After a few days in Haifa we are back in Jerusalem. Haifa was definately one of the most beautiful places I have seen so far, right on the Medditerranean Sea. During our time there we worked with a Messianic Jewish congregation doing various service projects. Friday night we had the opportunity to host two different youth groups, one was all Russian and another group was from Chicago. We had at least three to four different languages among us but somehow we seemed to make it work. We all had a great time in fellowship together having a rooftop barbeque, singing worship songs and performing skits. It was a really fun experience in fellowship with fellow believers from all over the world.
On the way home from Haifa yesterday we had the chance to make a pit stop in the ancient Roman town of Ceasarea. It was so cool to see the 2,000 year old Roman ruins built by king Harod. There was an ancient ampitheater and gladiator areana. You could even visit the house of Agrippa where the Apostle Paul was put on trial.
Today we spent the day putting together care packages of food and making cards for the Holocaust survivor ministry. We will be destributing the packages tomorrow in Sderot. Please be in prayer for our group that through these care packages, we can share the love of Christ with these people who have lived through so much..
