Israel, The Story Of UsPrøve

## IMPACT ISRAEL Israel is constantly buzzing with tour groups. Many are Christians traveling with their American congregations to tour the Holy Land. It’s easy to come back tired and wonder if your trip did much more than send you home with Dead Sea products, jars of sand and photos that all begin to run together over time. However, the real impact of the trip is not in what you saw. It’s in who saw you. It’s not in what you brought back. But in what you left. I still remember the first time I heard the testimony of a young Jewish girl who came to faith in Yeshua. She said she still remembers the many times she ate with her parents in restaurants on Shabbot and saw the tour groups sitting together for dinner. She observed them pray, smile and interact with each other and those around them. She said she knew, even as a little child, there was something different. They contained a light that shone brightly, a warmth that drew her in. A longing was created in her that ultimately led to her finding Yeshua as her personal Savior. She is now a completed Jew. Why do we as Christians sometimes doubt the power of the light we carry? Why do we fail to believe our lives can change the world? As a follower of Christ, God-lovers, our time in Israel is impactful and marks us forever. We bring back more stories and love and memories than can ever be contained in a suitcase. Yet did we stop to think about what we deposited in Israel? What did Israel see in us? Arise and shine God Lovers – it’s time to impact Israel! Let's pray together! The JH Israel team Pray: For God to draw believers to His land. Pray for believers to answer the call. Pray Christians will be willing to leave busy schedules and say yes to His love story….shining His glory and depositing love in the Holy Land.
