For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

L'ma'an Tzion lo echesheh. U'l'ma'an Yerushalayim lo eshkot. Ad yetzi ka no ga tzidkah. Lo echesheh.

למען ציון לא אחשׁה ולמען ירושׁלם לא אשׁקוט עד יצא כנגה צדקה וישׁועתה כלפיד יבער

Isaiah 62:1

The Time Has Arrived! ... by Tommy

Ever since my family and I returned to the states from Israel, our number one desire has been to go back to Israel. Our heart longs for the day that we are called back to the Land.

It is with great joy that I announce to you, that Hannah and I (Tommy) will be returning to the Land this coming May. While it saddens us that our whole family will not be able to go together, we know that this is the Father's plan for now.
We will be gone for about six weeks. In that time, we will be volunteering for approximately four weeks with some friends in the Negev, the desert. The rest of the time will be spent in traveling around the country and visiting friends in the different places ... along with making new friends.

This will be a totally new adventure for Hannah and me. We are very thankful to our wonderful parents for giving their blessing in this trip. I know that it is hard for them, to let their number one and number two children go thousands of miles away. Thank you Abba and Ima.

I reckon that is all for now, we will try to use this blog to update people on what is going on while we are there. Maybe even share some pics and videos.
Shalom until next time,

T for the two of us

  1. Hey Thomas!!!

    Well, I will be praying for you guys as you go.

    May the King of kings bless you with His spirit and keep your eyes set on His glory!

    So... when is the exact departure date again? And can the folks you will be staying with in the negev speak english? Can you guys speak enough hebrew to get by?

    For the King,
    Caleb

  2. Alright Bro,
    I've told you twice when we leave, and if you could read, you could see on the blog when we leave. But for you my friend.... We leave USA May 8th and get to Israel May 10th.
    Yes the people speak english, the lady is from South Africa. Hannah can probably speak enough hebrew to get by, I need to do some brushing up.
    Good to hear from you,

    For the King,
    For Israel,
    And for the South.
    Tommy
