Dear friends, the Lord has given the Israeli Christians some wonderful praise and worship  music.  Most of these beautiful songs have never been heard in the West. In Israel in the small fellowship started by our son-in-law Michael and his friends in northern Galilee, we sang in English while they sang in Hebrew and believe it or not, it sounded great!  I thought so anyway, and I think the Lord did too. The songbook has 230 songs with sheet music, chords and the English translation.   If you would like a copy of the official Israeli Christian songbook,  Michael has it on his web shop at http://www.israelunique.com/shop/music/zimrat.htm  and he also has the eight CD set so that you can hear the songs sung.  The link for that is http://www.israelunique.com/shop/music/fruitofzion.htm

The Jews who have accepted Jesus as their Messiah are a tiny minority living in the land God gave Abraham 4,000 years ago, and life can be tough for them.  Maybe that is why the Lord has given them such beautiful songs to sing, songs we had never heard before.

Our son-in-law and daughter in northern Israel play and sing some of this beautiful music at home and in the fellowship, which meets in a rented room.  The little fellowship is now about 15 people, and had their first baptism in the Mediterranean Sea recently.   

I love these songs and think they are such a great way of learning a bit of Hebrew!
