A Season of Vindication and Gratitude
Dear friends and prayer partners,
I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as I share this update with you.
After twelve long years, multiple court cases, and ongoing pressure, we have finally reached the end of a very difficult chapter. The verdict is in, and by God’s grace, we have won the case concerning our previous Galilee ministry center. The judge ruled that the landlord acted in bad faith, and every accusation brought against us was dismissed.
While the financial compensation awarded only covers a portion of what was lost, the greatest victory is not monetary, it is freedom. Freedom from harassment. Freedom from accusation. Freedom to move forward without the weight that has followed us for so long.
As Scripture reminds us, “The Lord repays what the locust has eaten.” Our trust has never been in man, but in Yehovah, and once again He has proven faithful. The restoration of our name, our work, and our ability to move forward is worth more than any financial settlement.
In the coming months, we are believing for full restoration, clear standing with the banks, freedom to move forward without restraint, and fresh momentum for all that God has placed in our hands. It truly feels like the shackles have come off, and we are preparing to run again.
What makes this moment even more meaningful is that I am currently writing a new book titled “Before You Take Off.” How fitting that this breakthrough comes while I’m writing about seasons of preparation, pruning, and learning to trust God before acceleration. Many of you read a short excerpt in yesterday’s email from the chapter on Grace, and I hope it encouraged you as deeply as it encouraged me while writing it.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for praying, standing with us, and believing in this ministry. Your partnership matters more than you know. This truly feels like a season of victory, vindication, and renewed momentum.
Our God reigns.
And we are stepping forward with gratitude and expectation.
With love and thanksgiving,
