We’ve planned, we’ve studied, we’ve prepared for our 2025 ON MISSION with God Tour to Israel and the time has come! This afternoon, our team will board planes from US and South African cities to unite in Tel Aviv tomorrow afternoon.

For several weeks our team has met together online to become acquainted and to prepare logistically for our trip. During that time, each of us has been met with resistance or hardship of some sort, evidence that the enemy does his best to prevent the work of God from going forward!

Through perseverance and our commitment to one another, our all-female group pressed through, and we have grown together as sisters in Christ. What a union it will be when we see one another in person for the first time at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv!

Many are curious about how long it takes to get to Israel and how we get there. It obviously depends upon where you begin and what airline you fly, but for those of us here in Phoenix, we will connect through Denver for a trans-Atlantic flight to Munich before our final leg to Tel Aviv. Total travel time is around 20 hours. Israel is 9 hours ahead of us here in Phoenix. Jet lag is expected! (Fortunately for our South African, she is in the same time zone as Israel. No jet lag for her!)

It is a long, but joyous day ahead and we are excited to begin the journey. You are part of this journey, too, even though you may not even leave your home! Join us by praying, by encouraging us (leave a comment), and/or financially supporting one of the projects we will have a hand in.

For those who have been to Israel with me previously, the Kiryat Shmona project linked above is Pastor Saleem’s church in Nazareth! If you have met him, you know his heart! The supplies provided by this project will be distributed in Kiryat Shmona!

Shalom!
