We just returned from Israel,
The team consisted of only 3 members: Me, Pastor Doug and Frankie. We preached in the under ground churchs one of which I have photos of that do not compromise their Identity. We where outside for 10 hours a day, for 10 days in the desert sun and none of us got sunburned once!

Also, we had many amazing divine appointments over there, preaching publically in places where we should have been arrested. We openly witness to a Palistinian youth in a cafe in the heart islamic quarter of the old city, the police where called in, showed up, listened to us, and then simply wondered off cofussed. We prayed with Our Jewish Brothers at the Kotel, watching as the power of Yeshua fell on them and caused them to weep tears of joy as we told them to Study the Prophesies and that Yeshua is the ONLY Messiah. We publically anointed with oil, laid hands on, and prayed for the healing of an Arab resturaunt owner inside the Jaffa gate, who had had a heart attack days earlier, the next day his doctor told him he had experienced a Miricle of healing. We spent the next night eating a dinner personally made by him and openly preached Jesus to and prayed for his whole islamic staff. We had repeated divine appointments with an anglican priest named Martin that was praying "for More than this" at Galgotha inside the Garden Tomb, Just to turn and fall down some steps to land flat on his back at our feet! After 3 such God arranged appointments with him, and after he recieved the Baptism of the Spirit evedenced by Speaking in Tongues, We won Him to the truth of Acts 2:38 Pentecostal Christianity. He has returned home to England to rebaptise, by Immusion, in "Jesus' name", his whole congregation!

Glory to GOD!

Pastor Doug has posted pics taken with his camera, and he also downloaded tons of pics taken with mine, and he has uploaded all of them to his church's web server. These links below will take you to the pics:

Even after you see those, remember that all the many pics I took today are not included, and none of Bro Frankie's have been uploaded yet. Bro Frankie is a professional photographer, and he is taking some breathtaking pics! His portable hard drive for photo storage is many gigabytes, and he is filling it up. It will take much time to get them all copied to the computer, dressed for the website, and uploaded. We'll get more and more to you over time. Enjoy!

WONDERFUL! Father, we give You praise for Your wonderful works among men! Awesome, just awesome........what a blessing you have shared. Thank you.......

Here is a photo of the ministry team heading out of the church in Bethlehiem!

I am the guy in the middle:

Praise G-d!

I liked the pictures that Frankie took, but not your comment. How inappropriate of you to call Pentecostalism, which doesn't even believe in eternal security (Romans 8:31-39), the only appropriate form of Christianity (Romans 14)?

Your photos reminded me of my '82 visit, except we did not go to the Catholic version of the place of resurrection, only to that last area under the rocky skull. We sat right up there on those benches and shared communion.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice pictures indeed... A lot of places I recognized for I live for 4 years in Jerusalem now, and sometimes take also tourists around the city.
I hope to go to BethLehem myself once, but as a Jew there is not much to see and a bit dangerous maybe. For I'm not allowed to go to most Churches.

I even will go with some Christians around the City, and show them some stuff. I still have some Christian friends.
In the last 4 years I never met a publically preaching or proclaming or whatsover Christian personally. Although I saw some woman walking around in dresses, but everybody knows she has some-kind of Jerusalem syndrom...

So if I had met you publically preaching against Israeli Law (and you even know it) then I ask myself... Why do Christians do not follow the Law of the state where they go to? And is it not written in the Christian Testament, that the Messiah will not shout on the streets, and is it not written that Christians should leave from places where the message is not welcome... whipe the sand of your feet etc.?
So If I had met you, you might have been taken away of been given a warning by the Police, in a more clear statement. That mainly in Honour of my grandmother who was sick, and didn't get bread even from evangelicall Christians for she was Jewish... etc. etc.

Please stay Christian. Be friendly but don't hate Jews in the way you came on the streets in Jerusalem!!!
You wrote before that you wanted to go to the Jewish and PalestinianChristian comunities to commune with them  (well on the photo's I see a lot of Thailandim).
But NEVER preach on Israeli streets anymore pleace. Publically is it forbidden. And I'm not thankfull for your disrespect and hatred.

Peter said that Yeshua was APPROVED among them by signs and wonders. Timothy tells us that we are to study to show ourselves APPROVED. We also told signs and wonders follow them that believe.

By this I was shown not to judge another man's servant based on doctrinal disagreements, because if signs and wonders (which come from and through the Spirit of G-d) are following someone, then that means they have studied to show themselves approved, and guess Who did the approving?

Steadfast,
Thank you for posting your pics, and sharing about your trip.  God bless.

Yetzirah (and all), as I understand it  ....

PROSELYTIZING IS NOT ILLEGAL IN ISRAEL except

1) One may not proselytize a minor (under 18) without their parents' permission.  And

2) One may not offer financial or material incentives to try to get someone to convert.


Can someone in the know confirm this?  Thanks.

I thought jc fullfilled all those "messiah" prophecies.

Then why doesn't "the whole world know of the one true G-d of Israel" as it says in many places within the Hebrew bible?
