THE JOURNEY OF A JEWISH MISSIONARY MOM
I'm thinking of starting a new blog. The wanderings of a Jewish missionary mom
how does that sound? With a section for asking questions and getting answers, at least from this Jewish mother's perspective.
We are off tomorrow. This could be life changing. I have been experiencing some firery darts aimed at my heart. I have been carrying around some low level anxiety and fearfulness. I know that God gave us not a spirit of fear but of a sound mind. I've been reminding myself as a spiritual mandra over and over again. It's exciting, stepping out in faith. An adventure into an unknown realm. Keep us in your prayers.
I thought I had a comment button after each blog but it looks like it disappeared. Where oh where did my button go???????????????
First stop is Detroit, then Amsterdam finally at 9:15 am Tuesday morning we are in Madrid. Got a really cheap flight through NorthWest Airlines $299.00 round trip. Going to Madrid coming back from London. Not bad. They send out sector flying coupons. From anywhere in zone A which is basically the Eastern seaboard to Europe within a certain time frame you go for $299.00. Not bad!
Check it out. I tried to link NW but my linker didn't work. Maybe something is down at blogger could it be connected with my comments button??????????
Nevertheless, I'm expecting great things for the LORD. Souls, I want souls to come into the kingdom. Young souls who would not usually hear the gospel message or want to for that matter. Souls that have been blinded by satan, the world, and their own bad choices. Souls that will come out of the darkness into the light. New birth, new beginnings, new chapters in their lives. Maybe this tragedy in Madrid will be a impetus for change and consideration.
Keep me in your prayers. I will need them. Until I return. I'm away till the 5 April. Maybe I'll blog on the road. I'm hoping to catch up with Andrew Jones in London at least for a couple of hours inbetween flights. He is amazing. Go Andrew go. Dream your dream for the LORD!

Betel Ministries Newsletter
Journey on Missions with Jan and Susan Milner
Well it looks like we are off and running. On March 15th we are heading to Madrid to work with the Betel Ministries. Betel is a drug rehabilitation program. In 1983 a small group of WEC missionaries involved in street evangelism became aware of the huge number of drug addicts in San Blass, a suburb with the highest crime rate in Madrid, Spain. This group challenged the workers and ministry commenced with only a few people involved. A vision of a WEC rehabilitation center was born! In 1985 Betel's residential rehabilitation program began. Since then, Betel ministries have flourished in Spain, England, other parts of Europe, and the world. The passion and vibrancy in the church is electrifying. Many have been freed from the bondage of addiction and gained eternal life through forgiveness of sin. Though death from AIDS and other diseases is a constant reality, the Lord Jesus Christ is their joy, strength, and salvation. Please visit their website at: www.betel.org but it is in Spanish yet the pictures are self explanatory.
We will be helping in the antique stores, with furniture restoration, and in the charity shops. Jan will be assisting in appraisals and placing art and antiques in the best markets to achieve the best prices possible. I will be giving my testimony, praying, possibly teaching and helping in any way I can.
Now most of you have joined us in prayer for past mission trips. I would like to share some of our concerns with you. Maybe you can paste this to your refrigerator as a reminder to pray for us until the 6th April. For God’s will, purpose, and pleasure to be achieved through us. For traveling mercies as we go to Spain, England, Italy and Germany. For our luggage to be safe and flight connections to be on time. For God’s strength, help, and protection on us and on all we leave behind. For good health and the opportunities to share the gospel. For many to come to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For Jan and me to know God’s will not only on our trip but confirmation thereafter. For God to smile!
All you men please keep Jan uplifted especially. I think it’s a great cover when a man prays for another man.
If I can think of any other prayer requests I will send them on to you. I will try to e-mail you from Europe. I look forward to getting some great pictures as I’m taking my digital camera. I will miss all of you. Thanks for sharing the burdens and concerns in prayer.
Love,
Susan and Jan Milner

I am so excited, Alexandra my exceptional daughter is doing mission year next September. She doesn't know where it will be but I know that it will all work out. I'm praying that it will actually be in Atlanta, not too far from home.
We are 5 days and counting down to our missions trip. I've looked on the weather channel for a 10 day forecast for Spain, England, Germany and Italy. Looks like it's in the 30-50's and wet. Why is it always so wet in England?
After working this afternoon at the free clinic I'm off to the hugger to give him a hug. I called up this morning and I said "How are you King? and he replied I'm still alive."
I think he needs a hug. Being housebound with no one to hug you can put you in withdrawal. So, the mighty mother hugger is on the way.

Remember I told you about my friend his name is King Brown, an elderly man from church who has a hug ministry. I got his leaflet on hugging and I will share an except for you.
HUGGING
Hugging is Healthy:
It helps the body's immune system,
It keep you healthier,
It cures depression,
It overcomes fears,
It soothes hurt feeling
It reduces stress,
It induces sleep,
It's invigoration,
It's rejuvenating,
It has no unpleasant side effects,
and is nothing less than a miracle drug.
TWO THINGS ABOUT HUGGING
Hug someone today
Hug two people if it's raining.
Never hug someone tomorrow who you could have hugged today.
HUGGING IS A CONTACT SPORT

It's Tuesday afternoon and I just finished my Chinese take out with Jan. It was sort of a spicy triple delight dish comprising of shrimp, chicken, beef and Chinese vegetables in a black bean sauce. It was delicious. I could have made a real pig out of myself but I had a little self restraint.
Starting to think about my missions trip to Spain, England and Italy. I' getting excited. You would think by now I would know how to pack but with Air Berlin only allows you 20 K of luggage before they ask you pay for excess baggage weight.
So, I am now thoughtfully thinking how I'm going to put my self together. I decided on one color, basically navy blue. Then I don't have to worry about shoes or heavy stuff. I figure I can't borrow shoes but I can borrow a sweater or a jacket. One needs running shoes, walking shoes, and Sunday best shoes. I don't think men have to worry so much about these things. I'm trying my best to plan ahead.
Most of the time even when I go to India I just throw a couple of things into the bag and hope for the best. It always works out and I usually have too much anyway. But then again in India it is basically scrubs.
