It's all about the Gospel!

What an incredible Joy to serve God in this place.  We have been seeing over a thousand visitors each day in the Garden and have had some pretty incredible opportunities in this place.  We have seen individuals giving their hearts to Jesus, trusting Him by faith alone to be their Savior.  Al has had an unbelievable opportunity to take a group of 30 Jewish tourists through the Garden and shared the gospel with them!  They were courteous and attentive the whole way through the Garden.  Al was pleased that he had the opportunity and that he did not get stoned!

We have had the privilege of hosting groups from all over the world including two very large groups from the US.  One was from Chuck Smith's church in California and the other was traveling with John Hagee.  Their groups were just over 500 people each, amazing crowd.  Just a foretaste of what Easter Sunday morning will be like when we host over a thousand people at a time in the Garden with multiple services!  I am sure that many of you would love to be here with us and we wish you were too!
