rom that moment on things went fast. We heard by chance that a good space would become available in September, where services had previously been held on Sunday mornings. We were able to take over the hall on Sunday morning without any problems. We had our own trusted praise team at our disposal who were looking forward to it again after being retired for a while because of the problems in the previous congregation.Already in the beginning we had asked the Lord to lead us to organizations that we could support with the set aside 'tithe'.For example, the first work of John and Judy Pex called 'the Shelter' in Eilat came to our attention.We also wanted to support a settlement and contacted Sondra Baras, International intermediary. She would take us to a settlement that could use our support.Fia and I planned to go to Israel and personally visit the projects to be closely involved as a congregation.
For reasons that I would not understand until later, it was on my heart to invite two more sisters from the congregation. One of these two spoke a little Hebrew and that might come in handy.A great adventure lay ahead of us, the planning could begin!
