Partial ATOR Team arriving from around the country at Bush Intercontinental, Houston, TX
Dear Friends of Improbable People Ministries and A Tour Of Roses. Welcome to our preview of the ATOR missions trip to Israel, 2024. The team has been working for months in the planning of this momentous excursion abroad in the Land of God’s Chosen People. My name is Michael O’Connor and I’ll be your tour guide through these daily updates we will be sending to you by way of your email inbox. Before we introduce the team you’ll be following for about two weeks, we should take care of a little business:
You are receiving this update because you are either a regular subscriber to the GraceNotes From Sally Devotional, the From Here to Eternity Blog, are a prayer intercessor for one or more of the ATOR Team Members or you happened to hear about the amazing mission and decided to see what it was all about. If you do not wish to receive our daily updates for the next two weeks all you need to do is go to the bottom of the email we sent to you and click the UNSUBSCRIBE button at the very bottom. We don’t want to be junk mail for anyone.
We will do our best to get you the latest information as soon as it’s available from the team. Please understand this will be an uneven process with hopefully at least one report per day. But the time of day will fluctuate because the first order of business is the ministry and care for the condition of our Team Members. And some days there may be no report because the team is too weary from ministering on the streets of Israel. Our faithful correspondent and intrepid cub reporter Robert Emmert will interview team members on the day’s activities and relay his quotes back here in the States where I’ll compile the stories and photos to release a new edition of the A Tour Of Roses Update.
The main purpose of these updates will be to inform you, our dear friends in ministry, so you can be vigilant on behalf of these warriors on the front lines of the Kingdom—especially in the midst of war.
The Team thanks you in advance for your prayer covering and for those who were able to support the team financially as well.
At the end of each post there will be a chance you you to send words of encouragement in the Comments section and we hope you’ll take advantage of the chance to lift the spirits of a particular brother or sister.
