Verse of the Day
In
hope against hope he believed. . . . Without
becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body . . . and the deadness of Sarah's
womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. (Romans 4:18–21)
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 ESV)

Come-Stay-Celebrate! By Judith Galblum Pex
Make yourself available to God, and He will use you
in ways you can't imagine!
You will be convinced of this as you read the story
of John and Judy Pex and their conversions as hippies roaming the world in the
1970s to their immigration to Israel, and how the door opened for them to start
a hostel near the Red Sea.
In the volatile and highly-charged atmosphere of
the Middle East, the Shelter is a point of reconciliation between believers and
non-believers, Jews and non-Jews, Israelis and Arabs, all staying together
under one roof. For people from over ninety countries the Shelter Hostel has
provided a beacon of light and a welcoming home for thirty years, as the Pexes
use their gifts of hospitality and evangelism.
Enjoy these touching and humorous
stories that reveal how the Lord uses ordinary people to participate in His
extraordinary work.
Margie’s Comments: Ever since I first read and reviewed Judith Pex’s other two books with Cladach—Walk the Land: A Journey on Foot through Israel and A People Tall and Smooth: Stories of escape from Sudan to Israel—I’ve wanted to know more about the hostel she and her husband run in southern Israel. Their testimony of how they came to know the Lord and each other and how the Lord drew them into this wonderful ministry through the hostel is fascinating. Come-Stay-Celebrate is full of stories about Judy and John’s life together. I thoroughly enjoyed reading their story . . . and who knows? Maybe one day I will get to meet this fascinating couple who continue to use their gifts and talents to glorify their Lord. I highly recommend this book to all my readers.

physical, emotional, or spiritual support. John, from Holland, is the pastor of
the Eilat Congregation, a multi-cultural, non-denominational fellowship.

"Judy Pex loves the Lord and she loves Israel.
My wife and I have wholeheartedly enjoyed her compelling and
wonderfully-written stories about all that God has been accomplishing through
her and John and their team. Their fascinating vantage point on Israel and the

Verse of the Day
Shout joyfully to
the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with
joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us,
and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His
gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless
His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His
faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100)
Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for
His mighty deeds; praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him
with trumpet sound; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and
dancing; praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud
cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath
praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150)

Verse of the Day
The
fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is
the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's
our handle on what we can't see. . . . It's
impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who
wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares
enough to respond to those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:1, 6 MSG)
