You just have to bring yourself

I was pleasantly surprised to find this email waiting in my mail box when I opened it the night I got home from Cebu…

Dear Angeline,

Mary* & I are going for the Holy Land trip in Nov 2008 organised by Bethesda Frankel Estate Church.

Are you going, or are you interested in going? It will be good if we can have your fellowship during this trip.

Call me and we can discuss about the trip.

Dear Angeline,

The trip to Jordan, Israel and Istanbul is confirmed. The confirmed dates are 14 to 25 Nov 2008, a total of 12 days. A deposit is required by the end of next week. Please confirm whether you can make it, so that I can confirm your place by putting a deposit.

I had already put your name in the list, trusting that you can go. I will sponsor your whole trip, including airport taxes. You just have to bring yourself, and Mary* and I will love to have your company. You can share the room with another lady who is travelling alone, or do you have someone you know who is going and is willing to share a room with you?

I remembered attending a course by you a few years ago at the Navigators building about Walking through the Bible, and this will be meaningful for all of us.

Please do not thank us but take this as a gift from God (who has more than provided for all our needs). We do not intend to tell anyone about our sponsorship, as it is not us who is making this trip possible, but our Loving Father.

Joseph

Dear Mary* and Joseph* ,

I am so touched that the Lord has made a way possible to visit Israel. I look forward to fellowship with you and to see the places I read about in the Bible. Certainly, it will make the Walk Thru’ come even more alive. Again, thanks for allowing the Lord to use you to bless me.

Gratefully,
Angeline

Yippee! Israel, Jordan & Istanbul here I come…

* Mary and Joseph would like to remain anonymous. They participated a Walk Thru’ the Bible seminar which I taught some years ago.

Wunderbar Cebu!

Here are two more videos of Cebu. Our German teacher friend Ruth flew in from Thailand to join us.
