They Love Too
One of the joys of traveling in ministry is meeting new people. Especially those who are halfway across the USA in the state of Texas.
On Monday, while with our Christian Friends of Israel ministry team, I met and spent time with three couples (one my age in their 70s and two the age of my children, in their 40s) at a home meeting of about 24. (It was a big house. Yes, everything is big in Texas as they say.)
I like their names. I particularly love their heart for the Lord Jesus and thus their hearts for Israel and His Chosen people the Jews.
Ben is married to Cristen (her spelling.) James and Jamie are almost newlyweds (in their 70s.)
Thomas is from Pennsylvania but moved to Dallas 50 years ago. (Says he is not an NFL fan, so no Dallas Cowboys support there.) His wife Julie treasures him. (Just an observation.)
I gave them each a copy of my 40th book, “Back To Jerusalem”, being we had been talking about the red heifers in Shiloh, with a chapter in the book, with an abundance of photos of course!
Laurie and I had the joy of seeing the four red heifers, originally Texan cattle, now in Israel, in December 2025. I was able to interview their keeper, Larry Borntrager, a Mennonite from Indiana, and write of him also in a full chapter.
These are good people who support Israel too.
They continue to learn of the Lord’s heart for the Land and those He has, and continues to, bring back, to their promised Land.
As believers, He has chosen us to lift up Jewish arms and bring His love to them. Blessing them brings blessing to us.
“Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.” Isaiah 40:1
As we continue to travel this vast land of Texas, taking His Word of support as Christians for the Jews and our comforting work in Israel, His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, is directing our steps (and loaded van) to meet more who love Him, and love His people.
Be blessed as you do the same.
Ahava and shalom,
