The Call Jerusalem

The Call
After getting settled into the Jaffa Gate Hostel, we immediately took off for The Call located at the International Conference Center. We were able to get in and what a treat to worship with believers from all over the world. The Call was focused on prayer for Israel. Israel celebrates 60 years as a nation this year and plays an important role in the second coming of Christ (read the book of Revelation).
I didn’t realize how empty I was spiritually until I got there.

It was like we have given and given these last couple of months (and please know we have also received enormously from others) and my spiritual tank was empty.

I felt like the Lord just filled me up again while we worshipped.

This day was also the Global Day of Prayer so there were large screens of prayer meetings from all of the world being shown as we worshipped.

What a great experience to have our first day in the Holy Land!

Please pray for peace in the Holy Land.

Pray for a coming together of all Arabs and Jews.

The Call Washington, DC will be Saturday, August 16th, 2008.
This will be a day of prayer and fasting for America.
Please pray about being a part of this.

Asem at the Jaffa Gate Hostel


Asem and Noir are the owners of the Jaffa Gate Hostel. We shared with them about Christ and prayed for Asem. They have kind hearts.

Tel Aviv to the Jaffa Gate Hostel ~ Jerusalem

We arrived in Tel Aviv at 2:35 am Sunday morning.

There was no transportation into Jerusalem, so we sat, played cards, ate McDonald’s and slept until about 8:30 am. We took public transportation into the Old City and were blessed to find a vacancy at the Jaffa Gate Hostel. The Hostel is run by Muslim brothers, Noir and Asem. Aiden cleans the rooms and is a Messianic Jew. (Jew by birth, yet has become a born again believer of Jesus Christ).
