thank you all beyond thanks for all the prayers lately. it had been so good being up north and connecting with the bases here. the entire trip from varanasi was long... but great.
my friend and i spend 28 hours on the first train, followed by 6+ hours on a toy train in the mountains to shimla. the town was amazing felt more like europe than india. i met just a bit with a friend there, then early the next morning we were off on a bus to kullu. it was about 8 hours in all. there we stayed a night with kamal and was more than blessed by his family's hospitality. we heard story after story of how God has blessed their lives.. from big things too! kamal contacted the base in manali to let them know i was coming, which served as more than a huge blessing! the next day we left on yet another bus to manali where i met up with the base leaders and heard their hearts as well as explained my reason for visiting. it was a great time and they invited me back the next day to join them for worship. they all introduced themselves to me, but i cannot remember names so well here... :) zach and i took a couple small treks, one of them being under a waterfall.. which is unexplainably gorgeous! the other, we were joined by a dog for the entire time.. from the village to the top. i parted ways near the top for alone time. God has been blessing me so much lately and yet i feel that i should be doing something more... it seems this way, from being alone to having a companion to travel with, i get distracted. so maybe pray that my hunger for Him would out weight everything else! that my eyes would be open to what He is doing.
during my time up there, i also got some leadings towards the future. as for timing and money, haven't got a clue. that's more than ok.
Papa, may my thought be overwhelmed by who You are. that i would be reminded everywhere i look of Your greatness. i pray for breakthrough in this valley. for the work that is being done here would grow and the place will be filled with truth! thank You for making me part of Your plan... open up ancient gate, open up you ancient doors... and let the King of Glory enter! who is this King of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty... the Lord invincible in battle!
this is a battle! so let's wage the biggest war we have ever known as one body!
Jesus, we need more of You. please fill us up that we can fight this battle of love and know who we are in You. thank You for freedom and salvation! i am Yours and You are mine!
all in Jesus name and in His victory! amen!
today i look to spend time at the base here in manali and build further relationships. tomorrow may be spent heading to dharamsala and connecting with the people there.
oh, a praise to God. last night i got sick.. with sharp pains in my abdominal... i was sms ing my friend who i met in delhi. he said he would pray for me and not to worry, because tomorrow morning i would feel all better. as i layed in bed, tossed and turned from the aches, spend most of the night sweating, i started to wonder if i had something bad.. or where it came from. i was evaluating everything i ate over the past days.. but.. ... as morning came, i was better. it was incredible and at the same time, how could i expect anything less than my Papa taking care of me.. the making it evident that it is Him who does it. so, thank You Daddy.. as well as thanks ankur! Mein Gott ist gross!
i am sure that's enough to take in for now. sorry for not writing sooner. much love to you all keep them prayers coming.
viel Liebe, israel
