Israel trip by Maria Hoffmann in March

My flight from Berlin to Israel was supposed to leave on March 13, but was delayed by two days due to a strike. The weather was cool and rainy when I arrived, but I received a warm welcome from our Stern family. I had contact with Boskeys, Gliks and other Messianic brothers and sisters in the Negev Desert. Two days later, I traveled north to Avishay and Chava Golz. Their house became a meeting place for me with other friends: Miri and Meni Dror and Ruth Laps, to name just a few. It is precious to experience how relationships that have grown over the years begin to bear fruit. The great unrest in Israel opened hearts and made it possible for me to pray for Israel together with Avishay and Chava every morning. Jews and Christians turned to the one God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. A great deal of time was also spent preparing for the women's tour in the fall of 2023. Visiting the “open house” in the village where our daughter lives made a lasting impression on me. I was able to experience hospitality in the truest sense of the word and pass on Yeshua's love in a few conversations with the residents.
