The desire to be in the midst of 'God's doings' in Israel was deposited into our hearts a long time ago. Over the years there have been on-going reminders of that desire.
The bluish green shale rock, picked up on a mountainside during a vacation in B.C., has been part of our household for years. The shape of it is very similar to that of the tiny country of Israel. It has been like a silent promise that one day it would be the right time.
The time is now...this Saturday, February 25th! Our work projects are not yet clearly defined, but we do know we will be serving Russian and Eastern European Jews as they settle into their God-appointed homeland.
