This fan drawing is supposed to be the East Gate, with a heart opening

Beautiful view of Jerusalem, with the East Gate, taken from the Mt. of Olives.   

Lift up your heads, O gates,
and lift them up, you everlasting doors:
that the King of glory may come in.
"Who is this King of glory?"
ADONAI-Tzva'ot!!--He is the King of glory!
Selah 
Psalm 24:10 

The Whole World is full of His Glory!!

God knows our hearts.  He had me keep aside about 50 "Shalom Fans" out of the 500 (1st Edition!) that I gave out last summer,  to bring to Israel this past spring.  I was thankful to be able to share them on the tour and in Israel.  Thankful to the God of Israel, who put them in my heart and in my hand. He so knew my heart to bring them along and  wave them over His Land!!!

This summer came and I went ahead and had another edition (2nd Edition!)  of 500 "Shalom Fans"  printed.  Its good to have Shalom fans to hand out in summer in Japan.

Before the summer finishes, I am making these fans of various designs,  to show in a little one day exhibit and workshop at a nearby community center.  It will be a workshop where people can make their own "Shalom fans", combining drawing and origami paper. 

In Japan many people don't know much at all about Israel, and even less about the God of Israel.  In every fan, I pray will be a new encounter with Him and a new curiosity will arise in the hearts of the people in Japan to know Him, and that He will reveal himself in new and beautiful ways and multiply His Shalom over all!!

L'Dor V'dor Tour, Entrance to the City of David

I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, my God.  I will sing praise to You with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

Psalm 71:22

Dear friends, I just came back to Japan after a tour of Israel!  It was a prayer come true, to go to the land of our Messiah Yeshua and to see the place that God is so zealous for, Zion!! It was a worship tour led by father-daughter singing team of Marty and Misha Goetz, and family.  The trip went from Jerusalem to the Galilee, all the way up to the northern border, and back down to Tel Aviv.  There was worship all the way, with songs they sang on the land or on the bus, songs on the sea, and hearts of prayer in unity in Messiah as we walked the streets of the old and new cities.   

Just opening back up after a brief absence from the blog with this picture of the harp at the entrance to the City of David.  I am sorry for my slipping out and going without  notice, but as I have been planning to go other times but had false starts and didn't make it---I felt in my heart best to just make sure I got there and back this time.  And as you can see from this picture and Praise, I am full of thanks to the LORD for the wonderful chance to make it this time and visit His Holy Land!!

I will share some of the trip and my journey in some posts to follow !

The trip for 2020 is already open for registration, so if these posts make you want to go, I highly recommend it and you can find the details at Marty Goetz's site HERE.

Hope all have been well and I look forward to visiting you and catching up.

God Bless you.

Love and blessings,

PS I saw lots of sparrows (as we were speaking of sparrows before I signed off)!
God showed me sparrows at every site we visited, starting with the song of sparrows from outside the hotel window the first Jerusalem morning.
