It is a long process and sometimes Israel do not give permits to everyone. If a person has a brother in prison or was a martyr, they do not issue a permit for that person. We get the permits one or two days prior to the event date.

Paul: Do you feel that you are in a spiritual battle here in Bethlehem?

Daniel: I think there is a spiritual battle in every physical life.

We know that God is here. We know that Satan is here. And we know that there is a battle between good and evil all the time. Some people may appear to be like angels but they are not, so yes it is a battle.

Paul: What is your prayer for Israel and Palestine?

My prayer is for God to reign with His peace and justice and let people know what is happening and what needs to happen. CR
