“The first time I ever went to Israel was in 1981. It was my first time to fly or even leave the United States. My Mother went home to Jesus suddenly and a friend invited me to go to Jerusalem with her. I felt at home in Jerusalem. My love for Israel began the moment I set foot on Israel’s soil. I have been to Israel eight times since and must return, hopefully next year. A love for Israel is buried deep in my blood. It is Yahweh, my Husband and Lover of my soul, drawing me to His hometown, Jerusalem.  Talking about Israel and my love for the Jewish people seems as natural to me as breathing. Every Tuesday, in the middle of our Jerusalem Connection offices, Marilyn Levar and I sound our shofars and bring forth a surprising anointed harmony that is so wonderful.”
