More from the Kitchen clan:
Samuel Kitchen dreams of building a library in Petra to house the world of Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. Would you be willing to send him money to do that?
Last fall I went to Jerusalem and then to Petra!
The Scripture that stuck out to me on this trip was Jeremiah 6:1.
"O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction."
Another scripture that stuck out to me on this trip was Revelation 12:14.
"And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
When we reached Jerusalem, we found out we could not stay in Jerusalem as it was too dangerous for us there. We fled to Petra. And in Petra we kept the Feast of Trumpets, The Day of atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day.
We had made a proclamation in Jerusalem, for all members of the Worldwide Church of God to join with us in Jerusalem for the Holy days, but soon after, we had to flee and find refuge outside of Jerusalem.
We had gathered in Jerusalem just to flee the city.
When staying in Petra I couldn't help but think on God placing His name there. Could it be "her place"?
Satan was obviously upset with our proclamation in Jerusalem and us being in Petra.
I haven't had such trials before. Christ was showing me sins to overcome and how to deal with certain situations.
I can't help to be thinking about going back to Jerusalem sometime soon. I made some dear friends in Petra. They are like family.
I want to build a library of church materials and establish it in Petra. I think, even if I don't make it,
I want God's people to have access to God's truth. And with God placing His name there last fall, I wonder...when has God placed His name in Petra for His Church? So I've been thinking about that.
How many would contribute to a fundraiser used to build a library for the Worldwide Church of God in Petra?
Let me know below in the comments.
