Shalom Zealous!
Just thought you might like to see what we got up to on Saturday night (13 February)!
As well as planning a few things for our Israel/Zealous8:2 presentations at church in the upcoming weekends after the Zealous tour we went on this past January, we got together with a few Israeli flavours to create our very own...

You may not be able to taste-test, but what do you think, guys? We did pretty good, right?!
The hummus made me ‘homesick’...
God bless,

My experience on the January Zealous Tour was amazing. It was a humbling experience for me because I had the opportunity to go again. My first experience with Zealous was June 2008. Life after
The tour simply brought the bible to life. Scriptures jump off the pages of the bible and becomes more realistic. But with the visual comes great understanding and comprehension of who God really is and the purpose and plan he has for our lives. It gave me a better understanding of who Jesus was and what he came to earth to accomplish. The history of this land is simply amazing. It baffles me even more that people don’t believe and that they have hardened their hearts so much to something so precious. The people you meet and the friendships you make are just icing on the cake and a cherry on top. Time with God is priceless.
The site that touched me the most was House of Caiaphas. Since the beginning of the day my heart was stirring. I knew instantly that God was moving. And he was moving in my heart. He touched me this day. Tears constantly ran down my face. To be in that jail where my beloved was on trial and beaten, battered and bruised and the dungeon where they kept him was an overwhelming feeling. As humans at times we can’t understand what LOVE is. Love has been contorted and twisted because of our human faults but the Love of Christ is perfect. Jesus could have called down an army of Angels but he didn’t. He could have freed himself from the hand of enemies but he refused. WHY?! Because he loved us so much and he still does. This location brought to life John 3:16 even more. For God so loved (you and I) the world that he gave his one and only son (Jesus) that whoever believes in him (accepts him) will not perish (die) but have ever lasting life. I can’t fathom why he would take the burden upon himself. But he did. We don’t deserve it and I know I certainly haven’t earned it!
One thing I absolutely love about the Zealous Tour is that there are many different nations represented. We are all different and all unique but we serve the same God. During our devotions we sang the same songs. And we simply go through the same struggles. We tend to think that our God is limited and that he is a God of the Australians, or the Americans or the South Africans and even just
I encourage all those who seek to spend time with God! Come to his land. Meet his people. Have communion with him. It is life changing and something you simply just can’t read about. Let his life and words become reality as you visit and join Zealous on a tour. God has given great wisdom to the leaders of this ministry and especially our tour guide. It is safe to open your hearts and mind. Come without expectations so the Lord can go deeper with you. You will never be the same. But don’t just take my word for it. But if it means anything this was my second time going. If God invites you obey. Don’t worry about funds and other necessities. The Lord will provide!
