ISRAEL TRIP

PASSOVER "08"
Shalom everyone! Father is an awesome G-d and we were absolutely blessed to spend our first passover in the land. We were honored to be able to attend a Passover Sedar in the old city just a few doors down from where the Last Supper took place. Jim stood up during this set-apart meal, with tears in his eyes, and shared how he and his family each year at the end of their passover meal would speak out in unison "Next year in Jerusalem". I know each of us long to be able to spend Passover in the land and we believe a day is coming that we will all be able to sit together and break bread. Who knows, maybe? - "Next year in Jerusalem!"

"These are the words of
him who is holy and true,
who holds the key of David.
What he opens no one can
shut, and what he shuts no
one can open."
Rev 3:7

The trip to Israel was great and other than our funding source not coming through as promised, we had great success! We went from one side of Israel to the other and from one end of Israel to the other. Not what was planned at all for the project, but it was nice. According to the gentleman that arranged the trip we were to have done several things that did not happen, at this point we are not sure why, but we (the four from the C/S team that went) have our thoughts as to why they didn't. None-the-less...We are very thankful to Father and the Larson's for blessing us.

We have an archaeologist and he is in a great position in Israel. He has also started the paperwork for the permit!!! We are now waiting on the green light from the archaeologist to send the first wave of people over to start the dig.

Some very interesting and almost miraculous things happened while we were in Israel that encourage us to know that God is in charge. That we should not worry and just press forward, doing what God has placed in our hearts to do. The next trip to Israel "will be to dig," or else I am not going...LOL

THE BIG PICTURE!!!

Father has laid on our hearts that there is a bigger picture unfolding with the Copper Scroll Project. One of the things we have been praying for, besides the doors being open and closed, is the Big Picture. As the project unfolds, Jim and myself are being asked to share and it is during this time that the bigger picture is going to be revealed. Our first and foremost goal is to restore the items of the Copper Scroll to Yisra'el, while at the same time keeping our eye out for what Father is wanting to reveal to his people. We believe that the bigger picture is going to come forward as we go forth to share about the project and what Father lays on our hearts. Please pray that the bigger picture will be revealed in its time and that we will be faithful to represent G-d to his people and what he is wanting to say through the Copper Scroll Project.
