Dear Friends: “O LORD my strength* and my fortress,My refuge in the day of affliction.” Jeremiah 16:19a  strength* = power + security Are you surprised to see ‘summer’ as the date on your letter? We have just come through temperatures of 40 to 45 C. Twenty forest fires exploded across Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Russia all came to our aid, thank God! Meanwhile, we kept our home closed up with fans going; all  the while we were drinking copious amounts of water with fresh lemon! Yes… summer is here! Thank you each and everyone for your prayers for Daniel. He is feeling ‘better’ but not up to full health yet. Still a diagnosis has to be found, and tests continue and we believe for his complete recovery and health. I am enclosing the following teaching for the many among us who are experiencing trials at this time. “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:…but rejoice…” 1 …

Dear Friends who have prayed for our son Daniel:Here is an update. For 51 years since leaving Canada, the LORD has made us very dependent upon Him. We see each love notice and kindness as a gift from His hand. Thank you for inquiring about our youngest son’s health for prayer purposes. Daniel was diagnosed with lesions on his brain and languishes… not well, not totally ill… just not up to par. We have applied topically, or orally: aloe, coconut oil, fish oils and garlic to his routine and diet. We are believing the inflammation in his brain is subject to Messiah Jesus! The Bloodline keeps us alive and safe. The Holy One of Israel has proven His faithfulness all of these years. Just this morning Jay was rehearsing how Jesus healed my incurably sick liver back in 1969, when the doctors could do nothing. (I had lived in India for 2 yrs.) Then how He healed Chris from meningitis as a very small boy in Ecuador 1973, and raised Jay from the dead in Marseille 1976… We …

To My Dear Friends:The prayer on my lips these days is: …lead us in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:24 On Friday, April 26th we took our youngest son Daniel to emergency because his speech was slurred and he couldn’t get his thoughts out. Many of you read our prayer requests on his behalf. Thank you for your notes of encouragement and assurances of prayer for Daniel. He spent a week in the hospital, undergoing extensive investigative procedures. All we know at this point is that he has sustained inflammation in his brain. Perhaps with the results of his blood and spinal fluid exams, some light will be shed on what is going on. Meanwhile, he is resting at home, and taking steroids, which leave him very tired. So… it is a time to rest and reflect; which he is doing. “I can feel the prayers, ” he said, “please thank everyone for me and don’t stop!” We encourage ourselves with this promise: Mercy and truth have met together, righteousness and peace have kissed. Psalm 85:10 …

My Dear Friends: My heart is so full. I have prayed that this letter will be a blessing to each one of you, personally. What a privilege it is for us to “bless” the LORD; especially when the going gets rough. Before I start just let me say, we have not heard from some of you this year. Kindly indicate if you would like to be part of our world. In this letter we celebrate Passover as we believe it is set forth in Scripture. Baruch Atah – YOU!In Hebrew we begin every blessing with Baruch Atah! In todays world of gender hysteria, here we speak intimately to God as Atah or YOU.  Immediately we are drawn into relationship, a love relationship. Secondly, baruch means to bless. So first thing every day we bless YOU!  Jesus addressed His Father this way. This is a personal and intimate relationship, far removed from ‘religion’.  I think this is one of Israel’s secrets, and is honourable and noteworthy. Scrubbing away PRIDE & ARROGANCEPassover brings a sense of expectation …
