An UPDATE from Ariel:

Dear Loved Ones,

Your generosity means so much to us! Some fundamental tasks are taking much longer for me (Ariel) than they used to. We are working at relocating and finding our own flat after 68+ moves in and around Poriya Illit. Not having our own space and constantly searching thru boxes to find supplies or clothes is exhausting as well as trying to remember from season to season where things are stored. It seems so important as this journey has been much harder on Cindy than on me. For her sake, I hope that the end is in sight; this is a great need of prayer, that we would know and walk in ABBA's will. In the Tiberias area prices fluctuate considerably, and we have lived in Poriya Illit the whole time we have been here, and believe we are here because God has placed us in this community even though the prices are much higher.

A couple of weeks ago, the doctor who was directing my treatment, died unexpectedly.

We have tried thru research and trips to agencies, to connect with a doctor who will offer alternative medicine; however, we have been unsuccessful. Our medical insurance will only pay for chemotherapy, and my reaction to the chemo in the initial tests was severe, so much that I am not able to function mentally with it. So, we are trying to continue with two protocols as recommended by the Cancer Institute and the doctor who died. I try to keep on schedule with the equipment, and Cindy works on the juicing and supplements. But she is stretched.

My Sons and I talk for long periods, and our communication is excellent, sometimes we get to pray. They are willing to come to visit, but it is impractical and not needed for now.

My focus is to hear His voice and follow while giving him all the glory and honor, for He alone is worthy. And I want to remain a faithful witness. There is so much to come.

I much appreciate all that you have done, prayers, support, and a listening ear of faithful brothers and sisters. Love you all so very much
