i am in spokane now! thank you for the prayers. haha, the last time i had a 19 hour layover in montana. this time is was barely 1 hour. so thanks again.

at the current time, i am considering a few possiblities for the future that could be kept in prayer. in all my preferences... i would like to get these loans payed off as soon as possible, and head back to berlin. i was blessed with hearing about some really cheap fares for returning... but there has to be things done before i just go hopping on a plane to another country to work for the Lord. again.. the main one being getting rid of them loans... gaining freedom, and i am excited to see it and be involved with it happening.
there are a couple possibilities right now... i can stay in spokane, look for a job, work.... so on...
i can head back west... same thing... or i can head over to seattle. a friend knows a ywamer (someone who is the past has completed a DTS, discipleship training school, with youth with a mission)(once a ywamer, always a ywamer. -tobi) who ownes a buisness. it is a possibility to go there and work for him.
as for other possibilities... nothing set in stone... but with God nothing is impossible.

this is the main decision that needs to be made. my main concern is just following the Lord on this one. not jumping into anything without Him. that would be a drastic mistake....!

as for support.......

i honestly can't thank you enough for the prayers, words and finances sown into my life over the last year. it's through you that the gospel is being preached all over the world. it is sooo amazing to see God provide for people, including myself, and He is using His people to do it. thank you! Vielen Dank! echt!

Thank You Father for our hands to work with. thank You that You are forever with us... wherever we are. thank You for leading us and helping us to grow. i believe You will continue to show Your path for me to follow.... i also pray for those reading this. that they may grow with You. lead them down Your path and show them Your mighty hand! with You, nothing is impossible! thank You for healing our bodies, for encouraging our hearts and saving our souls! may Your words pour out of us and Your blessings flow from our hands! Danke Vater!
we also pray for Berlin, for the spiritual walls to come down! In JESUS NAME! thank You for Your heart for Deutschland, and the blessing that the people are to the world. thank You for loving the world, and for dying for all people from all over! Du bist gut! we can't praise You enough.. but help us never forget what You continually do in our lives!
Vielen Dank Vater, in Jesus name, amen! so be it!

i will keep you updated... posted... in the web of information.... and in my prayers.

ich muss weiter deutsch lernen.... können sie deutsch reden?

blood is thick... don't allow grudges to thin it out.

tschüssie und viel liebe, israel

every prayer matters

good evening, or what ever time of day it is where you are!

i would prefer to keep this short for sleep will soon come.

i understand that many people lately are getting sick and would like to take time to lift them up in prayer.

Vater, thank You for hearing our cries. thank You for medicine.. for doctors... for Your healing! we pray and ask in Jesus name.. for all those in our lives that are sick.. with anything... that You would please heal them. that they could see Your power... and experience Your grace through this. thank You for hearing us and wanting the best for us! In Jesus name, so be it!

take steps of faith knowing that He has the power to heal and do anything that He desires.
Bei Gott ist nichts unmöglich! matt. 19.26

tomorrow i ride the bus to spokane, wa. i am not sure what will happen there.. whether work to pay towards the school loans.. or just a transition before i am lead somewhere else. i do know though.. despite what my mind may want to think, that i will be lead. HE IS FAITHFUL!
ER IST TREU! IMMER!

the time here has been amazing and hope that i will see everyone again soon. at least before heading back to Deutschland. thank you all for the time and prayers that you have sown into me. what blessings you are! Vielen dank!

as a reminder.. while in the states... loans need to be paid off and montly support raise for when i return to berlin for long term ministry. the overall montly price is about $1200, €700. always grateful for prayers in this area.


also.. please continue to pray for berlin, for the spiritual walls to come down. God is doing something and no power on earth or heaven can stop Him! as prayers served the main weapon in bringing down the concrete boundaries... so will it also play the greatest role in breaking these children free from the plans of the enemy! they are important to Him... and He hears our prayers... every prayer matters!

every prayer matters...

thank You Father...

viel liebe, israel
(much love)

mehr von Dir

i am truly amazed at how many people read these things... thank you all so much for caring and following me in this journey!

for the first days at my mothers and here at my fathers, my heart ached for berlin... for my friends there.. for the entire place. i would cry in the bathroom or in my room when i first woke up. it was extremely difficult.   but God confronted me on it.. i was shown that i was being selfish with wanting to go back RIGHT NOW and now waiting for God's timing. it was a hard thing to face and still is not always easy.. but i am trusting God. 

after that day.. i told God that i need help... i need someone i can speak german with... to find support... and to work and pay off loans.

later that day..... yes, THAT DAY, my dad and i went to a church picnic and it was amazing. i met a german exchange student... he said i had perfect grammar... a couple people said that they would like to support me when i go back to germany if God provides...  then i was asked if i wanted to make some money roofing a house the next day!

