Diaspora Harvest!

Our friends the Bellas just got back from Israel! (Here they are with jetlag!) They have been in our life group from the start the last year and a half and also in my homeschooling bunch. (Steve has been calling us the "Bomb Moms" as we meet to teach our kids and pray once a week and do warfare against the enemy.) Una is Israeli and her husband Leonardo is a NY messianic jew and they have lived in the US for the past 16 years. They and their six children have become dear to us as we have gotten in to eachother's lives. They have amazing conversions to Yeshua-Una's was nothing short of supernatural-seeing visions of Jesus, etc. God miraculously provided from them to take a long-awaited trip home to Israel back on Yom Kippur. They arrived stateside this week and came to Life Group Saturday night to tell us they were moving back to Jerusalem! We feel so sad that we will have to say goodbye to them so soon, and yet it is exciting to see God's beautiful plan carried out in them-sending them out from the land, bringing them to saving faith in Yeshua, and then calling them back again. It has been such a privilege to get to know messianic jews that love Jesus so much, love their people and remain very jewish. We know that God will use them in amazing ways in Israel to share Yeshua's love with their friends and families. And we're glad we'll have friends to stay with when the time draws near to Yeshua's return!
