We are thrilled to report that the Mother's Day event on March 17, 2012 in Eilaboun, Israel went very well. Over 900 Arab Israeli and Palestinian women attended and many lives were changed. You can read more about the event here. Thank you for your prayers for this important event!
In March, Rani had the opportunity to preach at Crosspointe Indian Church, which is one of the international churches meeting at Hunter's Glen Baptist. He enjoyed the chance to share with believers from a different culture and looks forward to worshiping with them again soon. Rani has also continued his work with the Missions Department at HGBC and organized a community worship service that took place this past Thursday, April 5, 2012. Each international church sent a representative to give a brief introduction in their native language, followed by a time of community worship in more than seven languages, a re-enactment of the Lord's Supper (in which Rani played the role of Jesus), and communion. Leaders from HGBC took turns washing the feet of the international pastors and leaders, who in turn washed the feet of the church leaders.

The month of March was a difficult time for the Espanioly's of Nazareth. Rani's Aunt Marie passed away following a sudden illness. She was the eldest sister of Rani's father and will be greatly missed. We appreciate your prayers for the family at this time.
