Writing and Shevet Achim

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, my oldest son, Ethan, left June 23 for Israel to work at Shevet Achim. It is a faith based organization which provides heart operations for children from mostly Arab countries around Israel. These children would die without the operation. Ethan is their new office manager and finance director. The founder of Shevet Achim, Jonathan Miles, came to Montrose and spoke at our E Free Church this past Sunday in SS and church. Afterwards we had a chance to speak with him for around two hours. That was a special blessing.

Then my sister and her husband came for a visit. They had not been here in about 15 years so that was very special. Now my husband and I are getting ready to go to TN for his class reunion and will be away for four days. When we return the director of Seeds of Abraham, Tom Bradford and his wife, Becky, will be at the Bible conference for four days and then at our house for four days. They are our friends from Florida and Ethan has written four articles for Tom's Torahclass.com website. Hopefully he will have opportunity to write many more. As for me, I may not be getting a lot of writing done but I am gaining a great deal of blessing from the special way the Lord is ordering my summer. It was so special to have Jonathan Miles right here in our local church and small town before he returns to Cairo, Egypt for the year. And now I'm looking forward to some in depth Old Testament Bible teaching when Tom Bradford is here! Maybe I'm inculcating a lot of knowledge that will make me a better writer in the future.
