Jaffo – Simon the Tanner’s House
St. Peter, regarded as the most important and spokesman of the Apostles, resided in the house of Simon the Tanner in Jaffa (Acts 10 6): “He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side”.
In this house, St. Peter had a significant dream, which changed the course of history: including gentiles in the newly founded church. According to tradition, the resurrection of Tabitha also happened on the roof of the house.
For most of us 2020 was a year full of disappointments and uncertainties. Those of you who had plans of visiting Israel had to change those plans and postpone it indefinitely. In life it is easy to get stuck on what could have been but what was not. We want to challenge you to stop looking back on what should have been and start to get excited about what can be!
Life is unpredictable and especially now with the whole world still under Covid arrest, but we serve a God of the impossible. If you still have a burning desire to visit Israel, whether it is for the first time or if you have been here before, we want to challenge you to start looking ahead and trusting the Father to make this dream a reality.
We would love to help you plan your trip to Israel! Although we do not have any dates available for when the skies will open up again, we want to encourage you to write to us and give us your information. Tell us when you would like to make your trip, what you would like to see and do, whether you would want to join a tour or just come to Israel and enjoy the experience of being in the Land. Share with us your hearts and desires.
How exciting it is to know that we still serve the same God Who can make the impossible, possible even in the midst of chaos.
