Day 14 - May 24 - Tuesday

My Journal Entry:

Sleeping in was marvelous! The drive afterward, not as much... we were in the car for three hours trying to find our destination. We finally reached Mt. Carmel and had lunch there - how cool is it that we got to eat in the same place where, somewhere on that mountain, God sent down fire and the prophets of Baal scattered everywhere, then Elijah chased them all down and slaughtered them? Yay God! Then we went to the Mediterranean Sea and hung out on the beach for a little bit before driving to a ministry spot. Our largest audience was probably fifteen people at best, which was a little hard to get used to, but literature did go out, so hopefully we reached somebody. We moved back to the beach to perform, but we weren't allowed to perform there, so we just handed out tracts. We got to see a suspicious object search while we were there, though! Someone had left a duffel bag on the boardwalk, and an area around it about a block long was cordoned off, and a man in a full bodysuit and mask was working on taking things out of the bag. At one end of the area, opposite the bag, was a truck that he pulled a long wire out of. He walked it to the duffel bag, after bending it around a pole in the ground across the street from the bag(so the wire was in an L shape now), clipped the wire to an object in the bag, then walked back to the truck and retracted the wire. It would drag the item across the ground to the pole, then the guy would stop it, go the the object, unclip the wire, and hook it to the next item in the bag. Repeat until bag was empty. Nothing blew up. How strange to be in a country where they expected it to! In America, people would just turn it in to lost and found, leave it there, or make off with it. So different.

Mr. Wilson's Details:

Today we will go again to Haifa, this time for street ministry in a
neighborhood of may Sudanese Jewish refugees who have settled in Israel, and later on the Mediterranean beachfront, where throngs of locals and tourists will be strolling. Pray for the effective planting of seeds and the eventual harvest that is so needed in these days so uncertain for the Israeli people!
