The Lord is really blessing us with music! I now have a repertoire of 12 Jewish songs of worship, 4 American songs of worship, and 2 Jewish songs of praise. Also, Rebeka brought her guitar out of mothballs and now accompanies me.

We decided to have a mini version of our Messianic Service at Mohammed’s. Wanted to give him a taste of what we’d like to someday do on a much grander scale. I was on keyboards and Rebeka the guitar.

As it turned out, Mohammed enjoyed the music very much and wished we had played longer. This was a major accomplishment, conducting a Messianic Service in a Muslim establishment.

Since than Lura and I have contacted Arad’s Hebrew and Arad’s Russian congregations, telling them about a Messianic Concert we’ll be having Oct. 5th at Mohammed’s. Asking their musicians, singers, etc to help participate.
