A Tour Of Roses Israel, Day 12
Dear Friends Of Improbable People Ministries And A Tour Of Roses,
If you are looking for mystery, intrigue and a wondered sense of the unknown . . . answer these four questions for me:
● How does a woman take 10 large durable plastic flower buckets, magically turn them into a bunch of beautiful flowers, then make those white flowers disappear right before your very eyes for a Shabbat service?
● How does a casual trip to the mall turn into a 3-hour prayer session with a Nutella sandwich thrown in for good measure?
● How do 10 Americans make 900 roses disappear in just 40 minutes? And are they willing to share their secret with Penn & Teller?
● How can a conversation that takes place in Israel fail to be understood in English? Fail to be understood in Hebrew? But is ultimately successful in Spanish?
What can I say? It was a day for sleight of hand and slight of, uhhh–tongue. Mmmmmm . . . NU-TEL-LA! We know you can’t wait to see the connections in all this. So take it away TEAM Rose!

A Tour Of Roses Israel, Day 10
This soldier is packing heat. But so are our ladies.
Dear Friends of Improbable People Ministries and A Tour Of Roses,
We have reached double digits in days and possibly triple digits in temperature. Yet, when you read the stories below you’ll see there is nothing but joy being spread in Haifa these days. At least when it comes to our crack team of Rose-ologists. (It’s a word–trust me! I’m going to spring it on Sally in a game of Scrabble when she least expects it.)
But before we share those tales we’re going to break tradition and let you all know about some specific prayer requests needed for Team Members. They are not a complaining lot, but sometimes the journey can wear one down. So please take a moment to read and lift our street warriors and their issues individually up in prayer. We thank you for your ever-faithful covering of the Team.
ERIC is down with a sore throat and some congestion
LURA‘s ankle is swollen.
DAVE has a heat rash in and around–these are his words–“Area 51”.
SUNNY asks for strength and safety.
KHAHLIDA has severe trauma triggers that are causing her to lose sleep.
KAREN has an issue with her knee. She requests prayer for better sleep and energy.
SALLY: “God gave me what I needed this morning. My voice is certainly not great. Tired.”
Please pray also for unity for the group. Mission trips can be true testing grounds for love and patience.
Sally administered communion today and asked the team to search their hearts and make right with
anyone on the team they were having trouble with.
Finally, keep praying for the flights for Air France to reopen on Saturday so everyone can begin the journey home safely and on schedule. THANK YOU.
A Tour Of Roses Israel, Day 9
Dear Friends Of Improbable People Ministries and A Tour Of Roses,
Given the circumstances and heightened tension of their surroundings, the Team’s first day in Haifa was relatively peaceful. The sirens only blared once to send our men and women to the local bomb shelter. Just another day in Paradise, I guess. Meantime, A Tour Of Roses hit the streets of Haifa with thrilling and heartwarming results. So let’s hear from them directly.
A Tour Of Roses Israel, Day 5
Dear Friends of Improbable People Ministries and A Tour of Roses,
As we are still playing catch up with previous days activities of the Team, let’s not waste any time. Here are some testimonies of A Tour Of Rose on the streets of Tel Aviv on Wednesday. What can I say? Get your hankies and Kleenex ready. These are some very moving stories coming your way.
TESTIMONIES
ANNIE:
Praises are that there have already been so many Divine connections. Muslim and Israeli taxi cab drivers were calling us over to get roses. Some would give it to the woman in the back, others alone. The question, why are you doing this would come, and I could tell them that God loves them, that we in America are praying for them.
So many just couldn’t stop thanking us! The love God is evident and touches so many as we give out roses. There is so much more to report but it’s been constant running.
My biggest prayer is for enough sleep, and that the enemy will stop throwing up blockades.
Like today. I got locked in the bathroom. The first night we were locked out of our bedroom, and we also got stuck in an elevator. The enemy doesn’t like what we’re about, but the people receiving flowers are so touched! Today one lady wanted a picture of me holding the roses, she was amazed that we came from America to do this! So please do pray for more Divine encounters. Also, we cleaned and prepared these roses yesterday. So much more to come.

Dear Friends of Improbable People Ministries and A Tour Of Roses,
As you can see by the 12 beautifully assembled visages above, the entire ATOR contingent has landed in Tel Aviv, tired but glad to be, at long last, in The Promised Land. Apparently, it’s been an eventful day. Unfortunately I have only sketchy reports on what has transpired as most have gone to bed. While I sit in the air conditioned comfort of my home at 7 PM Central time, our weary travelers are mostly fast asleep. To give perspective, those of you readers in the Eastern Time Zone–Israel is 7 hours ahead of you and it’s already Sunday. Add another hour for the Central and the difference is 8 hours. And those of you shaking and baking on the West Coast are a full 10 hours behind God’s Chosen People. No wonder you’re so complacent. How will you ever catch up?
