| Joshua |
 | | Josh and the guys on trek in Brazil. |
Our oldest son Joshua just completed a year long mission to India, Thailand and South America. Young Israelis travel to these countries by the thousands after their military service to get away from the violence and tensions that build up during the three-year army service. Together with some of his friends, Josh spend the year sharing their lives and the the good news of God's promised Messiah. |

| Moriel |
 | | Arabs and Jews meeting together. |
Moriel, our 23-year-old daughter just returned from a Palestinian and Israeli reconciliation project. These young adults spent two weeks together working through the issues that separate our peoples so violently. Unlike the political initiatives, these God-fearing young adults deal with the issues of the heart, the only place where we can find true Shalom. Next year they will meet again in Jordan. They know that they have discovered the only way to peace in the Middle East. Please pray for them that they will find ways to demonstrate real reconciliation and the power of the gospel to our people.

| Elisha |
|
Our youngest son Elisha has committed his life to Yeshua.
What a wonderful reminder of God's faithfulness that in spite of all our troubles He has the power to transform our broken lives.
 | | Coming up out of the water into a new life! |
Three others also committed their lives to follow the Messiah through the waters of baptism at a wonderful ceremony in the Judean mountains. Elisha leaves November 8 to the USA where he has been accepted to a 7 month wilderness training program for young Messianic believers. |
