Dear partners on our journey.
In the past year and a half, since the war began, almost no tourists have come to Israel, and the same goes for our farm. This is certainly a significant blow to the farm's sources of income, but even worse, I really miss the foreign tourists, both Christians and Jews. The love, the support, and the sense of partnership.
So if our loyal partners don't come to us, I want to reach them. I have a fascinating lecture about our farm, the vision, and especially about myrrh and frankincense. I really want to go on a lecture tour, in the United States (and maybe in other places), among churches, synagogues, community centers, or any other place where there is a public who wants to listen and get a little taste (and maybe even a smell) of the Holy Land.
To make this happen, I need someone with good connections in the Christian and/or Jewish communities that love Israel and perhaps someone with production skills to coordinate a schedule and route that will go through as many relevant communities as possible.
And if not the full package, I'm looking for links to communities of Jews and Christians who love Israel with whom I could perhaps coordinate a lecture for their community.
I think it might be worth starting with a two-week trip and if there is demand, we could do another such tour. I was thinking of starting in the states of California and Texas, but that's still open and it all depends on demand.
Can you help me and direct me to the right person? I would also love to hear what you think about this direction? And does anyone have any other ideas on how to proceed?
With thanks in advance and appreciation
