MATTHEW 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come." PSALM 86:9, "All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name." REVELATION 5:9, "You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation."
Just
had an amazing time of prayer and worship at the Jerusalem House of
Prayer for all Nations on the Mount of Olives from where Jesus ascended
and where He will return. Earlier we visited Golgotha and the Garden
Tomb where we took communion together. We are all encountering Jesus in
such new ways. I am undone!
Arrived
in Isr-ael with our team after a little snag at the border, one long
bus ride to Naza-reth and another long bus ride to Jeru-salem. Cannot
begin to describe how I feel being here.
Our
Iris Relief Middle East team just returned from our last day in the
refugee camp. What an amazing time sitting with the broken and displaced
Sy-rian refugees, hearing their stories, praying for the sick and
broken-hearted. Another successful Iris Relief trip. Now off to the
desert of Wadirum to ride camels, then to Israel for a week.

Iris Relief Middle East Team in Wa-di Rum Desert - Mighty Ninjas
The
city of Ir-bid, Jor-dan is home to half a million Sy-rian refugees. Our
team will be doing house visits today as well as a huge food
distribution this evening at the local church. What an incredible honor
it is to be here for such a time as this!
.
We
were able to distribute food packages to 90 Sy-rian families last
night. They all entered the local church and sat down. Our team served
them coffee and cookies as they heard the message of Jesus. What an
amazing thing to behold- a church building filled with people of another
faith. Some said they didn't come for the food, but because they feel
good there. One thing we have heard over and over again from the
refugees is that people of their own faith never helped them escape to
Jor-dan, but it was always Christian families that took them in and
helped them. God is so good!
Just
got back from the refugee camp in Zaa-tari where we ministered the love
of Jesus to the displaced. Then we visited a Sy-rian man and his family
who made it out of the camp. His twelve year old son was spit on in the
market on their first day out of the camp for being Sy-rian, so we
washed his feet and prayed over him. These people of a different faith
are being wrecked by the love of Yesua (Arabic for Jesus)!
Heading Back up North to the Sy-rian Refugee Camps
Our
team is heading back up north to work in the camps and among the
refugees this morning. We're gonna hit it hard for the next four days.
Faith is our shield. Hope is our anchor. Love is our only agenda.
Breakthrough is imminent!
Chilling
with our team at Mount Nebo (where Moses lifted up the serpent on the
stick and where he saw the promised land) and the Dead Sea today after
another amazing day of house visits to Sy-rian refugees yesterday in Al
Ma-fraq. The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth. Going lower still.
Our
Iris Relief Middle East team had so much favor today and made it into
the refugee camp in Zaa-tari where over 150,000 refugees are staying. We
listened to horrendous stories of imprisonment and torture. We saw
inner healings as well as many physical healings as we prayed at each
tent. The indigenous Jor-danians said that the kind of breakthrough that
we saw today has never happened before. These desperate people are
absolutely beautiful and Papa God has broken our hearts for them.
Our
Iris Relief team prayed and worshipped on the Sy-rian border today,
releasing the peace of God. After a while we were joined by a group of
Sy-rian men of the M faith, who raised their hands toward their homeland
with us, as we sang "Our God is greater." We ended our time praying a
blessing over each of them in the name of Jesus. We were told this was
unheard of before. Greater things are yet to come.
