Back to Israel
N
ow that we knew which organizations we were going to support, Fia and I decided to personally hand over the donations in Israel. We also wanted to film everything in order to involve the home front more and to show them what they gave their donations to. We decided to start in Haifa, the highest point in the north of Israel, and to visit as first project the Ebenezerhome. We got a nice tour and were deeply impressed by the work that was done there. It had a Dutch staff, and most of the residents were also from Holland. It was a home where Holocaust survivors were lovingly taken care of and excellently cared for. The old ladies proudly showed off their beautiful embroideries that they had made. Afterwards we were allowed to have lunch with the staff members. We tasted the love and thanked God for bringing this project to our attention.They were so grateful to be allowed to stay in this house. They all had their own cozy room next to the larger living room. There was also a nursing ward that left nothing to be desired. We had heard that because it was a Christian House, no subsidy was received from the government, All the more so for our need to certainly support this wonderful work.
Now I had read in an Israel missionary earlier about a church nearby called Carmel, named after the mountain of the same name on which it was built. And how it had come about with donations from around the world. How a large Bible school had been built next to it, and a guest house, a shelter for refugees and associated buildings for the shelter of addicts. I had read about anointed meetings and we both wanted to be a part of that.
We took a taxi up the high mountain, but to our disappointment there were no activities at that time, but we did get a tour of the Church and not a word was said too much about it. He was beautiful! Still a bit disappointed we walked down the mountain and took the bus back to Jerusalem, On to our next visit!
