The Streets of Tel Aviv
December 22, 2009
In Tel Aviv, everything is a picture.
Because all of our days in Tel Aviv were spent doing the same things, I thought I would categorize the next few blogs by what we did within those days. We spent at least an hour a day walking the streets of Tel Aviv, so let me introduce you to just that:
During the street walking, I was hand selected by two able men as a “color assistant” for a few murals we were painting at Calvary Chapel Tel Aviv. After many taxi rides, some more walking, three hardware stores and three hours, we finally found what we needed. All this to say, these are my pictures:
Lovely sales lady
One of the more honorable pictures I have ever been in
Besides the wacky pictures produced through this journey, I mention all of this because that day a miracle occurred. While we were off, goofing around and I was bonding with my leaders- an eager wife with big news was waiting for her husband Devin to return to CCTA. A couple months before we left for Israel, Devin an Ali were told they are infertile. After six years of trying the news was devastating. Ali felt the Lord prompting her to share all of this terrible news with the class and to simply be vulnerable for He was at work. So she did, with updates, details, everything. It was no surprise that when we returned and Ali was finally able to tell Devin about the miraculous news- that our whole team simultaneously erupted in utter celebration. Ali Kaun is pregnant!
