We are back home in Israel. It was 45 days of travel and teaching just about every single day somewhere between California, Georgia, Tennessee in the United States, and in Brazil in Recife, Vitoria, Belo-Horizonte, and Curitiba. The trip back was very long because we actually were on the way for 44 hours total, but we are finally at home and had a good rest last night and are almost back to regular activities.

We have some big concerns that need your prayers urgently:

1. We have a very young baby (two months old) that according to the doctors needs a complicated heart surgery. Please lift baby N before the Lord! God is merciful to all we especially ask him to save and bless this innocent baby and heal her and give here a normal childhood and become a useful and contributing citizen of Israel and of the Kingdom of God in this country. The surgery is scheduled for this next Sunday in Jerusalem. Please don't forget to pray for this baby and for the family and for the doctors to be wise and skillful and see this family through this ordeal with God's help.

Shalom in the post carnival Brazil,

Belo-Horizonte is a city of several million inhabitants, and thirty years ago the evangelical community in this city decided to fight the carnival and they stopped it from polluting their city. The real carnival is not what you see on Television with the beautiful floats and wonderful music, and the bare women dancing the samba. I understand from the Brazilian brothers and sisters that the real carnival goes on in the nightclubs and dark drinking joints of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador and Recife, and the other major cities that have this Catolo – Pagan feast of the flesh. So, here you have it if the Disciples of Yeshua come together they can stop THE WORLD from doing pupu on their doorsteps. The streets of Belo-Horizonte were empty

We arrived in Brazil last week and we started from the city of Recife in the North. It was wonderful to be with brothers and sisters and meet new people who are committed to the Restoration of the First Century Church. In fact tonight I shall be speaking in the city of Vitoria in a Baptist church where the preacher is very interested in the restoration. I have spoken in this church already several times and the preacher has attended all my lectures in Vitoria. It is really interesting to see how many people are really attracted to the idea that we desire to see the church today be like the church that we read about in the New Testament. This is not a new idea but the normal paradigm of progress in the whole Bible. The best progress is the one that is based on the beginning
