Italy

Dear saints,

We just returned from a wonderful weekend in Israel, where the saints took the first Lord's table in a town near Tel Aviv called Holon. There are about 8 Russian speaking saints there. They were joined by about 20 saints from Haifa and about 25 more visiting saints from abroad. It really was a grace to us to be able to go. We were strengthened and encouraged by the fellowship and blending with all the dear ones there.

Concerning our having ministry books in Italian, yesterday, Dale had a meeting with a lawyer to begin the process of setting up a company for literature distribution. It seems to be a simple process and we pray this is so. Daniel is still working on our mailing database and there should be abundant names and places to mail to. While we are waiting for some of these details to work out, we have begun distributing The Mystery of Human Life in Italian on the subway. Daniel speaks a short introduction to the tract in Italian and then we offer them to the people. We have given out almost 200 in 2 days. We are really amazed and encouraged by this. As we pray for the Lord's blood to place a barrier between us and His defeated enemy, we really sense the Lord maintains the peace in the atmosphere. Please pray and stand with Daniel as it is no small thing for him to speak out in this way in a crowded subway car. We have really experienced the Lord's dear shepherding in these days. This Friday we are going to visit brother Abel and his wife for fellowship. This is the brother who allowed Dale to share in his meetings. Then we will go to northern Italy for the blending with the scattered saints for the Lord's day.

We miss you all,
Dale, Janet, and Daniel
