A Dream Come True!

"Dream BIG!" I often tell my children.  I will soon be living MY dream to travel to where Jesus walked on this earth, loved people and performed miracles!  I am so excited to be taking part in an international intercessory prayer journey to Israel!  Ray and Renaid Almgren from my church, Petra International Ministries are leading a group of prayer warriors to a major prayer event called, "The Nazareth Cry - The Spirit and Bride Say Come."  Nazareth rejected Jesus when He walked the earth, but now, from Nazareth a cry will go up to the Lord to welcome Him back to His hometown.  People from all over the world will be attending this event!

Unlike typical sightseeing tours, the plan for this trip is to visit specific sites (see itinerary below) and intercede. Included in these sites will be the altars of Abraham. There have been prophetic words that God will raise up houses of prayer at each of these altars. Our hearts are to release prayers that will help birth these houses of prayer.


We will also go to the Wailing (Western) Wall in Jerusalem, along with many more historic and strategic places.  Please let me know of any prayer requests you would like for me to take to insert into the Western Wall.  We will spend four nights in Nazareth and four nights in Jerusalem. Our journey will put us in Israel during Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles this September (we depart Pittsburgh on the 17th). We know the timing is strategic and may be more significant for Pittsburgh and America than we realize. 

Our desire is that you would all be a part of what we are doing by covering all of us in prayer. Jerusalem is the spiritual center of the world and there is much warfare there. Thank you for praying with us!
