Today we went into the city of Jerusalem strating with the Knessett where we prayed for the government and also for the prime minister and key decision makers in Israel. we asked for wisdom strength and resolve.

Onto the old city area we went to the garden tomb, no one is sure if it is the place of the ressurection or not but it is a good place to go and remember what the Lord has done. We prayed and took communion together.

Because Jerusalem is filled with pilgrims & tourisits right now most of the gates into the old city are tightly controled so we went in through the Damascus gate and after lunch there we went too the Pavement level down some 25 metres from the levels today where we stood on the street out side the place Jesus was whiped and beaten. We prayed here for a time then went onto the area where the baths of Bethsheda are still intact ruins. we ended our time in the old city doing some shopping.

The highlight of my day was having a few hours at the hotel with Rachael Roth and her family a Holocust survior from Poland. she was 16 when the liberation came. she still has an almost unquenchable spirit. what an amazing woman. during the evening I got to blow the Shofar with a group of Yeminite Jews who were drumming and blowing the shofars. what a day

Today after old city tour of the Kotel we head for the desert and beersheva for our ANZAC celebrations
