Israel - is not just a place from long ago or a battle ground today, it is an example.
One of my complete joys is to travel to the land where Jesus walked,
and taught,
and healed,
and laughed!
Â
Yes, I know Jesus laughed. đ
Think about it - who would want to follow a grouch!
Â
Since Jesus IS love he would attract attention. Just being who he is would invite people to get to know him.â¤ď¸
Â
Going to Israel and sharing with a team of people who are visiting for the first time and seeing the wonders of God's Word is such a blessing. In fact we have created a waiting list for those who want to travel with us next year. (please reply and say 'Add me to the list')
Together we study, laugh and enjoy. AND we also get to savor the flavors of Israel since that is my cherry on the top! đIn fact the picture above is of me in Israel with a pomegranate tree - YUM!
Â
Today I want to share a newsletter from one of the organizations where we built a 7 Foods Prayer Garden. In this newsletter XXX shares how they are praying their neighborhood.
After you read this ask yourself and your family;Â "How can we pray for our neighborhood?"
Â
As your personal nutritionist, life is not just food, it is our beliefs. For me to encourage your health I also need to encourage your prayer life.
Â
As I have shared:đ
Just as we are physical we are spiritual,Â
Just as we are spiritual we are physical.
Â
For complete cellular healing - our prayer life matters!
Remember - your cells respond immediately to prayer!
Your cells respond to your beliefs!đ
Â
Here is the newsletter - be blessedÂ

About a year ago, the Lord gave the XXX  XXX Center a task. Instead of being a XXX Center on ____ Road, God said we were to become the center of prayer for ____ Road. What seems like semantics, has affected our work in our small community. Each morning, our staff prayer time has taken on real focus as we pray for the salvation of those around
us.Â
- On Monday, we pray for all the businesses and
shops. Street Venders, restaurants and gas stations, the bank, barber, and hardware store are among the dozens and dozens of businesses that are remembered to the Lord. We ask Godâs blessing on them and that he would soften the hearts of those who work within.
- On Tuesday, we pray for all the educational
programs. The preschool, elementary schools, high school, seminary, secretarial school, and language programs are lifted, along with the entrepreneurship hub.
- On Wednesday, we lift to Godâs throne, all the lodging on
XXX Road. Many hotels, pilgrim guesthouses and hostels are found in our area.
- On Thursday, every place of worship is lifted. Our
surrounding community is home to places of worship of many faiths and creeds. We pray for the salvation of all those within, and Godâs blessing on all those focused on sharing the gospel.
- On Friday, our prayer time focuses on the government
entities that are in our area.
- On Saturday, we pray for all those who make XXXÂ
road their home, living in homes are apartments tucked throughout the street.
- And Sunday rounds us off with all of us praying for the
XXX, itself.
Throughout the week, as staff are out in the community we try and personalize the effort. Our format is simple. Cards with photographs help us remember each place. When buying something or stopping by a hotel or school, we let them know they are prayed for. When someone expresses a concern about something, we write it on a sticky note and mount it to their card, adding those details to our prayers when that card is lifted. We feel God is moving in
the community around us and that He has given us a role to lay the foundation for that move, through our prayers.