HA!   all three answered, just like that!

so... yesterday i had lunch with an amazing man with wisdom and love. he confronted me asking if i was praying for what i needed. i realized that i was praying in a general sort of way... but not naming specifics. so....

Father, thank You for all You have done in my life. for blessing me so much. i pray that these school loans would be paid off soon! that support would be raised to return home to berlin, and i would continue to learn german and about the history. and in all of this... may my heart become more like Yours, and may i become more of the person You created me to be. thank You that i don't need to do this alone.. and help me not to. and all those who are in the same situation as me.. that You for being with them too! You are amazing. thank You for providing all i need... all the time! in Jesus name, Amen!

tomorrow... by His grace, i am getting a ride up to rapid to be with my mom, friends and family for a week before heading back to washington. 

honestly i have no idea what to expect or how it will all work out... but please keep praying that i can keep Him and His people first... above myself and my needs. He truly loves us and i want to love others that way!

that 'plan' is to continue to learn german.. study.. maybe work... and build relationships and support. 

but we'll see what He has in mind. :)

Achso, 

another thing to be praying for is to be more radical for Christ... that i could speak boldly and trust in Him completely. that others could see Him in me.     less of me, more of Him!

over the past days that i have been visiting my father, we have gone to church or some ministry each day. i had the honor of sharing about ywam at the last two and tonight as well. the slide show is finished.. but i look to redo it... some of the slide are too fast...  you can check it out at  Berlin dts 09

thank you again for your prayers and i pray that God would show you His heart. that you could be encouraged by all that is around you. that He would continue to surround you with His people and that they will show an accurate representation of Him. He is soooo good and oh that we could know Him more. that we could trust Him more. that we could see others as He sees them.. or believe with the faith of a mustard seed. may we act in faith... doing things that can only be explained by His great glory and faithfulness. He loves us and i am being convinced more and more that does have the best for us! Er ist treu!

i pray all of this in His Sons name, Jesus Christ our redeemer!

blessings to all of you and if i can be praying for you too.... let me know.

He hears our prayers!

viel liebe, israel

a heavy heart

i am currently in the midwest visiting family. it is usually amazing being with my family because i don't get to see them often. i love them and thank You God for them!

upon my return to the states.. i had but goals... and i still believe they are right. but i am in question of what i am suppose to do at the moment. i have a job offer in seattle.. i think... its not forsure anything... i could always look around in other places i have lived... but what it comes down to is following His voice.

please keep me in your prayers.. i miss germany so badly. my heart is there and it is so difficult not being there. i need to get these loans paid off for freedom and believe that it is God's will for that freedom.

please excuse my compaining... i don't feel the contentment being here that maybe should be there. is it for a reason? am i suppose to be here? am i suppose to go back sooner.. later... Oh God show me which path to take!

other than getting loans paid off... i need to locate supporters who are willing to give on a monthly basis to cover rent, bills.. living expenses when i move back to berlin. please consider this and let me know if you desire for this. the total amount a month that needs to be raised is about $1200. One time gifts are more than needed too... for the flight there or for any unsuspected suprises. again, please consider and pray about being a regular or one time supporter of me and His plan for my life.

thank you all for continually praying. i will do my best to keep all of you updated in these next few weeks as this are unrevealed and direction is shown. God is sooooo good.. as in He has never let me fall when i have trusted in Him.. His salvation is forever... His grace is a gift that we don't deserve and He has done too much for me not to believe that He has a good plan for this time in usa.. for my life.. and for yours!
I pray that He shows us His plan.. that He makes us part of that plan.. that our lives be poured out as a sacrifice and we truly trust in Him. Father, please bless my family.. heal hearts, help us be in You! rest in You. and know You more!
please Father help me... and please don't give up on me. also please reveal Yourself to those who seek You and heal our wounds.. our doubt.. our disbelief. Wir gross bist du! thank You for all You have done, and i believe You are far from done!

i also pray for berlin! for deutschland. oh how You love that place. i can only imagine how much more You love those people than i do... please protect them and continue to destroy the plans of the enemy against them. You are bigger! stronger! and forever our God! our Father. may Your will be done! danke Vater!
we pray this in Jesus name, Amen!

please continue to pray.. not only for me, but for Germany, Berlin, the World. We need more of Him.. the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. Send more workers!

thank you all for your time and may Your hearts be open to see how loved You are!


tomorrow i should be headed south to see my dad until the following wednesday. i look forward to seeing Him and visiting the rest of the church there. I love them! and so does our Father.
i will also be working on a slide show about the last months. you'll know when it's done.

