Dear Mishpachah (family):

I though that it would be nice to give you a report on the
Loveland, Colorado "For the Love of Zion" conference where I spoke
on November 7-8, 1998 as well as give you a newsgroup update.

The "For the Love of Zion" conference was put together by a
newsgroup member named Cheryl Sanchez. I met Cheryl at the 1998
Jerusalem conference sponsored by the Arkansas Institute of Holy
Lands Studies in Little Rock, Arkansas this past August.

God was speaking to Cheryl's heart at the conference and telling
you that she was going to network with somebody at the conference.
But, she didn't know it was me! I "ran into" Cheryl in between
sessions in Little Rock. She told me that she had read my book, "Who
is the Bride of Christ?" and thanked me for writing the book because
the book confirmed many things to her that the Lord had been showing
her over the years. After I thanked her and after we talked for a
while, she asked me if I would be willing to come to Colorado to
teach a seminar. I said, YES! , if I my airfare and lodging was
provided so that I could attend.

After a month or so, Cheryl sent me an e-mail note and asked
me if I was still interested in coming to Colorado. I said that I
was. So, she discussed having me come to Colorado with others in
her area. Everybody was excited about having me come and teach on the
Hebraic roots of our faith in Messiah and plans were made to have a
"For the Love of Zion" conference in Loveland, Colorado.

For me, it was a WONDERFUL conference. I am sure Cheryl would
tell all our newsgroup members that the conference was a blessing to
all who attended. We had about 75 people attend. The conference fee
was $25 which included a couple of catered meals on Saturday. On
Saturday, I spoke on three subjects:

#1) Yeshua/ Jesus are Jewish Messiah. In this teaching, I showed that
Yeshua/Jesus was born a Jew, lived a Jew and died a Jew and is
coming back to rule and reign on the earth for 1,000 as a Jew
teaching the Torah to the nations (Isaiah 2:2-4) and how the Bible is
a Jewish book and we need to understand the culture of ancient Israel
to get the greatest depth of understanding from the Bible.

#2) The Spring Festivals

#3) The 7,000 year plan of God and the Fall Festivals

On Sunday, I spoke about the "Restoration of the Two Houses
of Israel" from Ezekiel 37:15-27 based upon God's covenant with
Avraham / Abraham.

Brad Young's new book on the "Hebraic background of the
Parables of Jesus" became available several weeks ago. I ordered 10
copies to make them available to people at the conference. The book
retails for $25. I made the book available at a special price of $20
for the conference. All 10 books were gone in a jiffy! I wonder what
would have happened if I had brought 100 !!!!!

On Saturday, we were introduced to a Messianic dance team
from the area. They have been doing the "dances of Israel" for over
10 years and have been invited to dance in Jerusalem for various
feasts in the past. They were AWESOME! They got people so excited
singing and dancing the songs of Zion that about EVERYBODY in
attendance was dancing! Everbody got to taste the JOY of Shabbat and
got a taste of the Olam Habba (heaven).

I arrived safely from Denver to Chicago. On my flight from
Chicago to Ohio, my flight was cancelled !!! I had to stay overnight
in Chicago and get a flight on Monday morning. When Monday morning
arrived, my flight was cancelled again !!!! I was flying on United
Airlines but I got rerouted back to Ohio through Pittsburg via US
Airlines. When I arrived back to Ohio, I had to go to work! I worked
the "afternoon" shift from 1:30PM to 9:30PM. On Tuesday, I rested up
from my adventurous weekend and found out that my aunt died. On
Wednesday night, I went to the funeral home with my mom and dad.

Tonight, I started to go through the newsgroup e-mail from Sept 2. I
have about 800 e-mail's to read. I only got through about 100 tonight
and decided to send out some newsgroup articles. I hope to get
better caught up through the weekend and the beginning of next week.
It is my plan to have newsgroup again next week.

I wish that you could have been at the "For the Love of
Zion" conference in Loveland, Colorado this past weekend. If you
couldn't attend this conference, perhaps you may be interested in
having one in your own area. All you have to do is ask and I would be
more than willing to come.

I will be speaking January 22-24, 1999 in Houston, Texas at
the 7th Millennium Gulf Coast Prophecy Conference. I will send
further information in a separate e-mail.

Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding
regarding the newsgroup and for giving me time to "breathe" and "get
my head above water". You are and always will remain my "Misphpachah
/ family".

Shalom in Messiah,
