Our 1st ever Zone Israel trip, where we have DARE, Arrow & GenRev going, is happening at the end of the year. What a way to end off this awesome year, by seeing the bible come to life, experiencing Him like never before and blessing Israel! Check out testimonies from the past Israel trip in 2009, like this one - of how the Lord faithfully, graciously and stylishly provides for those who want to go Israel! =)

I always had the desire to go to Israel. My aunt would come back from Israel with many photos and testimonies, making me want to go there even more. To walk where Jesus walked and to see the Bible come alive.
I was sure that going to Israel would definitely be a life changing experience and a worthwhile investment. At first, my parents did not allow me to go on this trip because Israel is very far from Singapore, and the cost was not cheap. I tried to persuade them but it did not work. Only God could drop a revelation into my parents’ hearts about going to Israel. So, I prayed that if it was my time and season to go to Israel, God will make a way for me.
On the day to pay for the down payment for the Israel trip, even though things seemed bleak, I still prayed that I could go and God would make it happen. In the car, my mom took out her cheque book and asked who she should write the cheque to. This was unexpected and definitely supernatural! I did not do anything but pray and trust Daddy God. This was not deserved at all! And this was only the beginning of more good things to come.
A few weeks before the trip, my mom told me that my cousin decided to fully sponsor my trip to Israel! The amazing thing is that she is not even a believer. God really works in ways that we never expect. In addition, my aunts even gave me money for my expenses! Even before going to Israel, I was already so blessed with God’s undeserved and unmerited favour, how much more will I receive upon stepping into Israel! My trip was absolutely all paid for! Isn’t that so awesome?
In Israel, it was without a doubt that I experienced God like never before. He filled me with such an overflow of His love. I definitely know He is real and watching over me like how He watches over Israel. I am truly convinced to put my trust in Him 100 per cent and just rest, letting Daddy God take over and direct my steps. It is only when we are still and rested that He can work in us. And when He works, the results are so much better. This was something that I had caught in the trip. Whatever God has said and promised will come to pass. After all, He is our God. I definitely came back with a love for Israel and on fire to know more about Jesus.
I’m next!
