GLOBAL PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD
Ben and Celeste Mills – Israel
We praise God that Nate and Becca arrived safely in Israel. In answer to our prayers, God provided a car, home and job! They are living just outside of Jerusalem and Nate has been hired by a drone company based in Israel but operating in Texas! As a native English speaker with flight experience and familiarity with Dallas, the company was eager to hire him.
Eleesha also got a job! She is working in a hotel kitchen located on Kibbutz Ma’agan where we first lived and ministered when we came to Israel. It feels as if we’ve come full circle. After pouring our lives into that community for almost ten years, it means so much that they are giving Eleesha an opportunity to work there.
Yoel was inducted into the Israeli air force on Aug. 25th. He is now in basic training and will soon be assigned to a base. We continue to pray that the Lord will prepare the perfect place for him to serve along with a good unit of soldiers.
Praise God that our kindergarten license was renewed for another year! The homeschool co-op is also up and running. Please pray that the parents who have applied for homeschooling will receive permission and that none of our school’s past legal battles will create hindrances for them.
Celeste just completed running a retreat for the worship team and a seminar on end of life planning for the elderly in our community. Both events were well received, and we look forward to good fruit to come from these events. As the members of our home group age, the elderly are a new ministry focus for us. While the Lord gives us strength, we want to continue to minister to the full range of His Body from children to seniors!
