Hey everybody, it's Chris Byber, the director of the National House of Prayer, coming to you today from Kabutz Betzera in the Galilee in Israel. We're not far from the Sea of Galilee. This is where we're staying actually while we're in Israel at the Aliyia Return Center with our friends from Return Ministries here not too far from the Sea of Galilee. We've been seeing some amazing things. But I want to talk to you a little bit today about regular life and normal life in Israel. In behind me, you can see that there is uh we're going to be having a celebration, a Shabbat celebration. Pentecost is this weekend. It's a long weekend in fact. And so we're going to be having a big

celebration tonight and eating lots of uh this is the whitest thing that I wear. You wear white and you eat lots of things. You eat cheesecake. That's not bad. I like that. But I want to show you another dimension of um what is normal life here in Israel. And it's right here, right behind me. And you look at that and it looks like a bunch of rocks. Can you see that? Well, it's actually not a bunch of rocks. It's a bomb shelter. And there are bomb shelters everywhere. And in fact, because it's shodd, they are expecting some incoming missiles all over the place. They don't anticipate them to hit end here, but this is interesting. So they people have apps on their phone that will send an

alert to take shelter. Horns will go off and if we hear a siren, this is where we're running. It's not too far. And we can run inside here into the bomb shelter. I'm heading in right now. So I you can see it right now. I've got the uh I don't know if you can see it very well, but here you can see the change. Let me go back here and then down the stairs into the bomb shelter. normal Israeli life in Israel. I'm Chris Bible, the director of the National House of Prayer, and we'll see you next time. Bye for now. [Music]
