Three Israeli ladies I had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with. ~Matt. 9:36-38

😊

The door to my room in Rishikesh. Unfortunately, not named after the apostle Paul, but Paul McCartney of the Beatles. The Beatles showed up here in 1968. I believe in their practice here of transcendental meditation, they opened their minds to demonic influence.

...all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD’S and He will give you into our hands.” ~1 Sam. 17:47

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands... ~1 Sam. 17:45-46

And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.” ~1 Sam. 17:37

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” ~1 Sam. 16:7

The initial launch of the i-phone.

Always a joy to fellowship with brothers and sisters in India.

It must be terrifying to read the words. "Do not touch!" in Braille. 🙂

“For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry. ~1 Sam. 15:23a

Samuel said, “Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. ~1 Sam. 15:22

Now for some chicken momos! Yum!

Enjoying some buff (water buffalo) Tibetan Thukpa, a soup made with noodles, vegetables, and meat. So good!😋

I came to the city of Dehradun for the weekend. Usually I need a bit of a weekly break, and fellowship with other believers. Thought I'd check out this little Tibetan restaurant. Loving the foliage from the rooftop seating area.🙂

Only fear the LORD and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. ~1 Sam. 12:24

For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the LORD has been pleased to make you a people for Himself. 1 Sam. 12:22

I've found myself memorizing Deut. 6:4 in Hebrew. Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. I've found it helpful as I converse with Israelis who have come to a place where pretty much anything and anyone can be God.

Please pray for a fella named Gal from Israel. Had a lengthy conversation with him today. I was able to give him the Gospel. He is a hurting man. Please pray his eyes will soon be opened to the truth. These moments are the ones that make this trip worthwhile for me.

I just feel the strong need for immediate prayer for a young Israeli couple I spent time with this evening. I apologize, but I cannot remember their names. I was moved to tears during our conversation as I sensed a genuine urgency over there their souls.
