After the women conference in Omer in October 2007 we felt that one meeting a year isn't enough for the developement of relationships. Therefore we traveled in February to Israel, so we could visit some of the women and their families.

The first two days we stayed by Boskey family in Omer. We had a tour to Tel Arad with Boskeys and other sisters and brothers. At the evening we drove with Rachel and her assistance Marianne to Netanya where David Loden, a messianic worship leader, had a concert. There we met different messianic Jews and had nice conversations.

On the following day we met Jolanda and Avishay in Kadesh Barnea, Melanie and Revital Shalom in Kemahin and Hirshfelds in Ezuz. With Jolanda and Avishay we had a great time of prayer and worship and we could see the improvement of the accommodations. We had a deeply exchange with Melanie and Revital. Avigail and her family were well, despite the fact that Eyal hasn't for weeks any work based on the situation in Gazah. The afternoon and evening we spend with Karen Maayan, Mary and Kelly in Sde Boker. Mary and Kelly are from Africa and studying at the Ben Gurion College. We had a great time of conversations and prayer. The women had prepared a great meal - we felt that we have a good solid relationship already.

The next day we spent with Liora, a Norwegian-American Jew, who we met two years ago by the first women meeting. Her family denied there Jewish roots and just after long research she could proof her Jewish parentage. She loves Yeshua but her husband forbids her to visit any Christian church.

We had a happy reunion with Arni and Yonit Klein in Nes Harim. We are very moved by their vision for Israel and Germany.

In the North we met Petra, a German Christian, who is living with her Jewish husband for more than 20 years in a Kibbutz near Haifa. Later on we drove to Kfar Blum in the Hula valley to visit Stefanie born Bamberger from Leipzig and her daughter Zahava. Zahava is suffering several years from cancer and we could pray for her.

The last days we spent with our friend Avishay and Chava in Haifa and Ruth in Tivon.

We saw that we can encourage and strengthen the belief in Yeshua just by visiting. Furthermore we could give messianic believers in a problematic financial situation a donation of Christian from Leipzig.
