And HE slipped away pt2

Israel...the Holy one of ISRAEL! Israel...I am going to ISRAEL! I know I haven't spoken much about this trip. It has been tossed around quite often between the gals that I am going with, but did not really have firm details set in place until a week or so ago. We now have a team blog called Awaken Israel. While in Israel, we will all be updating from that blog. So please go and check it out. I mentioned in a previous post the things that God has put on my heart for Israel, but I will share again. When ever I sit and think about our trip to Israel, I feel Gods heart for us is really to GO. I have this sense of urgency...the time is now. Although part of the reason we are going is to scout out the land to take future outreach teams.I believe this trip, although short, is going to be much larger in perspective than we think. When I first left for Australia to do my DTS, I longed for a different perspective on the world, because all I had known was what it looked like from the American side of view. I believe God is going to break our boxes as we go to Israel. Take us deeper. As He takes us deeper, we will be able to champion and impart that to our students coming in July and fellow staffers. We are going to worship and pray over the land. We are going to declare scripture over the  land! We recently have had prayers answered and Sam Choi who staffed the Awaken DTS' with us last year is going to come with US! PRAISE! We are still in need for $2000 person for flights. Pray for us as we go on this 3 week trip, May11th-30th.

From Denver, CO. I have a huge heart for the nation of Israel. I love to see God moving in peoples lives and simply amazed that He allows me to be a part of it. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, good conversation and talking about the Lord and what He is doing in my life, your life and the world. His love is never ending and always enduring. I can hardly wait to see what He has planned for this time in Israel.

From Wheaton, IL.  Jesus completely altered the course of my life through His unrelenting love. My heart is for broken women and teens and I long to see the Lord bring restoration to their lives and hearts.

  Sam Choi- Staffed last Awaken DTS and is joining us on this journey.

Many times in Scripture,  Jesus slipped away in solitude to pray. I feel that is the season he has called me in. Being intentional about slipping away to be with him and pray. Without getting away with him and being alert to what he is saying... I would not be in the place I am. The things he has been speaking to me have been so full. I am excited to go to the Holy Land. To understand to context behind so many things that Jesus spoke in scripture.

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35
