd children are involved in the ministry with their parents. The three girls head up the worship team and Paul, the youngest, is out with the group today as a translator. Two of the girls, Nardene and Sharon are also in Medical School approaching internship.
They are tireless, full of faith, and have learned how to depend on God for everything. We have much to learn. Nothing is easy here in this hostile land and ministry is difficult trying to reach the Jews, Muslims and nominal Arabs with the saving grace of Jesus. And yet they are persistent and compassionate and trust that the Holy Spirit will do what man cannot. Please join with us as we encourage our brethren here with our love and prayers. They need our intercession. Judges 6:12 says, "The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior." Surely he wrote this for the Saad's and the Haifa Baptist Arab Christian Church as well. We're so glad to be here for this season. See you soon.
Love in Christ,
Pastor Don and Dorothy