Gott segne euch!
und bis bald!

viel liebe, israel

ich bin da!

i am back in spokane washington.

i am not quite sure of where i am going... but i do know that God has a plan and that He is divine.
nothing is impossible for Him.

the next step is to find a good job to pay off school loans...
along with visiting family and friends.. and resting.

the trip was fun.

the plane from berlin was an hour late.. so in london i had to run through the airport. God hooked it up and neither i nor my luggage was late.
on the plane from london the "personal enterainment thing.." was not working.. so i spoke a bunch with a lady from london, a couple from livingston read.
the plane to spokane war super schnell! was very fast.
i think i slept the whole time... 50mins...
then was picked up by my tim and sal.

this morning was very difficult. i miss germany so much already.
looking over school loans.. realizing i don't even have a job yet... just overwhelming.
but His grace is enough. though i don't deserve any good thing.. He has given me so much and i will be thankful for what He has done.. knowing that He is far from done with me yet.

amongst things to do is preparing to go back to berlin.
learning more german.
researching the history of berlin and germany.
and visiting, thanking and seeking supporters.

i am not just seeking one time givers.. but those who can continually sow into me and being in berlin. though loans need to be paid off before i go back.. all support is more than appreciated. and i look forward to hearing from all of you of how life has been and sharing with you the adventures God has brought us through.

i will keep updating my blog to share the progress with you along with prayer requests.

Father, bei dir ist alles moeglich.
with You all is possible. thank You for that hope. and i pray for the nations. those who have not heard Your name. those who have given up hope. those who are lost...
may Your hope... Your Son shine!
thank You for all who have prayed and support me though this time. and as we enter into this new season.. may we do so with hope of Your grace and love.
Ich glaube du bist gut!
i believe You are good!
in Jesus... and by His blood.. amen!

please keep in touch and don't lose hope for His promises...

die letzten Tage

i am officially... finished with dts!
it is weird to think that i spent the last 6 months with everyone here.. but i wish i could spend a whole lot longer.
the last two students leave back home tomorrow. thus i will be chillin here... staff and many friends... but forsure missing my close friends whom i have grown so close to and love so much.
May God bless them with His highest good.

i wish i could say so much more but due to jet lag and lots of walking... i'll make it short...
meine Beine schermzen.

God is good!
i leave the 16th, next wednesday, for the States.
i feel called to come back to Berlin.. so i will go back to visit my family, friends, pay off debt from school (college), weiter deutsch lernen, study the history of berlin and germany and seek long term supporters to continue missions with.

i have seen God provide in so many ways and look forward to seeing more. He is faithful!

thank you for all of the prayers and i ask that you would continue.
as i enter into this new season with God and all of you... i don't doubt that it will be filled with new faith stretchers.. and prayer is a must, from both ends.

Father, thank You for taking care of us. thank You for this beautiful time in my life, and all You have started in us. please don't give up on me. keep taking me further with You and teach me Your ways. Du bist gut.. und ich vertraue dir!
i believe You have awesome plans for berlin and deutschland. plans for good... and to bring europe to You. please make us part of Your plan. show us things that may be keeping us from going further and shine Your light in us... darkness be gone in Jesus name! Ich bete für Wahrheit und Licht. Komm mit deiner Liebe nach Berlin. Wie groß bist du... nix ist größer. Schein mit deinem Licht über Berlin. Danke Vater für dein Opfer. Danke für Jesus!
In His mighty name, Amen!

i look forward to seeing all of you... and may He bless You.. continually and forever.

remember to change your contact lenses.


viel Liebe, israel

fertig... und ich glaube!

i am back in an internet café where i have written past blogs at the start of this outreach.
i can´t say i expected this outreach to be the way it was.. or to end so quickly... but i can say that i would like more. more out of comfort living. more building relationships with strangers through Christ. more laughs with friends from around the world. More God!

the school fees are now officially paid off. it happened about a week ago. i was informed that glorious news and have seen God´s faithfullness in countless ways.

i believe many blogs ago i wrote about an adorable lady named Dorothy. she had mentioned that she loves God and knows He is good... and then she said, "I´ve seen Him answer too many prayers for me now to believe."

....i have seen Him answer too many prayers for me not to believe that He is good!

God is good.

we fly out tomorrow back to berlin.

thank you all so much for the prayers. they are restoring strength to my heart and soul and always needed.
i hope that you all join me in this next season of my life as i return to pay off school loans.
and i encourage you to continue to seek Christ in your life... He has a plan for all of us. Jer. 29:11

Father... oh You are so good. please strengthen those who read this. shine bright in their lives and may Your love forever reign in their choices.
thank You for being... You.
You are more than enough. and may i live this truth out everyday.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica are Yours and thank You for making us part of Your plan.
thank You Jesus.
it´s with the authority of His blood that we claim these things. so be it!

much love to all... and i look forward to seeing and hearing about what God has been doing in Your lives too.

i have enjoyed not wearing socks lately..(random joy)

much love, israel
