1 Deeb's Family Update: Dear Friends, It has been a wonderful summer, we have had many good changes and thank the lord for that.. From the beginning, the white harvest ministry had a contact with teams from abroad to come help in the ministry In Israel, and it was clear from the beginning that the ministry would need a van. We prayed for the van and God responded in many ways, at first we got offerings from ministries that were in contact with us, also offerings from members in the Nazareth local Baptist church, and that s how we collected a good amount of money but it wasn t enough, our prayers didn t stop, and after approximately six month, Bishara Got an offering from his father, that helped him collect even a bigger amount of money for this cause and then there was this generous offering from Abba's ambassadors ministry and the van was purchased. Today it s a great blessing and through it we can transport teams to different places for the ministry. This is how our summer started. Finish team worked with TWH

3 And then we had a Trip to Germany and Italy. This happened because we got invited to a conference in Germany with an organization named "Musalaha" which means reconciliation; it works between Arab Christians and messianic Jews in Israel. It is a very nice organization the Deeb girls have been involved in it for years. It was Bishara's first time there. When the family got invited to this conference, it coincided with Bishara and Loubna's th th 25 anniversary that is on the 6 of September. The family thought of going to Italy after Germany, in Italy the couple had their honey moon. We worked on it and made our plans and we prayed for it. Our prayers were followed by Abba's ambassador's question about our plans, and we got financial support for our Trip. The trip was amazing, the family had lots of fun time together,, we enjoyed the conference and the fellowship in Germany, and Italy was an amazing time were we had lots of time together, we rented an apartment, and cooked together, swam in the lake, Baraa and Noura handled the map, we had some tiny arguments about who gets to set in the middle. We stayed in the north of Italy, visited Verona, Venice, Lake Garda, and Como Lake. We learned more about each other and we had great quality time.

6 After Baraa was finished with her B.A, she moved back from Teland she is looking for a program to Aviv to Nazareth, she started volunteering in the Nazareth Baptist School use her knowledge in cinema practically. Noura moved to a new apartment with a Druze girl and a Muslim girl, they both study with her Gender and women studies, they became friends very fast. Noura and the Muslim Girl, B, had a lot of time to spend together, and B, had asked Noura many question about her faith, and with out Noura realizing how fast it happened, the Girl asked her to pray with her for her salvation and she accepted Jesus Christ as her saviour. This is Noura's first experience, and it is a very amazing blessing. B is a strong Girl, she works in two jobs, studies, her father passed away two years ago, and she takes care of legal issues and takes care of the land in Jerusalem, her mom and sister are nice, but she is the strongest of them all. She knows what she wants and she wants life with Jesus, but her big obstacle is that she need to learn to involved Him in every aspect of her life. Your prayers would be appreciated, please pray for wisdom for Noura, and that she may know how to disciple her, also that it wouldn't be weird since they are both housemates. Loubna and Bishara are working with a Family, Marline the lady live alone with two children, it is a family in need, this is very important for the Deeb family and we ask you to pray for this family, it is one of the ways God is using us in His ministry, helping women in need, with their children and family. Thank you for all of your prayers, and we are thankful because God gives us this privilege to serve Him in all. Yours sincerely, Deeb Family.
