Good morning from Galilee, Israel.

Good morning from Galilee, Israel.

This is my last Shabbat here in my beloved homeland until nearly the middle of August. In the coming weeks, I’ll have the privilege of spending time with many of you aboard the Alaska cruise and at conferences across America, Dubai, New Zealand, and Australia. My family will be with me for the first part of this journey. After that, I’ll continue - partly on my own and partly with my dear friend, Pastor Barry Stagner.

One would think that after all these years of traveling and speaking around the world, this would come naturally. The truth is - it never does.

Every tour begins with the same three questions.

Am I spiritually ready?

This time I’ll be sharing several brand-new messages on the cruise while also bringing recent teachings to many places I’ve never had the opportunity to visit before.

Am I physically ready?

Over the next seven and a half weeks, I’ll speak 30 times, take 15 flights, and travel thousands of miles. For someone living with a herniated disc, airports and long travel days are anything but enjoyable.

Am I mentally ready?

Different time zones, changing cultures, unfamiliar environments, constant packing and unpacking, changing weather, and the responsibility of ministering day after day can be overwhelming.

The enemy never fails to whisper the same answer to each of those questions:

“No.”

But then the Lord reminds me:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)

Scripture also teaches me not to hesitate to ask for your prayers:

“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified… and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.”
2 Thessalonians 3:1–2 (NKJV)

Thank you for praying - for strength, wisdom, protection, health, safe travels, and above all, that the Messiah would be glorified and His Word would be faithfully proclaimed wherever He opens a door.

Thank you for standing with us.

Awaiting His Return,

Amir
