Amish Laker Fan in Berlin Ohio

A glance back to the hike!

I'd be ready for another in the Jordan River!  Blessed be the Lord our God for he hath gotten us the victory through Jesus Christ his son!

Interesting Reading

Last week I was studying in Acts 17 and came across some interesting findings about the early church.  After reading I decided to search the idols of Athens on the internet.  I found some interesting websites. The first shocker was the idol named Nike, the goddess of victory.

 Also remember when RVL was telling us about the plagues of Egypt and that every on was to show their gods that He alone is God.  Here is a nice piece of reading about it.

Trying this blog again

I have been having issues trying to paste a video clip on here for several month. I will keep trying! RVL send me an email with the opportunity to have people from church go to Israek in September. I was able to recruit 8 people and wish I was number 9!

All is well at the Weaver home. God has been so merciful to allow me to be tried in the fire this spring. I praise him for keeping his hand on me!

City Gates video

Leaving Chicago with a group of believers eager to learn more about our wonderful Messiah. We arrive in Amman Jordan and change planes and head back over to Israel. We get a few winks of sleep and off to the hike. Day one we visited this tel and we heard a teaching on city gates.

wooooow

I suddenly realized I haven't updated in 2 month. SORRY, video coming up! Been blessed with Paul's writing to the Romans in chapter 9 verses 15-17. God wants to show himself strong! Keep seeking the mercy of God!

RVL in Sugarcreek Ohio

Every session was packed with people. Thursday evening we had around 930 in attendance. Friday evening we had around 1050. We had seating for around 700 in the main auditorium we set up video feed into another room for around 230 people plus the main foyer had over 100 people.

On Saturday morning in a rainstorm we had people at the outside door waiting to get in 2 hours before the service started. At eight o'clock we opened the door and these pictures were taken once they got into the building. On Saturday we fed around 800 people lunch in a large tent on the outside.

Many people traveled from afar to hear from the Word of God! The states represented are California, Montana, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and all over Ohio! God blessed us so richly with all these brothers and sisters. The lessons were so vividly imprinted into our hearts!

RVL in Sugarcreek Ohio

It's been over a year since we we walked and learned from RVL and now the doors opened in Sugarcreek for us all to ones again hear him teach us from the Bible. On Thursday evening we had around 950 people. I hope to put some video of this event on youtube next week. Check back!

We had a tremendous response from the community. I almost didn't get the ushers there in time as people were coming already an hour before the event started on Thursday evening.

Pictures of the Israelites!

Day 12 Jerusalem

Last day scenes of Jerusalem! Mt of Olives, Eastern gate, Garden of Gethsemane. What great memories!!

Day 11 Jerusalem

I don't think anybody in our group will ever forget our first day in the city on the beginning of the Sabbath!

Day 11

This morning we moved to Jerusalem. We hiked to the top of Mt Carmel to find out the bus wasn't there to pick us up. We hiked back down. Elijah must have been pretty well built. My knee still hurts today from that trek. We left this area and stopped by to visit these nice gardens before we ended up in Jerusalem. These olive trees may have been there back in Jesus time.

Day 10 Continued.........

This day has been so packed full. From an unplanned stop by the hillside to have a lesson on the sower and continued to the threshing floor, the nice fields of boundaries and then to the stone quarry. We stopped for a session at the winepress and had the girls dance. That was special!! We had a lesson under the trees but can't recall the lesson. Next we visited another one of Herod's buildings.

We left this place and headed to Capernaum and visited the place were Jesus lived. We walked up the hill by the groves of bananas. What else am I missing for this power packed day??

One Year Anniversary!

A year ago this was us! We were in Chicago heading to Israel for a wonderful study trip to the land of the Bible. These pictures came from Terry, Spencer, Levi and Anne!

Day 10 Continued.........

After the sower, the thrashing floor we got to the possible (carpenters shop) new thought on the work traits of our Messiah!
