We gathered as a community to rejoice in Marianna's first visit in almost three years! It was so good to see her. And also to hear her reflect on her experience of living in Israel during the pandemic, and how the Lord has taught her to respond as a leader when so many forces are conspiring to create hostility between followers of Yeshua in Israel. Teaching given at Christ the Reconciler in Elgin TX on 5 November 2021.
