Shalom shalom....
Just wanted to send a quick update. We arrived at Tel Aviv airport late Tuesday night.. We were escorted to our hostel by our friend, who had so graciously arranged a ride from the airport for us. This was a huge blessing! We were able to get a pretty good deal at Mugraby's hostel (which is located directly across the street from CC Tel Aviv). Our friend lives just a block away and he has been so great...showing us the town and introducing us to many believers here. This past Thursday we served at the soup kitchen at CC Tel Aviv....it was Paul's first time and he did great! I have a feeling that our Hebrew will be improving fast out of necessity! haha The SEND team is here staying in Jerusalem, we got to hang out a little bit with them yesterday; it was really great to see them again. It just so happens that they are leaving to go on their visa trip next week and have offered us their apartment for the whole week! So Paul and I are planning to go up to Jerusalem and see some stuff there! We are super excited!

The Lord has been so faithful and so good to us already...we can’t wait to see what is in store for this season here in Israel!

There are a few things we would love prayer for: 1) that the Lord would provide us an apartment that would be affordable. 2) That the Lord would give us wisdom and discernment. 3) That our tongues would be loosed and that we would be able to comprehend and speak Hebrew!


Thank you all for all your prayers and support! May you all have a blessed week!

Israel October-December

Becca and I recently spent a weekend retreat at Head Waters Lodge (in south-western Virginia) praying for Israel, her people and for God's leading. After this trip we have a greater confidence and confirmation from the Lord about going forward with plans for Tel Aviv. There have been certain events in the last few months that have kept us from going earlier. One such event was the passing of my grandfather and a wedding of a close friend. We just got back from our trips and are making some concrete plans for our departure to Israel.

Becca's new passport is going to be expedited on Monday with her new name.
"Becca Kaleda Ainslie"! and we are purchasing tickets to Tel Aviv for the third week of October. Our return flights will be at Christmas.

Please pray for us as we travel. If anyone desires to be added to our email update loop or to help support us in a financial way please email me for more information at: ainslie.paul@gmail.com

Shalom=Peace

Tel-Aviv Israel

God has given us an opportunity to serve along side with a congregation in Tel-Aviv Israel. We are continuing to pray and seek wisdom from the Lord. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but we trust the Lord that He is going to provide and give us clear direction. Israel has been on our hearts since December. During these last few months we have continued to pray and are convinced this is where the Lord desires us to go.

Becca lived in Israel for 5 months during her third semester of Bible College. She has seen the needs in this country, she has seen how desperate these people are for the love of God. We desire that the Jewish people and all those who call Israel home would be introduced to their Messiah.

Please join us in praying for these people, and for God to continue to open doors for us,
Shalom~
